Good day,

We will be on vacation from late September to the second week of October 2025. Our itinerary includes spending one week in Osaka and one week in Tokyo.

While in Osaka, we plan to visit surrounding cities such as Kyoto and Nara, and we also intend to travel to Hiroshima via the Shinkansen line. After spending a week in Osaka, we plan to stop at Mt. Fuji on our way to Tokyo. Subsequently, we will proceed to Tokyo, where we will explore the city.

Could you please advise us on the most suitable pass for our travels? Additionally, can IC cards be used for metro or local transportation in Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Tokyo?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello there,

For your travel around Kansai and Hiroshima, I would highly recommend the Kansai - Hiroshima Area Pass for travel between Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima. It will also include local travel to Nara and on the JR Network in cities like Osaka.

For travel between Tokyo and Kyoto, normal railway tickets will be the best option.

Kind regards,
Daniel
