Hankyu Tourist Pass

The Hankyu One-Day Pass is more convenient as an e-ticket, eliminating the need to exchange it for a physical ticket at a station office. However, using the QR code can be a bit slow; you have to connect to the internet first, then navigate through two or three screens to display the QR code. Plus, the QR code is only valid for 60 seconds, so if you activate it too early, you'll have to reload it when you get to the turnstile. The one-day pass is very practical. This time, I went to the Tezuka Osamu Manga Museum in Takarazuka, then to Nakayama-dera Temple. In the afternoon, I went to Kobe for Kobe beef, visited the Kitano Ijinkan-gai (Foreigner's Residences), Nanjing Street, and Kobe Port, then returned to Osaka in the evening. It was a packed itinerary.

It's very convenient. Show the QR code at the Hankyu Tourist Info. Center counter at Osaka-Umeda Station (08:00 - 17:00) and show your passport to get a 1 Day pass card to use. You may have to allow a little time to walk around and find a counter. You can use it to ride the train that has the theme of Kyoto Japanese Garden.

The Hankyu Tourist Pass is a very affordable and worthwhile option to book if you're visiting Osaka and Kyoto. Make sure you plan your trips ahead of time due to the specific stations where the trains stop. In our case, we made use of the pass while we were exploring Kyoto during the Sakura season: - Kyoto-Kawaramachi Station - Close to Nishiki Market (restaurants, cosmetics, thrift stores, and anime figures). - Arashiyama Station - This is closer to the Togetsu-Kyo Bridge and Riverside Park. We relaxed at the park, then we walked north along the bridge to get to Arashiyama proper. From there, we went to the Kameyama Area, Bamboo Forest, and Tenryu-ji Temple. - Osaka-Umeda - We rode the main Hankyu Line going back to Osaka. The Hankyu Umeda Station is near shopping areas like Hep Five.

A really affordable way to travel between Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe. I used it one day to travel to Kobe from Osaka to go up Mount Rokko, the second day I used it to travel to Kyoto from Osaka, to go to Aarashiyama.

There are two location where exchange hankyu pass is possible. One in umeda Kankyu station tourist inforation centre another on in kyoto kawaramachi station. But this kind of pass seem a;ready transformed into a hankyu plus hanshin pass.

Buying a 2-day pass for all Hankyu lines is absolutely great value. You can travel to famous attractions in Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe easily and conveniently. You only need to use the QR code and your passport with a valid visa stamp at the Hankyu Tourist Information Center to redeem your train ticket, but you must redeem it yourself and cannot collect it on your behalf.

If you are planning to go to kyoto and nara this pass will be very convenient for you as you can access those places using this pass.

At the exchange it was confusing, walking around many times. Located in osaka-umeda. If on Saturday and Sunday there is a beautiful train running to Kyoto or Kobe, you don't have to make a reservation but you should wait because there are a lot of people.

This pass was perfect for traveling from Kobe to Kyoto, but it only covers that one line. To get my money's worth, I made sure to get off at two stations on the way from Kyoto to Osaka to see a shrine and have dinner. Overall, it was still very convenient.

used this for my day trip to Kobe. easy to use and very convinieny. hanky tourist center is easy to find.
