The Taoyuan Airport MRT is about to celebrate its first anniversary, and the Taoyuan Rapid Transit Corporation has recently partnered with Japanese entities to launch the limited-edition "Travel Taiwan Osaka Pass" commemorative ticket set. This pass allows travelers to use it on the Taoyuan Airport MRT to reach Taipei Station, and when traveling to Osaka, they can also use the same pass to ride the Nankai Electric Railway section from Kansai Airport to Namba. This marks the first collaboration with a Japanese railway company, further promoting international exchange and tourism.

To boost tourism between Taiwan and Japan, four companies — the Taoyuan Airport MRT, Taoyuan International Airport, Kansai Airport, and Nankai Electric Railway — have joined forces to launch 3,000 sets of the limited-edition "Travel Taiwan Osaka Pass" commemorative ticket set, directly connecting Taoyuan and the Kansai region for a seamless travel experience.

In collaboration with Japan’s Nankai Electric Railway, the pass is not only available to travelers from Taiwan, but also to those coming from Japan to Taiwan — it can be purchased or redeemed at Nankai Namba Station’s 2F Service Center, Nankai Namba Station’s 3F Express Ticket Window, Shin-Imamiya Station, Tennouji Station, and Kansai Airport Station, greatly enhancing convenience for travelers from both countries. Whether traveling from Taiwan or the Kansai region, passengers have the opportunity to purchase and use this pass.
