For a traveler like me who come from Malaysia, Japan is quite expensive place to visit. Everything in Japan is four times more expensive than Malaysia.
However, we can save a lot for the transportation if we get their unlimited ride passes. There is few types of passes available depending on our needs and areas.
1. Osaka unlimited 2 day pass – 2,000yen
- Tempozan giant ferris wheel – free with pass
- Osaka Museum of History – free with pass

- Universal Studio Osaka entrance fee – discount 200yen with Osaka pass / 6,200yen normal price
2. Kansai 3days Thru Pass – 5,000yen
