#tripkejepun : Osaka - Travel for Free?
August 14, 2015 | Adiek Sarah

Travel for free? Hahaha..you wish! Japan is known as an expensive country, but it doesn't mean that everything is expensive. I prefer to travel out of the town rather than a big city like Osaka. If you have only 1 or 2 days in Osaka, there are ways you can travel cheap/budget.

 First thing you have to do once you step your foot in Osaka is to find the tourist information counter. There are coins locker available in Osaka Station to keep your luggage depends on the locker size. To travel within the city, there are few Day Pass available in Osaka.

 1. One-day ticket Enjoy Eco Card

 This ticket is available for unlimited trams, subways, and buses in Osaka for 1-Day. It costs 800 yen for adults (or 600 yen on weekends and holidays), and 300 yen for children. This ticket also includes discounts for tourist locations within the city.
