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.

It's very beautiful. It's a place where you can overlook the night view of Osaka. It's very suitable for couples to come together (single dogs should be prepared to be flashed)

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.

Buying through Klook is much cheaper than at the counter. I recommend checking the sunset time that day, then go an hour early, take pictures, and wait to see the sunset.

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.

Very beautiful, lucky to catch the last entry at 10 o'clock. No need to queue at all, the guidance line is smooth, and the elevator is also fast. The top floor is very spacious and has views on all sides. It is recommended not to wear white clothes, it is difficult to take pictures because of the fluorescent light on the ground.
