Hi!
About the Kansai Wide Pass. Is it valid already when traveling from Kiikatsuura to Kyoto? And if it is, is it easy find JR-train for that track? We have planned to take LTD Exp Kuroshio 20 when leaving Kiikatsura morning of 9th of March and then getting in Shin-Osaka Shinkanzen Nozomi 30 train to get to Kyoto. Are those trains Jr-trains and covered by the Kansai Wide Pass?
Thank you!
Minna
Hi there,
Yes, this route is included. You can use the Kuroshio to Shin-Osaka, the Shinkansen is not included to Kyoto but you can use the JR Special Rapid service instead. These are almost as fast as the Shinkansen between Osaka and Kyoto.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
