Hi,
I am traveling to Osaka in April. Is it best to have a JR Pass when traveling from Osaka to Koyasan or can I use general trains for a day trip? Also would I need a JR from Kyoto to Shiga? I am just wondering if I need a JR Pass and can I do these trips without one? Thanks

Hi there,

Osaka - Koya-san is traveled on the Nankai railway. This is a 3rd sector railway and not included in the JR Pass.

Shiga can be done by JR. However you'd need more travel for a JR Pass to help you make savings.
