Is Osaka Metro covered by Osaka Amazing Pass?

The Osaka Amazing Pass is an absolute game-changer for exploring Osaka. Not only does it provide unlimited access to major attractions, but the inclusion of free Osaka Metro rides and a visit to the iconic Ferris Wheel adds an extra layer of excitement.



Yes, the Osaka Metro is fully covered by the Osaka Amazing Pass. This is one of the primary benefits of the pass, as it provides unlimited rides on all Osaka Metro lines (including the Midosuji, Tanimachi, and Chuo lines) as well as all Osaka City Bus routes for the duration of the pass (1-day or 2-day). It is important to note that the pass does not cover JR (Japan Railways) lines or the Nankai Railway line from Kansai Airport. However, it does cover several other private railways within the Osaka city limits, such as the Hankyu, Hanshin, Keihan, and Kintetsu lines (on the 1-day pass only). In 2026, the pass remains the most cost-effective way for tourists to see the city, as it also includes free admission to over 40 top attractions like Osaka Castle and the Umeda Sky Building. For most travelers, the ability to "tap and go" on the subway system without worrying about individual ticket costs makes the Osaka Amazing Pass an essential tool for navigating the city's complex transit network.
