Kintetsu Rail Pass

This pass is ideal for traveling to Nara, offering free train and bus travel within the city. (1) This online pass should be activated on the day of travel and can be used starting from Namba Station, where you can find the Kintetsu Line. (2) To activate, click on the voucher and select "start using." (3) Check the train schedule and choose a Limited Express train bound for Kintetsu-Nara. This pass does not include advance seat reservations. (4) Upon arrival at the destination station, exit via the East Exit and walk along Noborioji-cho Road towards Nara Park, or take the Nara Kotsu bus from in front of the station to the Todaiji Daibutsuden/Kasugataisha-mae stop. - I personally walked to see the deer park and Todaiji Temple on the way there, and took the bus back to the station. (5) You can visit Todaiji Temple (Great Buddha), but there is an entrance fee for the temple interior. (6) This pass can also be used to ride the Cable Car to enjoy the atmosphere at the mountaintop amusement park. From Nara Station, take the train back to Ikoma Station. Upon exiting the station, turn left and you will see the Cable Car sign. Once there, you will see a "Welcome" sign. You can show the QR code to the staff and take two cable car rides. Unfortunately, this pass cannot be used for the amusement park rides, but it is still considered good value.

I just discovered this through a good friend. The pass was so worth it for the price and number of days. Technically, I just used this for 3 days and I was able to go to Toba, Ise, Iga, and Kyoto. I maximized the perks of this pass. However, this can also be used starting in Osaka.

It's very convenient to purchase and easy to use, but you need internet access to activate tickets and enter/exit stations. Additionally, this pass does not include limited express trains; if you need to take a limited express train, you must purchase a separate reserved seat ticket. Kintetsu trains are quite comfortable, especially the sightseeing limited express trains, which are a must-ride. Not only are the train's exterior and interior beautiful, but you can also purchase meals to enjoy, making it a wonderful travel experience.

Kintetsu 5-Tage-Pass hat sich total gelohnt, da ich von Osaka nach Kyoto, dann nach Nara und wieder nach Osaka gerefahren bin. Dieser Pass ermöglichte unbegrenzte Zugfahrten und bescherte mir wundervolle Erlebnisse in Japan, besonders während der Frühlingszeit. Ich war etwas besorgt wegen des digitalen Passes, der ein QR-Code ist (man kann keinen Screenshot zum Einlass verwenden, der QR-Code lädt sich nach 5 Minuten neu), aber solange man stabiles Internet hat, ist es in Ordnung. Bitte lesen Sie die Anweisungen vor dem Kauf sorgfältig durch, damit Sie sich damit vertraut machen können. In meinem Fall habe ich den 5-Tage-Pass nicht sofort benutzt. Zuerst habe ich versucht, den lokalen Zug mit ICOCA zu nutzen, sobald ich in Osaka gelandet bin, und habe ihn dann 2 Tage lang benutzt, um die Zugstrecken kennenzulernen, und dann habe ich ihn an meinem 3. Tag benutzt. Empfehlenswert 🫶

Estábamos basados en Nagoya y el Kintetsu Rail Pass fue una de las mejores decisiones que tomamos para nuestro viaje. Nos dio viajes ilimitados en trenes y autobuses Kintetsu, lo que hizo que visitar múltiples destinos fuera muy fácil y rentable. Con el pase, fuimos a Nara, el Acuario de Toba, Ise y Nabana no Sato sin preocuparnos por comprar boletos separados cada vez. También cubría los autobuses locales, lo que nos ahorró aún más. La comodidad de simplemente subir y bajar sin hacer fila para los boletos fue una gran ventaja, y definitivamente se amortizó después de solo un par de viajes. Si planeas explorar áreas alrededor de Nagoya, especialmente en las prefecturas de Mie y Nara, este pase es de gran valor. ¡Lo recomendamos encarecidamente!

It was so easy to use! I bought 4 tickets and QR codes were issued at the time of use. Just proceed to the designated QR lane and scan for each person riding. The QR refreshes every 5 minutes. Namba-Kyoto-Nara-Namba!

Most valued pass! I noticed that the difference is around ¥1,000 without the pass. Nara Park (the deer park) is just across Kintetsu-Nara Station. My trip from Osaka Namba was around an hour, taking the rapid express for fewer stops. The plus point is riding the cable car (tram) to Ikomasanjo Amusement Park. I had my lunch there enjoying the view. Make sure to have internet and phone battery to scan the train pass because you can't screenshot the QR code.

Utilisé pour Kyoto, Nara et Nagoya ou vice versa. Cela en valait la peine. Au lieu d'acheter un seul billet, ayez ce pass à la place.

It's very convenient to book the Kintetsu Rail Pass for Japan's Kansai region online. I purchased the one-day pass, mainly for taking the Kintetsu train between Osaka and Nara, and for using buses and Kintetsu trains within Nara city. In Nara, besides feeding deer, we also visited various temples. Each time, we just needed to show the QR code to enjoy unlimited rides on Kintetsu trains and buses, which was extremely convenient.

We saved a lot with this pass. We were able to visit Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Mie, and Nagoya in 5 days! It’s worth the trip. It’s also very easy to use.
