Hi

I will be travelling to Osaka in June for 4 days before going to Tokyo. I have bought the 7-day JR Pass.

I will arrived at Kansai Airport at about 2130 hours. Cna i activate my JR Pass for travel to my hotel?
Which is the shortest possible from Kansai to my hotel?
Will I be able to use the JR Pass for my travel to Kyoto and Nara?

Hi there,

The exchange station at Kansai Airport is open until 5:30-23:00. So you can use the JR to travel to Namba. Using the JR, take the JR rapid bound for Osaka station. Get of an Shin-Imamiya and use a local train to JR-Namba, from there you can walk to the hotel.

The JR Pass also covers travel to Nara and Kyoto.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel San

Thank you for your prompt advise.
Does it mean that I have to change train at Shin imamiya to change train to get to JR Namba?

Hi there,

Yes, that's correct. There is one transfer at Shin-Imamiya.

Hi,

The JR Pass covers the full trip.

No other ticket is required.

Hi Daniel San
How far is the walk from JR Namba to Sunroute Osaka Namba?
Do I need to take a train from JR Namba to nippombashi station which is near the hotel?

Hi again,

I am not sure about the distance but everything in Namba is within walk able distance. I recommend using Google Maps if you want to know the exact route.

Nippombashi is quite a large area but close to Namba. If you find the route beforehand, its no problem to walk. You can also download Google maps to your mobile and navigate that way.

Hi again!

Yes, you can even use the bullet train between Tokyo - Utsunomiya. However the Spacia Nikko limited express from Shinjuku is not covered and requires an additional charge.
