The information provided before purchasing the ticket was misleading as you make it seem like Osaka castle is covered in the price which it certainly was not. So I had to join a separate line and pay extra to get into Osaka castle. This is just not right

I purchased the pass to enter Osaka Castle Tower, as declared at the venue. There was an information sign at the entrance that stated 'Osaka Pass / Osaka Pass Premium'. I have bought 4 tickets for the entrance to the Tower right there but we were not allowed to enter since regular Pass is not eligible for Osaka Castle Tower. I tried to cancel my booking or reschedule it for the next day but support team told me it was not possible. Since we already scheduled the day, we were not able to use any out of 4 Passes at all. It is clear, that I purchased the wrongd Passes, but 1. The information, provided at the venue, was definitely confusing. 2. There should be a possibility to cancel the booking right after purchase to provide the better customer experience and avoid wierd situations as I had. I really hope the service will be updated, and I plan to use it next time when I come to beautiful Osaka again.

It would be better if the places that is within your e pass has detailed direction on how to access. Dont give us the name of the place only. Please it would be better if it goes like this: For Umeda Sky the best route is this . Or that . For Glion museum the best route is that this . . Detailed information because its really time consuming if it will be in our side whose doing the research on how to get there.. . .

It was great! Had so many inclusions ! We enjoyed the experiences more than anything! Got to go to a Giant ferris wheel, ride on the Osaka metro. Enjoyed the Osaka castle. There were probably few other things I'm sure we missed. Wish it had a little more specifics about what it included especially with the activities and Trains.. for example did you know it doesn't include the entirety of the nankai line? Especially out to izumisano. More details on what's included would be great so people who like to be prepared know what they're in for and can plan and accommodate.

COnvienent. Also shorter (no) ticket line at Osaka castle. WOuld have been great, but there is no Wifi and data reception at the turnstiles in Ebisuchō Station. I had to go to an exit and run back to the turnstile before 60 seconds was up.

Excellent value. Easy to use once you realise that you use the train / facilities ticket for the principle attractions, not just the train. Only problem is that the QT code is only valid for use for 1 minute after loading, which is easily reset, but we did come to one station where there was no mobile or WiFi coverage which is needed each time to generate the codes

Nice having all in one but not sure I would buy again as rail is not expensive and there is no where near enough time in one day to do a fraction of the sights - we basically just did the castle so I expect for this ticket paid way, way more that we would have.
