Hello,
I've been studying on the various rail passes (JR, Kintetsu, Kansai Thru) but I can't figure out which one is best for my itinerary. I'm planning to do the following:
Day 1: Arrive Kansai Int Airport and transfer to Osaka or Kyoto
Day 2: Sightseeing Kyoto (local transport only)
Day 3: Sightseeing Kyoto (local transport only)
Day 4: Kyoto to Nara, Nara to Mt Koya (sleep at Mt Koya)
Day 5: Mt Koya to Kii-Tanabe (by train or by bus?)
Day 6: Kii-Tanabe to Takijiri-Oji by bus (start Kumano Kodo hike)
Day 7: - (hiking)
Day 8: Kii-Tanabe or Shingu back to Kyoto
Could you maybe give me some advise on whether I should buy a JR Kansai railpas or maybe a Kansai Thru pass or would it be better to buy all tickets separately? Or maybe a combination of passes?
I know it's a bit of a complicated itinerary but any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Domingo
