Getting around Osaka

What's the difference between Osaka and Japan?
Plenty of things! But the greatest of all is their no fuss, super practical subway!
Every where I go, I like to look for tourist passes that are value for money. In Osaka, they call it the Enjoy Eco card that looks like this: 


This card can be used on all of Osaka's Municipal Subway, new tram and buses. There are also discounts available at certain sight seeing locations when you flash this card. 
Price: 800 yen adult (600 yen for weekends and public holidays), 300 yen for children

You can buy these Tourist passes at any subway station, I bought mine at Shin-Osaka station which was my stop off the Shinkansen train. You can even buy them days in advance, just let them know the date you're going to use it on.

There are a lot of other passes out here. You can find more about it here. But for me, I went for the cheapest option having only spent 3 days in Osaka. 

You can get more info on Osaka's Public transport passes here.
