After activating the card, you can enter the subway and many attractions for free, making it suitable for foreign tourists who have a two-day independent trip in Osaka.
We booked a sightseeing boat tour of Dotonbori through Kkday; it was evening, and the neon lights on both sides were flashing. The boat crew's lively explanations and interaction with the tourists on both sides made it very interesting!
For traveling with elders, this is indeed a good choice for visiting more remote tourist attractions in Japan; the half-crab seafood meal was quite good, and the itinerary time was well-managed. My favorite part was the Ine Bay boat trip feeding the seagulls, even though the tour guide was very good at taking photos. Highly recommended!
Speaking of the key figures in this tour, our guide and driver deserve a million likes! Their quality was phenomenal! First, a huge shout-out to the driver—his driving was incredibly safe and steady, with flawless cornering and braking. The entire journey was comfortable; even those prone to motion sickness slept soundly in the car. His driving was superb! As for the guide, he was the soul of the group. He was incredibly friendly and enthusiastic, providing attentive care throughout the trip without any unnecessary distractions. At each attraction, he provided detailed explanations of the history and culture behind it, such as the significance of Todai-ji Temple and the ancient Fushimi Inari Senbon Torii gates. It was truly enlightening! The guide even taught us where to buy affordable and delicious Uji matcha souvenirs and how to safely feed the deer, avoiding any aggressive behavior. He was incredibly thoughtful! Traveling with them was a smooth and worry-free experience; their service far exceeded the tour fee—definitely not a waste of money! The staff here are so cunning, they're definitely worth your time. I highly recommend them to everyone; crazy encores are practically common sense!
It was a bit of a hassle because I ordered enough for three people, so I had to go to the bathroom every time we went in and out, resulting in a baby girl... but it was really worth it. I probably earned back the subway fare on the first day alone. Even though it's a hassle, I'll still buy it if I go to Osaka again because it's such a great deal.
