Fantastic 5.0
Seamless and fastest way to go from Kyoto Station to Osaka Kansai Airport! The initial setting up looks a little overwhelming but once you were able to add your ticket, you can easily select your preferred time and seats. So easy and quick! We’re also happy that we were able to ride the Hello Kitty Haruka back to Kansai. 🥰

Third time buying this pass in 2 years coz it is a really good pass, this time at a 20% discount. Strange though that Klook set a deadline to review this by 25 Dec but I wont be using it til later. This trip, plan to use it for travel thru Nagoya, Yokkaichi, Yunoyamaonsen, Nagashima, Kuwana, Matsusaka, etc

We got the Kansai Railway Pass and it was one of the best decisions for this trip. We were able to visit Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe without worrying about separate tickets or complicated fares. The trains were frequent, easy to follow, and the pass made traveling between each city super hassle-free. It’s a great value, especially if you plan to explore multiple areas in Kansai. Definitely recommending this pass to other travelers.

It's super easy to use today; just use the card and you can redeem it at the automatic machine. Just show the QR code and scan your passport, then select the start date. It's very convenient now and worth it. Just traveling to Hiroshima alone makes it worth it, especially riding the Shinkansen.

Fantastic 5.0
Sanyo Sanin pass was very great and easy to use when traveling in Kanto region. we have used it on our travels all the way from Hiroshima, Himeji and Kobe. Highly recommended it for people who wanted to explore outside of Kyoto and Osaka. Shinkansen was very punctual (unless there are unfortunate events and bad weather conditions). It offered unlimited travel on JR trains, including the shinkansen (except Nozomi/Mizuho), which made moving between cities like Hiroshima, Okayama, and Fukuoka incredibly easy and affordable. I saved a lot compared to buying individual tickets, and the convenience of just hopping on and off trains with a pass was unbeatable.

Fantastic 5.0
Slightly cheaper than buying directly on JR West offices. This pass covers going to Tottori and even Matsue, Izumo, Kurashiki, Okayama. Definitely worth it if you plan to travel far away and uses lots of limited express trains or even the shinkansen

Shui was perfect for us, we can’t fault her. She reached us 10 minutes early, made some suggestions to accommodate our elderly member of the group that everyone still had wonderful time. I would definitely recommend her. Thanks Shui…
