JR Osaka - Nagoya 'Passe da Área Ise-Kumano-Wakayama

If you land at KIX Airport and want to visit Nachi Falls, this pass is a great value. You can travel from Osaka, loop through Wakayama, then go to Nachi, Kumano Taisha, and Mie. You can then loop back to Osaka or end your trip in Nagoya and continue sightseeing there. This route offers a relaxed travel experience with fewer crowds, perfect for nature lovers and temple enthusiasts.

If I travel back to Japan, I will be booking this JR pass again. I saved a lot of money. I traveled to many different places like Nagoya, Osaka, Nara, Kyoto and vice versa. It is good for visiting UNESCO World Heritage Sites. I visited over 10 sites in 3 days. Also, there is room for making mistakes at any JR station. No need to worry about fare adjustment.

Redeem and use with ease. Plan your trip to make the most of the buses and the four times you can reserve the JR Nanki Limited Express. I visited Kii-Katsuura and explored shrines along the Kumano Kodo (without hiking the entire route), as well as Kawayu Onsen. Conclude your journey by taking the train to Nagoya, as I did, or returning to Osaka.

This is the second time I bought this pass. With the recent JR pass price hike, this pass actually didn't go that high. It's very good value. We love the Kii Peninsula; there are so much rich culture and world heritage sites, so many nice onsens, lovely scenery, and wonderful food. It's still relatively "unspoiled" by over-tourism. Highly recommended.

It's a must-have one-stop pass for those wishing to explore the Osaka-Nagoya-Mie-Wakayama-Osaka circular route. It's incredibly affordable and saves a lot of time. You can enjoy everything from the coastal shoreline views along the Pacific Ocean to the scenic Nachi Falls, and much more. Redemption was also easy. Highly recommended.

Upon arriving at Kansai Airport, we went directly to the JR station to exchange the pass, which was very quick and convenient. We used this pass to visit many places: Kumano, Wakayama, Wakayama City, Shirahama, Shingu, and Osaka. It also covered some bus stops and the Kishi Cat Station, so we didn't need to buy extra tickets – it was definitely worth it! Transportation costs in Japan are not cheap, and some areas have very infrequent train services. Planning your itinerary in advance and using the JR Pass can save a lot of money. However, please note that you need to reserve seats in advance for the Panda Kuroshio train; otherwise, you'll have to buy a ticket on board, which can be a bit expensive 🥹. The scenery in Japan is truly beautiful, and I will definitely buy a JR Pass again next time to explore other prefectures and cities 😸.

このパスは素晴らしい体験でした。引き換えも簡単で、電車とバスの両方が含まれており、広範囲をカバーしています。主要都市以外で日本を体験したい方には訪れる価値があります。

Fácil de reservar, fácil de canjear y un viaje muy cómodo con claras señales de dirección. Muy rentable con grandes ahorros. Muchas gracias por la gran experiencia.

I highly recommend this JR PASS for planning trips to Nagoya, Mie, and Wakayama. This pass fully covers transportation to major attractions in Southern Kii, such as Ise Grand Shrine, Kumano Kodo, Kumano Hongu Taisha, Nachi Taisha, Daimonzaka, and more. However, if you plan to explore more remote attractions in detail, the pass might not cover them. It's best to research and plan your route before using it. Additionally, if you intend to take the Rapid Mie train, it's advisable to reserve a seat in advance. Although there are non-reserved seats, they are limited, and you might have to stand for a while if you don't reserve one (this pass includes 6 free seat reservations).

The pass was amazing, it was easy to use and made our trip memorable! Delivery took time because it was peak season, but still arrived within time frame.
