Transport in Wakayama

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.

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!

The JR Pass is excellent value! We only waited about 5 minutes in line at the Kansai Airport counter, and the staff immediately helped us reserve seats on the Haruka train. From queuing to boarding, it took just 15 minutes in total. It's fantastic to have unlimited rides on the Hello Kitty Shinkansen and trips to Hiroshima included. For a 5-day pass focused on the Kansai area, it offers extremely high value. The only downside is that it doesn't cover Nozomi or Mizuho Shinkansen services between Kyoto and Osaka/Shin-Osaka. However, the Thunderbird limited express train that operates on the same route is also very comfortable and pleasant."

This is my second time getting this pass and I would always get this for my Kansai itnerary. It is very convenient to have especially when multiple companies are operating different set of train lines. Also, its coverage so vast so that you can basically do unlimited variation of your itineraries.

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! 👍

convenient to pick up and exchange the voucher for the ticket. managed to visit many and most of the famous spots around this area with this pass.
