Osaka Castle
Museum
Osaka Castle is one of Japan's most famous landmarks, right in the center of Osaka Prefecture. Built in the 16th century, this castle offers an exciting look into Japan's past. When you visit, be sure to buy an Osaka Castle ticket to explore the main castle tower. Inside the castle, there's a history museum, where you can see thousands of historical artifacts like samurai swords, armor, and weapons. If you go up to the top floor, the Osaka Castle Observation Deck lets you see stunning 360-degree views of the city. The castle grounds, covering about two square kilometers, are just as fascinating as the castle itself. As you walk around Osaka Castle Park, you can visit the peaceful Nishinomaru Garden, the old Sakuramon Gate, and the beautiful outer moat. It’s especially gorgeous during cherry blossom season and fall when the leaves and plum trees are at their brightest. With so many things to explore, Osaka Castle is a must-visit when you're in the city.

Value for money as it becomes cheaper to use this pass than to pay the train fare to Uji. Used this pass to just get from Osaka to Uji. Didn't have the time to explore everything the pass offers

You have to go to the ticket exchange area at Kyoto Station to queue up and exchange it for a physical ticket. If you need to achieve HARUKA, you can just buy this.

When going to Himeji, you must buy it and get a free Hankyu-Hanshin Kyoto subway ticket. You can pre-wire it at the airport and use the green JR machine to reserve your own seat. It is highly recommended.

Using Kyoto as your accommodation, you can travel to and from Uji, Nara, Kobe, and Osaka within three days, saving at least half of the transportation costs, plus 3 free e-sims. The whole package is really cost-effective, and I recommend it to friends who plan to go to Kansai.
