Hi
I am travel to Japan Osaka -Kyoto area for 7 days ,i am very confuse with all the pass provided in the market especially all the card have it limitation, hence I intend to buy icoca card which can use in JR, subway and the bus.
I had brought Kansai area 3 day pass to cover D1 air port transfer and other long distance travel, hence I cannot purchase icoca + Haruka round trip ticket from Kansai air port. I have to purchase icoca and 1 way haruka pass from Osaka Station .
My question is when is the 1 way haruka pass activated ? is it on the day of purchase (for my case day 7 of stay) or like HK Octopus card ,it only activated upon usage ? As my return flight is in the morning ,so I prefer I can use this icoca card from day 4 onward.
Thanks
Chrismile
