Hi update. I was able to buy OA pass at the station with no problem. However, I was refused the Hanshin and Rokkosan at ic Camera Namba due to my student visa status. If I fail to obtain the passes, how do you suppose I go about going to Rokko snow park and Kobe in general?

Hi Aisha,

I have no idea about the student visa.

regarding where to pick up, the place where all the passes you mentioned are available is Hankyu Tourist Center Osaka-Umeda. There are many others, but that’s what’s in common to all of them. For other places, you can check out each card’s official pages. They usually have a list.

Hi,

I’m looking at your 5D5N itinerary. So I will be coming from Tokyo to Umeda through night bus and I’m not going through KIX, where can I buy or pickup the passes (Hanshin Tourist, Rokkosan Tourist, Osaka Amazing, Kansai Thru) in person if not through Klook or KIX?

The restriction of the passes says short stay visa, my visa is student and valid for one year. I’m from the Philippines but I’m here in Japan for exchange for only 4 months. Would there be issues on purchasing the passes?

Looking forward to your kind response. Thank you.

Hi Leona,

That should be 9:30am. Then the “hotel check in” should not be there at all.

Thanks for spotting! Great catch. Will update these.
