Cheap Transportation Card: Osaka Amazing, Tokyo Subway, Kyoto Bus Pass

With this card, transportation in Japan looks cheap.

Alhamdulillah, I finished traveling alone in 3 cities in Japan : Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo. Well, I want to share a few tips so that transportation in Japan looks cheap.

To make it easier, I share for each city.

First, Kyoto: Kyoto Bus Pass

For 1 day travelling around Kyoto, I bought a Kyoto Bus Pass for 1 day for 500 yen. When compared to buying a train ticket JR point to point that the price of one ride is around 120 yen -260  yen, obviously Kyoto Bus Pass is cheaper. And even more pleasant, many tourist area in Kyoto are passed by buses. This Kyoto Bus Pass can be purchased at the Tourist Information Center.

Second, Tokyo: Tokyo Subway Pass

Available for 24 hours, 36 hours, 72 hours. The price is ¥800 yen, ¥1200 yen, ¥1500 yen.

The clock will be counted when the card is first used. For example, it will be used at 12 noon, so if you buy a 24-hour day pass, you can use it until 12 noon the next day. It's better than calculated per day.

The place to buy the card is in all tourist information centers or in bic camera stores that are widely spread in Tokyo.

This Tokyo subway pass covers all metro lines, which are 13 lines (if not forgotten). And that covers all tourist areas in Tokyo.

The experience of using the Tokyo Subway Pass is not only cheap, so it's not a worry if you miss the station, because we just need to enter the card again, continue to ride the subway again. So don't have to pay again.

Oh yeah, this Tokyo subway pass can't be used for JR trains. How do you compare the JR and subway trains? roughly speaking, the JR train is on land, the subway is underground.

Third, Osaka: Osaka Amazing Pass

Well, this is my favorite day pass. By buying Osaka Amazing pass, we can take the subway, bus, and free to enter the 30 tourist attractions. Like the Floating Garden Observatory, Tombori River Cruise, and Osaka Castle Museum that you can visit for free.

By buying this amazing osaka we can save a lot of money. Because once entered tourist attractions can cost 800 yen - 1500 yen.

The price is 1-day Pass: 2,500yen and 2-day Pass: 3,300yen

May be useful.
