Hi ! Would like to check with you on few inquiry:


1) How's my iltenary? Is the schedule too pack?
2) Can I use ''Osaka Unlimited Pass'' from KIX-Namba station via Nankai line on the 1st day?
3) There will be 2 of us in this budget trip. We plan to spend less than USD1300/each of us

(excluding accommodation). Will it be enough?

Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks ! :)

Too packed. If you want to see lots of attractions, I'd say you should allow a minimum of one hour for each (depends on the type of attraction and your interests), and take into account time to move between them and food breaks. I haven't looked up all the places in your list to see how far apart they are, but at a rough estimate, about half what you have there. Though there's nothing wrong with having a long list -- I did the same -- if you go with the expectation that you won't make them all, you have an idea which ones are the most important to you, and the others are just "if time permits" or "if I change my mind on the day".

Thanks !

we would consider on your suggestion

By the way, I was wondering if we could use ''Osaka Unlimited Pass'' from KIX-Namba station via Nankai line on the 1st day?

We want to utilize the ticket benefit if possible.

Another question, will USD 1300 be enough for us in this whole trip?

including food,admission fees,transportation
excluding accomodation

Looking forward to your reply. :)

1300 dollar per person ought to be enough.

I am using 1700 per person for 14 days. And I'll have it royal. Though, I have Euros.
But still, 1300 dollar will be more than plenty.

Aoi Nimami/Carlove,

Great thanks to your valuable info.

We're looking forward on great trip

For the Nankai line (KIX airport-Namba station), can we use ''Osaka Unlimited Pass''?

I seen a few forum that the pass is not valid. Would like to confirm on this


Thanks !

I read that the Unlimited pass covers the Nankai line.

But if you're only going to use it to go to Namba then why not buy a ticket? Since it's cheaper.

By Nankai Railways

"Rapid" limited express trains (tokkyu) take 30 minutes and cost 1390 yen (all reserved) from Kansai Airport to Namba Station, while express trains (kyuko) do the same trip in 45 minutes and for 890 yen.

Yes if it's cover for 1 way from KIX-Namba

I plan to utilize the pass as we'll be travelling around Osaka for 3D2N & it covers most of the railway & subway around Osaka region

By the way, that's very nice of you for sharing the valuable info here

Thanks Carlove !
