Hi

We are a family of 6 travelling for the first time to Japan in November. Can you please advise which
Pass/passes to purchase for our 12 day trip.

Day1 Arrive at Kansai Airport at 9pm and stay overnight in an airport hotel
Day2 Kyoto
Day3 Kyoto - Arashimaya
Day4 Kyoto
Day5 Kyoto
Day6 Kanazawa to Shirikawago
Day7 Osaka
Day8 Osaka
Day9 Day trip to Nara
Day10 USJ
Day 11 Osaka
Day12 Return to Kansai Airport
Would the 7 day Kansai Hokiruku Pass activated on Day 6 be suitable or a 7 Day JR Pass?
Also, is there another pass that can best cover Kansai Airport to Kyoto and our transportation while iin Kyoto?

Many thanks for your help.

Regards
MQ

Hi there,

I think your best option is to look at a Kansai Hokuriku Pass. You don't do a enough travel for a JR Pass to help you make savings.

Local travel around Kyoto is not expensive and generally buying day tickets for the bus of metro is a good idea.

For arrival at Kansai Airport, I recommend a Haruka + ICOCA package:

Hope you find this useful,
