Doprava v Nara Prefecture

Keďže som bol v Osake prvýkrát a nič som si vopred nepripravil, trochu som blúdil pri hľadaní cesty. Trochu som sa potrápil s hľadaním lístka, pretože som ho nemal v QR kóde, ale v papierovej forme. Naskenoval som QR kód v automate na lístky, vydal si lístok a vybral si miesto, pričom som dostal dva fyzické lístky. Hneď vedľa je aj prepážka, kde si môžete vybaviť kartu ICOCA, takže ak ste neplnoletí alebo nemáte Apple Pay, môžete si to vybaviť naraz. Za 2000 jenov vám vydajú kartu ICOCA.

"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.

5-dňový preukaz Kintetsu sa mi úplne oplatil, keďže som sa presúval z Osaky do Kjóta, potom do Nary a späť do Osaky. Tento preukaz mi umožnil neobmedzené cestovanie vlakom a poskytol mi úžasné zážitky v Japonsku, najmä počas jarnej sezóny. Trochu som sa obával digitálneho preukazu s QR kódom (nedá sa uložiť snímka obrazovky na vstup, QR kód sa po 5 minútach obnoví), ale pokiaľ máte stabilné internetové pripojenie, bude to v poriadku. Pred kúpou si prosím pozorne prečítajte pokyny, aby ste sa s ním oboznámili. V mojom prípade som 5-dňový preukaz nepoužil hneď; najprv som po pristátí v Osake vyskúšal miestny vlak pomocou karty ICOCA, používal som ho 2 dni, potom som sa zoznámil s vlakovými trasami a až potom som ho začal používať na tretí deň. Odporúčam 🫶

JR Kansai-Hiroshima Area Pass sa naozaj oplatí. Môžete ho použiť na expresný vlak Haruka a Shinkansen s rezervovanými miestami z letiska až do Hirošimy. Môžete ním cestovať koľkokrát chcete, naozaj sa to oplatí. Ak si spočítate cenu, je to viac ako cena pasu, ktorý ste zaplatili. Odporúčam ho každému, kto plánuje cestovať po tejto trase, tento pas sa určite oplatí.

This helped me a lot to go to all the places I've been to in 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 transpo 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 assist you with booking all transportation for the current day and beyond, which will save a lot of time. 3. It is advisable to learn how to take local buses, as transportation in some Sanyo areas is not well-developed and requires a combination of 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!

We bought the 7 days rail pass for Kansai Hokuriku area. When we arrive at Kansai Airport, we used this pass to take a train from osaka airport to fukui . Of course you have to change train a few times but it is manageable for us even though we had three big luggage. We also took shinkansen from Fukui to Toyama and shin osaka to okayama. If you travel s lot within these 7 days, this pass is for you.however, if for only one trip, it is not worth it..

This was the fastest transport for me to reach Osaka. There were staff making sure that you board the right train. Seat reservation is needed but it’s very easy to purchase.

I exchanged my physical voucher at Okayama Station, which was very convenient. Since there's no limit to the number of times you can reserve seats with this voucher, I almost always took reserved seats. Okayama - Yonago - Sakaiminato - Izumo - Tottori - Kobe. Highly recommended.
