Transporte em Prefeitura de Nara

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.

このパスは最高でした。移動にとても便利で、使い勝手も抜群でした。唯一の難点は、1つのアカウントに複数のQRコードを紐付けると、別の人へ切り替えるのに時間がかかることくらいです。

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 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.

On my return trip to Osaka, I once again purchased the Kansai Thru Pass 3-day ticket. This time, I visited Maiko Park in Kobe to see the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge. I also spent a day each in Uji (a World Heritage site), Kyoto, and Nara. For the return journey from Nara, there are also limited express trains back to Nihonbashi or Namba Station.

With this JR Pass, I traveled to multiple places like Hiroshima, Okayama, Takamatsu, Kobe, and Osaka within 7 days, which was incredibly cost-effective!!! Included transportation services: Shinkansen Pass coverage area: Northern Kyushu, Chugoku, Kansai

We bought the 7-day rail pass for the Kansai-Hokuriku area. When we arrived at Kansai Airport, we used this pass to take a train from Osaka Airport to Fukui. Of course, you have to change trains a few times, but it was manageable for us even though we had three large pieces of luggage. We also took the Shinkansen from Fukui to Toyama and from Shin-Osaka to Okayama. If you travel a lot within these 7 days, this pass is for you. However, if it's only for one trip, it's not worth it.

This was the fastest way for me to get to Osaka. There were staff making sure that you boarded the correct train. Seat reservations are required, but they are very easy to purchase.

A great saving even though it has been more expensive since late. it made my trip easier and more cost efficient. my plan did align with the usage also so that made it possible. if you are sure on your plans then you should go for it
