How to Purchase Train Tickets in Japan

  1. Automatic ticket machines can be found near most ticket gates at every station.
  2. Use the nearby fare table or fare map (which is often color-coded to show different lines) to locate your destination name and its ticket price.
  3. Press the “English” button on the ticket machine to receive instructions in English.
  4. From there, you can choose to purchase a ticket and select the ticket price that corresponds with your destination.
  5. If you are purchasing multiple tickets, use the buttons with adult and child labels to indicate the type you need.
  6. Pay by inserting Japanese bills or coins and proceed to the ticket gate when finished.

Getting a Prepaid IC Card

  1. If you plan to travel primarily by train or subway during your visit, consider getting a rechargeable, prepaid IC card (such as ICOCA or Suica), which minimizes the need for purchasing paper tickets at each stop, including transfer tickets.
  2. Look for the specially labeled ticket machines or visit a ticket counter at any major train station to buy your IC card. A standard IC card usually costs around ¥2,000, which includes a ready-to-use fund of ¥1,500 and a ¥500 deposit that can be refunded upon returning the IC card to a ticket counter at the end of your trip.
  3. If you run out of funds, ticket machines offer the option to reload IC cards with an amount of your choice.
  4. To use, simply tap your loaded IC card on the reader pad of the ticket gate to enter and exit a platform. The appropriate fare amount will be automatically deducted.
  5. IC cards can also be used to make purchases at shops, restaurants, and vending machines where applicable.

Unique Points of Interest in Osaka

Universal CityWalk
The path leading up to Universal Studios Japan is perpetually abuzz with jubilant park goers and high-spirited street performers, giving it an undeniably euphoric ambience that builds in excitement as you inch closer to the front gates. Universal CityWalk boasts over 50 shops and eateries that are in easy walking distance from the property whether your group wants to grab a bite to eat or search for gifts and souvenirs.
1-minute walk
Osaka Takoyaki Museum
Perhaps one of the tastiest street food creations to come out of Osaka, takoyaki is a must-try when in town. These savory little balls of fried batter come with a succulent piece of broiled octopus at its center and a nearly unlimited amount of toppings to choose from. Located in Universal CityWalk, stop by Osaka Takoyaki Museum to learn about the snack’s origins and taste-test different flavors from some of the city’s most famous vendors.
1-minute walk
Shinsekai: Osaka’s Retro Food Heaven
Keeping its quirky sense of nostalgia from the early 1900s, Shinsekai has remained largely untouched to this day. Complemented by the Eiffel-inspired Tsutenkaku Tower and floating pufferfish ornaments, the old-school atmosphere is a strangely fitting backdrop for enjoying a cold beer and kushikatsu, one of Osaka’s best-known specialties featuring meat, fish, and vegetables skewers that have been battered and deep fried to achieve that perfect, crispy bite.
30 minutes by train
Dotonbori: Entertainment & Nightlife Central
Drenched in digital billboard lights, including the iconic Glico Running Man sign, Dotonbori is the defining tourist destination of Osaka. Like New York City’s Times Square, the flashy signage found along the Dotonbori River is best seen at night when the glowing colors bounce off the water and bring the area to life. Countless shops, restaurants, and bars line the winding alleyways, promising an unforgettable night out.
