Amanohashidate and Ine day tour was the highlight of my Osaka trip, and using the JR pass in almost all of my train rides in Osaka and the neighboring areas of Kobe and Kyoto was very maximized. I even got to ride the Shinkansen to Himeji using the JR pass.

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.

Hotel Location: Arrived late and the parking lot was full, but the hotel still helped provide two parking spaces. Parking fee is 500/night. Breakfast includes hand-held sushi, which is convenient for guests to grab and go in the morning - a very thoughtful touch.

This is the most comfortable hot spring hotel I've stayed at so far. It even has a private onsen in the room, so if you're worried about being face-to-face with others, you can start here. Dinner is served in the room, the service staff are all so friendly, and the recommended wine was delicious. Overall, a pretty good experience.
