Transporte em Prefeitura de Hyogo

Since it was my first time in Osaka, I didn't do any preparation and got a little lost trying to find my way. I had some trouble finding my ticket because I brought a paper one instead of using a QR code. I scanned the QR code at the ticket machine, issued the ticket, selected my seats, and received two physical tickets. There's also a counter right next to it where you can get an Icoca card, so minors or those without Apple Pay can handle both at once. They'll issue an Icoca card for 2000 yen.

If you're planning to explore the Northern Kansai region, this pass is a must-buy. There are no additional charges for any reserved seats. We used this single pass for our trips to Maizuru, Amanohashidate, Fukuchiyama, Yumura Onsen, Kinosaki Onsen, and Kobe, before returning to Osaka! It's incredibly cost-effective for a two-day trip to Amanohashidate and its surroundings! Price: Excellent value for money. Included transportation services: The two-day pass for Amanohashidate covers all train, boat, and cable car fees for a short period, allowing you to save time and fully explore Amanohashidate. Pass applicability: Usable throughout Northern Kansai, though you might not be able to visit everything. Redemption instructions: You can exchange the pass and reserve seats directly at the JR station in Kansai Airport, where Chinese-speaking staff are available. Service starts at 5:30 AM! Seat reservation process: You can reserve reserved seats directly at JR station automatic ticket machines or by speaking to staff at JR ticket counters.

We used the Kansai Area Pass (3-Day) for our trip, and it was incredibly convenient and offered amazing value for money! The redemption process was super easy—we just took our e-voucher to the JR West ticket machines in front of Kyoto Station, scanned our passports, and the machine printed our main pass along with vouchers to exchange for Kyoto Subway and 2 other private railway day passes (which are awesome free bonuses included with this pass!). We fully utilized this pass over the 3 days with a fantastic itinerary: Day 1: Traveled around the beautiful Lake Biwa area. Day 2: Explored Kyoto using the complimentary private railway/subway passes, then took a limited express train to Shin-Osaka where we stayed. Day 3: Traveled out to Rokkomichi Station in Kobe to ride the Rokko Cable and enjoy the stunning night view of Kobe Bay (note: the cable car ticket itself is purchased separately). Finally, we used the pass to reserve seats on the Haruka to Kansai International Airport.

This is a cost-effective ticket because the normal one-way train fare from Kansai Airport (express train, not limited express) already exceeds the average daily price of the pass. Price: Good Coverage Area: Suitable for general travel, not in-depth.

The Kansai–Hiroshima Pass is definitely worth it. It includes the sightseeing bus that lets you hop on and off at Hiroshima's major attractions, which saved me both time and money while exploring the city. I do feel that one day isn't enough to fully experience Hiroshima, as there are many more places worth visiting. The pass also offers excellent value because it can be used on JR lines to travel to other destinations within its coverage

This helped me a lot to go to all the places I've been to in the Kansai area. Since I am new to how the train system works in Japan, I tend to get lost, and with this pass, I never have to worry about spending extra for transportation if I end up in the wrong station, as this is unlimited.

1. Please confirm the applicable scope of the pass. Some attractions, such as the Miyajima ferry, require an additional tax. 2. If you have enough stamina, this is definitely an excellent choice for a San'in-Sanyo trip, as you can reserve seats an unlimited number of times (the machine can only reserve same-day seats and only 6 times). Therefore, it is recommended to plan your travel itinerary and have the service center staff help you book all transportation after the current day, which will save a lot of time. 3. It is recommended to learn how to take local buses, as transportation in some Sanyo areas is not well-developed and requires combining luggage storage and buses. 4. If you have large luggage, be sure to store it or drop it off at your hotel first to avoid being refused boarding or delaying others. 5. Stamina is key to making the most of this pass. Wishing everyone good health and a pleasant trip!

Perfect for travelers using the Sanyo Shinkansen. The pass covers the Sanyo Shinkansen between Shin-Osaka and Hakata. Please note: Kokura and Mojiko are already within the JR Shikoku area, and this pass cannot be used for trains below limited express. Price: Still 22,000 yen.

Este pase realmente valió la pena. Ahorré mucho, incluso si solo lo usé durante 4 días por la zona de Kyushu, luego el tren bala a Osaka y finalmente para llegar a Universal Studios Japan. Canjearlo fue bastante fácil. Lo canjeé en la estación de Hakata y la fila no era muy larga. A pesar de que era casi la hora de cierre, me atendieron y hasta me ayudaron a reservar boletos con anticipación. Pude reservar asientos en el Two Stars 4047, que fue uno de los mejores trenes turísticos que experimenté. ¡Planeo volver a Kyushu y definitivamente lo usaré de nuevo!
