Question 1

Do I need to print the ticket, or is my phone enough?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket is digital and lives on your phone. However, you must redeem the digital ticket at a designated Keihan redemption point before boarding — you'll receive a physical pass there, and the validity date is printed on that pass.

Question 2

Can I buy two passes and use them on different days?

Accepted Answer

No. If you purchase multiple passes in a single transaction, they activate simultaneously and cannot be used on separate days. Buy them in separate transactions if you need them for different dates.

Question 3

Which attractions does the pass actually get me into?

Accepted Answer

The pass covers unlimited Keihan Railway travel and the Iwashimizu-Hachimangu-Sando Cable Car — it does not include admission to individual sites. Entry to Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu-dera, Osaka Castle and other landmarks is paid separately at each venue.

Question 4

What is the difference between the standard 1-Day Pass and the Kyoto Sightseeing 1-Day Pass?

Accepted Answer

The standard 1-Day Pass covers the full Keihan network between Osaka and Kyoto. The Kyoto Sightseeing 1-Day Pass is designed for a dedicated day in Kyoto, covering the Keihan lines most useful for Kyoto sightseeing. Check the Keihan Railway website for the exact coverage of each option.

Question 5

What does the 1-Day Pass + Hirakata Park option include?

Accepted Answer

This variant bundles the standard 1-Day Pass with admission to Hirakata Park, an amusement park located along the Keihan line — useful if you want to combine city sightseeing with a theme park visit.

Question 6

Where exactly do I redeem the pass, and how long does it take?

Accepted Answer

Yodoyabashi Station in central Osaka is a convenient starting point. Allow a few minutes to exchange your digital ticket for the physical pass before your first journey.
