Dah setahun, baru lah tamat cerita Istanbul and Eastern Europe... Lepas ke sana, ada lagi a few places yg saya dah p termasuklah repeat Kansai Area dan juga ke Surabaya. Since next week nak terbang ke Osaka..(again??) hahaha.... ya..to Osaka again.. So, hari ini saya nak cerita tentang Osaka Amazing Pass.
Bagi yang baru 1st time nak ke Osaka dan on a tight budget, bolehla invest on Osaka Amazing Pass. Osaka Amazing Pass ni bagi saya memang sangat berbaloi untuk melawat ke tempat-tempat menarik di Osaka. Selain daripada dapat masuk atau menggunakan servis secara percuma, anda juga boleh menggunakan perkhidmatan subway dan metro Osaka yang berselirat itu secara percuma.
Harga?
Harganya sangatlah mampu milik di mana 1 day pass = 2500 yen dan 2 days pass = 3300 yen sahaja.
Dimana?
Paling mudah, Anda boleh beli di Kansai International Airport, travel desk. Sampai2 ja airport, boleh belik. X perlu guna hari yang sama pon. Bila beli, anda akan dapat card dan juga booklet yang mengandungi peta subway dan info mengenai tempat2 percuma dan diskaun yang ditawarkan. Terdapat juga suggested itinerary untuk anda ikuti. Boleh bayar cash ataupun guna credit card. However, once activated, u have to use it consecutive days... Dia bukan macam Kansai thru pass ya..

Very early in the morning, kami activate Osaka Amazing Pass untuk ke Osaka Castle Museum (no 22). Jika anda berminat atau ada masa terluang, boleh juga ke Osaka Museum of History (no 27) yang terletak berdekatan dengan Osaka Castle Museum. Near Osaka Castle, you can also picnic at
Osaka Castle Nishinomaru Garden (no 24). Kami makan light lunch di situ...
