Hi!

We are coming to Tokyo the 4th of March and take train from the Narita airport to Tokyo. Then the 7th of March we are traveling by morning train from Tokyo to Kii-Katsura (changing train in Nagoya to the Limited Express Nanki at 12:58).
Then on Saturday the 9th we'll take the 10.45 train connection from Kii-Katsura to Kioto ( Kii-Katsuura to Shin-Osaka Station to Yamashina Station to finaly to Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station).
Then on Tuesday the 12th we take the train from Kyoto to Osaka. On Wednesday the 13th we take the train from Osaka to visit Himeij and possible make a stop-over in Kobe. Our last train is from Osaka to the Kansai airport on 14th of March.

Our question is, is the 7 day Japan Rail Pass starting 7th of March our best option and do we have to pay any extra on our route during those days the Pass is valid?

Thank you so much for the advice !

Hi there,

I checked your itinerary but could not really find a pass that would match all your travel and help you make savings at the same time. Instead, you may want to look at regional passes, for instance, a Kansai Wide Pass would be a great fit for travel from Kii-katsura to other places in Kansai, including Himeji. Then buy a normal ticket for travel from Tokyo.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel!

Thank you for the advice. Could you also tell is it easy to find JR-train when traveling from Kiikatsuura to Kyoto? 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
