Our tour guide, Mr. Tiger, was very organized and thoughtful. A day before the tour, he sent me a WhatsApp message with his contact number, photo, and the exact arrival time at the meeting place — which made it so much easier to find him on the day of the tour. Throughout the trip, Tiger shared interesting commentaries about each destination and gave practical tips, like where to eat and what local items to buy. He even went the extra mile by sending restaurant suggestions in Osaka via WhatsApp. All the places we visited on this tour were interesting and truly worth seeing! Time was managed efficiently, and everything went smoothly. I would love to join another tour with Tiger as our guide in the future!

I have visited ten cities in Kansai staying eight nights in Japan. I checked into a hotel near Shin Osaka and took turns to visit cities well connected to the train services in the pass. Osaka, Kobe, Himeji, Okayama, Kurashiki, Takamatsu, Nara, Uji, Kyoto were under my radar. Nothing can be said other than Arigatōgozaimashita.🙏🏻

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.

Very nice place. I didn’t manage to visit it all in one day because it’s very big and temples close around 4-5pm. The cemetery is a very beautiful experience. The price for this pass is very nice at the time of this review!

Exchanged for a 3-day Kansai Railway Pass, it's really convenient. Buying through the app also gets you a discount of 20 or 25 dollars, so it's a great deal. This time I exchanged it at the Limon welcome desk, it was very fast, located opposite the tourist info counter, and there was no one there. The process only required leaving my phone number and scanning a QR code, very convenient and quick. Afterwards, I immediately used the Nankai Electric Railway, but you can't take the Rapid train, you have to pay extra. I took the Express to Namba and it was only 45 minutes, the time difference isn't that significant. The next day I even went to Shimogamo Shrine in Kyoto and Nara, then back to Osaka Namba, super convenient.

Bought this intending to use it for the Nankai Electric Railway line… great for shopping at Rinku Town 🛍️, and you can also take it to Hagoromo, transfer to the JR line towards Otori Station, and walk a few minutes from the exit to reach "Otori Grand Shrine" to buy a transparent Omamori! You can also take the Nankai Electric Railway local train to Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine. Since you don't have to use it for two consecutive days, you can choose the last day of your vacation and go to the outlet for some last-minute shopping before heading back to the airport… Planning to arrange a Wakayama day trip next time! Really great ticket! 👍
