If you come to Osaka and wish to travel to other areas like Nara, Kyoto, etc... then this pass is a Must. We cover Nara, Kyoto, Kobe and even Wakayama for about 1 hour plus ride, it's fun and relaxing. It's worth the price. Thank You.

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.

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.

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.

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.

for the price it’s worth doing, 8 dollars and you get to roams himeji castle foregrounds at night with pretty light illuminations. it’s a very small and quick event, maybe 10-30 minutes maximum if you really take your time. End of the day I was happy to peruse my favourite castle in Japan after its normal closing hours with pretty lights for less money then I would normally spend on gatchapons.

Gary is a superb tour guide. Throughout the tour he shared a lot of information related to the places we were visiting, this gave me an impression that he is very knowledgeable and he cherishes his job as a tour guide. my family and I enjoyed the tour to Himeji Castle, Arima Onsen and Mount Rokku very very much! Thanks again Gary. From Group 12 (tour 28 Nov 2025)

Rina was an incredible guide!! This was our first time having a guided tour in Japan and it was phenomenal. Himeji Castle has such a rich history and so many details that are easily overlooked/not covered in the standard guidebook provided by Himeji. She was a lot of fun to talk to and answered all questions we had. I think if you're also in a time crunch, a guided tour is the way to go because you'll really see the "meat" of Himeji Castle efficiently. I also appreciated that she showed us excellent, uncommon photo spots! The garden tour was fantastic and she told us much about the symbolism of many plants in the garden. Because of Rina, we will definitely be coming back to Himeji!!! I can't thank her enough for such a wonderful experience.
