Transport in Okayama

If you are travelling and exploring the Kansai west area, this is a must buy! We travelled to Takamatsu from Osaka and the round trip alone on the JR Line would have cost us $120+. With the pass we were able to also go to Kyoto which made it worth it!

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.

My daughter enjoyed the Hello Kitty train, process to get tickets were easy, no clear how to redeem them at station but JR staff is very friendly and willing to help, definitely I recommend Klook for all bookings required in Japan

Claiming of ticket was easy. Just scan the qr code at ticket machine at the station. was able to use the ticket anytime all throughout my 7 days super worth it. thank you!

Highly recommend purchasing this pass for unlimited rides on JR trains and the Shinkansen. I exchanged for mine using a machine in Hiroshima. With this pass, I took trains between Hiroshima, Okayama, Onomichi, Kurashiki, Himeji, Osaka, Kobe, and Takamatsu. I also used the JR ferry to go to Miyajima and Shodoshima. In Okayama, you can ride the streetcar. In the Shikoku area, the ticket vending machines and automatic gates cannot read this pass, so you must go to the counter for manual processing when reserving a reserved seat.

I used the "JR PASS Okayama Hiroshima Yamaguchi" this time. On the first day, I received the PASS at Okayama Station and immediately reserved a seat on the Shinkansen to Hiroshima with extra-large baggage space. I arrived in Hiroshima very quickly. On the second day, I traveled to and from Hakata and got to try the square Ichiran Ramen. On the third day, I took a ferry to Miyajima. On the third and fourth days, I used the PASS to ride the Hiroshima sightseeing bus, enjoying various tourist attractions in Hiroshima. On the fourth day, I took a reserved seat on the Shinkansen back to Okayama. On the fifth day, I went to Kurashiki. This pass saved me a lot of transportation costs, so I highly recommend purchasing it 👍

We used this JR pass to travel to 6 prefectures and we’re able to save a lot! We used this to ride the Huis Ten Bosch and Yufu trains (Yufuin no mori was already sold out) and shinkansen going to Osaka and Hiroshima (from Hakata). Redemption in the JR ticket office was hassle-free. We also reserved seats through the help of the staff. Additionally, we also used the green machines to reserve seats. If you plan your trip strategically, you’d also be able to maximize this pass. Make sure to plan ahead so you’d know which trains to take and which seats to reserve. I’d say this pass was truly a lifesaver and I can’t recommend it enough to those who will be travelling to Kyushu, Chugoku, and Kansai regions.

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
