Don't worry about whether it's cost-effective or not. Just being able to enter Osaka Castle without queuing up to buy tickets and using the fast pass is worth it.

easy to collect. i collect at the JR office at KIX station. just went to the counter and show the slip in my phone. i can also book the shinkansen for the dates the pass is active even before the pass was activated. i booked the pass to start on day 6 of my trip onwards. i get to ride the one piece shinkansen with it. A return day trip from shin osaka to takamatsu already worth the kansai wide area pass.

This was a very fun experience. I was able to learn how to make nigiri as well as learn how to make the Californian roll. I 10/10 recommend to you if you love sushi and sashimi.

The 1 hour session was really worth the time and money! We learnt about history of Japan, food, got our hands sticky from mochi balls, photos and lots of fun and laughter. The team of ladies (Lena, Luna, Izumi and another lady sorry I forgot your name) were exceptional in their effort to present in spoke in English. Kudos 👏 I would definitely recommend this class to anyone visiting Dontonburi! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

It was a difficult course to see in one day, but thanks to the Rakuraku tour, I was able to see the places I wanted to see with ease. I took a lot of photos I liked and made happy memories, so it was a perfect day. The guide gave me various information about Japan while we were moving, and the photos he took for me while posing at the travel destinations... It was all great. The list of good restaurants, shopping lists, various discount coupons, and answers to my questions that he gave me when I returned to Osaka were also very helpful. If I go on a trip outside of Osaka, I will look for the Rakuraku tour again. This tour that allows you to see Nara Park, Arashiyama, and Kiyomizu-dera in one day~~~ Highly recommended. ^^ (Thank you, guide Leo!!! Thanks to you, it was an enjoyable tour.)

Had such a cool day today exploring Awaji Island! Started with Tadao Ando's Church of the Sea and Yumebutai (Dream Stage) - super peaceful spot with amazing architecture. The whole place was so quiet and photogenic, I couldn't stop taking pictures! Then we checked out Honpukuji (Water Temple), this underground Buddhist temple that felt really mysterious and spiritual. Our guide was awesome - knew all the history and fun facts about the area. Felt like I was learning while having fun! Finished the day at A Happy Pancake watching the sunset with some fluffy pancakes. Perfect way to relax after all that exploring. 10/10 would recommend this trip if you're into architecture, nature, and just chilling. Great mix of sightseeing and downtime! PS: Our guide was also an amazing photographer - got some killer shots for us!
