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.

It is very cost-effective to vote one by one. It is very cost-effective if you travel to and from Okayama, but remember not to go to the wrong place when redeeming the Shinkansen!

It's a pity that I didn't use the Okayama Enjoyment Pass this time, otherwise the overall package would have been quite cost-effective! ! This item is a match, purchased together with the Wide Area Travel Pass

After arriving at Osaka Airport on this trip, the four days of the itinerary were spent at scenic spots around Kyoto. 1st day - KIX directly to Kyoto (reserved seat by Haruka) 2nd day - Kyoto to Saga Arashiyama (round trip, purchase the Arashiyama train separately) 3rd day Kyoto Go to Eizan (Purchase a one-day Eizan tram ticket separately for Rurikoin and Kifune Shrine) 4th day Kyoto-KIX (by Haruka) with reserved seats, and you will get a free Kyoto-Hanshin train one-day ticket with just the purchase, which is quite a discount.

After arriving at Kansai Airport in the afternoon, it is very convenient and fast to redeem the JR pass with the QR Code and passport. When purchasing the ticket, you will get a one-day pass for Keihan, Hanshin Electric Railway and Kyoto Bus, which is a great value.
