Easy to use- just show the QR code and they know how to process it. We went on the Uradome Boat tour, went to the Sand Museum, and ate dinner at Takumi Kappo. Great deal!

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!

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.
