Really confused - Is it worth getting? And how?

and to add to Osaka,

would like to visit Kuromon Market, Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori

Hello there,

The Japanese address system is really complicated so we could not include it in the JR Map. However it's easy to just look by place name or station name.

The Shinkansen station for Kyoto is simply Kyoto station. You could either take the Shinkansen from Tokyo or Shinagawa station, there difference in travel time is small.

Yes you can use the JR Pass to travel to Kansai Airport, take the train from JR-Namba to Shin-Imamiya and from there the JR rapid airport express to Kansai Airport.

It is easy to make a day trip from either Kyoto or Osaka to Nara. Eitherway works :) It's within 1h of travel.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thank you so much!
And to Kuoromon Market, Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori is there any close station?

Shinsaibashi Station is not JR...correct?

also! If I activate my 7 days JR pass on the 27th Jan afternoon....could I still use it in the morning of 3rd Feb?

Hi again!

Shinsai bashi is indeed a subway stop. My advise would be to take the JR to JR-Namba and walk from there (you'll find some very interesting stuff on the way as well).

The JR Pass is counted in calender days and would expire at the end of the 2nd if activated on the 27th (count full days).

Hope this clears things up :)
Daniel
