In addition to free entry to 28 places, you can use subway with both of the passes, and with the 1-day pass, also private railway companies’ trains! Here are the top 5 attractions we picked up. If bought separately without the pass, the admission tickets would cost as much as 4400 yen!

2. Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel (800 yen)
Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel was once the highest ferris wheel in the world. By now, it has been surpassed by others, but that does not change the fact that the 17-minute ride on this 112.5 metre high ferris wheel is quite an experience. Also, you don’t have to check out the weather forecast for the next day if you ride this ferris wheel. If the next day will be sunny, the wheel will have orange lights, if rainy, the lights will turn blue!
