Affiliate Disclosure
This site — the Osaka city guide you are reading — earns from some of the links on it. Nothing you pay changes because of that, and the rules below are the whole of it.
Which links earn
GetYourGuide. Every tour and ticket card on this site links to GetYourGuide, and a booking made through one pays this site a commission. Prices, ratings, review counts and durations on the cards are the platform's own numbers, read on the date the card states.
Stay22. The where-to-stay and neighbourhood pages link to hotel searches for each area through Stay22, which routes the click to Booking.com or another booking site. A stay booked after one of those clicks may pay a commission.
That is the complete list. There is no Tiqets, Klook or Viator link on this site, no sponsored placement, and no paid inclusion: an operator cannot buy a card, a position or a sentence here.
Which links never earn
Official ticket offices. Osaka Castle, Universal Studios Japan, Kaiyukan, the Umeda Sky Building observatory, Abeno Harukas 300, Tsutenkaku, teamLab, the museums, the Osaka Amazing Pass and every railway operator are linked plainly, with no tracking of any kind, and the official row is the first row of every ticket table on this site. On several pages here the official shop is also the cheaper option, and the page says so.
Official information sources. Osaka City, the Osaka Convention and Tourism Bureau, the Japan Meteorological Agency and the transport operators are cited as sources, never as partners.
What it does not buy
A commission does not change a price, a ranking or a verdict. Where the honest answer is buy at the counter, walk, or skip the pass, that is what the page says — the arithmetic on the Osaka Amazing Pass page ends in a threshold, not a recommendation to buy.
If you would rather this site earned nothing from your trip, use the official links: they are on every ticket page, unmarked and untracked.
