kansai thru pass covers wide areas in Osaka and Kyoto. redeemed ours at Sugi Drugstore in Namba. for first time use, ask the rail attendant if it can be used in the train you are about to ride on. same with buses. easy
it is very useful and easy to redeem. i was confused at first at train station from kansai on how and where to use it, but yes, it’s usable everywhere! it includes the kansai thru pass when i purchased it. great even for a solo traveler like me!
There are two places to exchange IC CARD and KTP. KTP is at KIX tourist information, and IC card is diagonally opposite. Klook has instructions. Although there are many people queuing up, the tourist center is efficient. The free IC card of 1,500 yen can be taken to the city. Okay, KTP gives you discount coupons and you have to select the date of use when registering. You can get more discounts, but I don’t have time to look at them. I just asked about each stop. I don’t know if it is possible without registering. The general itinerary is the same as Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe. The horse hot spring is far away from Kobe, and then it is even further to go to the outlet. Going to the outlet from Arima requires IC CARD at your own expense. The outlet is worth going to, and it is good for Arima, but the deer in Nara Deer Park eat fruits but not cakes, and there are no deer. Plum blossom point, but shopping is cheaper.
Easy to use and top up, especially using iphone. At the end of the day I transfer it to my Apple travel wallet. And just realise that if u are using iphone u can just find this card in travel wallet. If non iphone, then just buy la this card, no hassle
Highly recommended, except for the fact that we had to wait 50 minutes for collection because the booth was manned by only one person and he headed out for lunch from 1pm to 2pm (see 2nd photo; not stated in collection voucher). Experienced this so you don’t have to :’)
The Kansai Amazing Pass is really convenient and saves transportation costs. I rely on it to take the subway in Kyoto to Nara and Uji. It can also take the buses between Nara and Uji for free. Plus, it can take the Nankai Electric Railway, so I never have to worry about it. When arriving at the airport, you can go directly to Kansai Airport by Nankai Electric Railway without buying another transportation ticket. The Kansai 3-day travel pass can be used without consecutive rides, so I use the ICOCA card for other short distances and days when I don’t need to keep transferring. And ICOCA, like the EasyCard, can be used when buying things at convenience stores, so it’s very convenient.
I love it! Super easy to redeem. Basically Icoca is a prepaid smart card where you can use it anywhere, not only for travelling. Thank you klooks for making our travel easy. Good Purchase♥️
It was a DIY itinerary and it’s very useful to use if it’s your first time which I do not have any regrets from using it!
It was an easy peasy transaction in klook. Great way to get around Japan and buy in convenient stores. I love it!
use IC card (icoca) to travel by train/subway/JR train station. Buying products in convenience store and pay for locker storage.
