Transportation and Railpasses within Kansai region.

*Note: prices listed on this article are before the tax increase in Japan in April 2014.
Therefore prices/fares quoted here will probably be slightly different if your trip to Japan is
from April 2014 onwards.
Occasionally, the train operators might amend or discontinue the railpasses listed here, so
please double-check the details with the railpass's websites for the details for the most
current information.
Kansai region is probably 1 of my favourite areas to visit in Japan (that, and Hokkaido during winter
that is).
Basically, the Kansai region is located somewhere in the middle of Japan, and it consists of 7
prefectures:
- Osaka (City area, also where Universal Studios is located at)
- Kyoto (Temples, shrines, and geisha. Kyoto also used to be Japan's capital until 1868)
- Nara (Where there are deers roaming about freely in some parts of the town)
- Mie (Where 1 of my fav old towns Oharaimachi is located at)
- Wakayama (Where I took the Cat train to visit the Cat Stationmaster)
- Hyogo (Where Kobe, Himeji and Kinosaki onsen is located at)
- Shiga (Where you can find a few ski slopes that are near Kyoto, as well as where Lake Biwa is
located at)

ABOUT ME
I'm a female from Singapore, and

loves travelling, especially to Japan.
This blog started out as a private
blog for me to share my travel photos
with my friends and family...and then
it grew when I added more and more
trips.
I remember being really lost when I
tried to plan my 1st free and easy trip
to Japan, and that was when I
decided to really incorporate more
useful links and tips to try to help
others out when they are planning
their own trips.
Would love to hear from you if my
blog helped in any way.
Kansai region is highlighted in red.
Kansai region
Getting to Kansai region

To get to Kansai region, taking a flight to Osaka's Kansai Airport is usually the best option.
Or if you are getting to Kansai region from Tokyo, you could either:
- Take a domestic flight from Tokyo's Narita or Haneda Airport to Osaka's Kansai Airport.
- Take a 3hr journey onboard the Shinkansen (bullet train) (Costs 13,240yen for a 1way from Tokyo
to Shin-Osaka station)
- Take a bus.
Public Transport from Kansai Airport
From Kansai Airport, you could take either 1 of these methods to reach Osaka downtown.
- JR Kansai Airport Rapid Service train (costs 1160yen, takes 70mins to reach Osaka station).
This train also stops at other popular stations like Rinkutown, Tennoji, ShinImamiya, Bentencho.
Since there is no reserved seat carriage for this train, so seats are on a first-come-first-served basis
and you might have to stand throughout the journey. Not too sure whether there's toilet onboard this

train since I've never taken this train before.

- JR Haruka Express train (takes about 50mins and costs 2260yen for unreserved seat or
2770yen for reserved seat to Shin-Osaka, or takes 75mins and costs 2770yen for unreserved seat
or 3280yen for reserved seat to Kyoto).
This Ltd Exp train stops at only Tennoji, Shin-Osaka (not Osaka station), and Kyoto station. It is also
the only train which goes direct from Kansai airport all the way to Kyoto.
There are areas in each cabin for you to place your luggage and there are toilets onboard this train.
For those with reserved seat tickets, you will have your seat number printed on your ticket and you
will have a confirmed seat throughout your journey.
Special package: 1 way or 2 way Haruka Express + ICOCA card package

- Nankai Ltd Exp Rapi:t (takes about 37mins and costs 1390yen to reach Nankai's Namba station
in Osaka for a reserved seat)
This is a Ltd Exp train stops at a few stations like Rinkutown, Izumisano, Kishiwada, Sakai,
Tengachaya, ShinImamiya, and Nankai's Namba station in Osaka. It doesn't go further up north to
Osaka station nor Shin-Osaka station area though. Like the Haruka Express, this train has an area
in each cabin for you to place your luggage as well as toilets onboard the train. There are no
unreserved seats on this train so you will have to purchase a reserved seat ticket.
Nankai company's discount tickets: See here.
More info: See here.
- Nankai Airport Express (takes about 48mins and costs 890yen to reach Nankai's Namba station
in Osaka)
This is a regular express train and runs on the same route as the Nankai Ltd Exp Rapi:t train, just
that this train stops at more stations along the way as well as the same stops as the Nankai Ltd Exp
Rapi:t train. There are no reserved seats on this train and seats are on a first-come-first-serve
basis...kinda like taking subway. Not too sure if there's a toilet on this train or not though.

Railpasses (for use in Kansai region):

Well, there are a few railpass options for this region. It really depends on where you will be going
and then decide for yourself which is more suitable for you.
Batam (1)
Belgium (3)
Bern (1)
Budget flight (1)
I strongly recommend using Hyperdia website to calculate your train fares/schedule to compare and
see whether it's worth getting a railpass for your trip. Note that there are many railway companies in
Japan, so if you are getting a railpass offered by a certain company (for example, JR company),
then that railpass is only valid on that company's train lines.
Budget Japan (1)

Capsule hotel (1)
Contiki (23)
Cruise (3)
Meaning, even though you have a JR Kansai Area Wide pass, you can only use it to take JR train
lines.
If you were to take subways in Osaka, then the JR railpass will not cover for the subway since the
subway lines are not operated by the JR company.
Czech Republic (2)

Dragonball (2)
Echigo-Yuzawa (1)
Europe (51)
Europe (Sep 2015) (18)
4 days JR Kansai Area Wide Pass (7000yen)

Additional info: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2361_08.html
This is 1 of my favourite railpass which I've already used on a few trips.
If you plan on visiting places like Kinosaki onsen (which is about 3hrs train ride from Kyoto/Osaka),
or planning to take a Shinkansen to Okayama or Himeji from Shin-Osaka, then this railpass is really
worth getting. Bear in mind that this railpass doesn't cover the Shinkansen from Kyoto to ShinOsaka, although you could use this pass to take regular JR trains between Osaka and Kyoto areas.
Feb 14 Japan trip (4)

Florence (2)
Food (22)
France (10)
Fukui (3)
Fukuoka (2)
Gegege no Kitaro (1)
To put things into perspective (normal train fares if not using railpass):
1 way journey onboard the Ltd Exp train from Osaka to Kinosaki onsen would normally cost
4940yen (unreserved seat).
1 way journey onboard Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka to Okayama would normally cost 5350yen
(unreserved seat).
Germany (6)
But, if you are just visiting within Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe areas, then this railpass might not be
worth getting. A regular JR train (not Shinkansen) from Osaka station to Kyoto station would only
cost 540yen for 1 way journey if you are not using railpass.

Gotemba (5)

Hello Kitty (5)
Hirosaki (1)

1/2/3/4 days JR Kansai Area Pass (2000 to 6000yen)

This railpass has flexibility since you can choose whether you need 1/2/3/4 days of coverage. It
doesn't cover as large an area as compared to the Kansai Area Wide pass though, but it's a
Huis Ten Bosch (8)

Iga (1)

cheaper alternative.
You can use this pass to go up to Himeji via local and rapid trains from Osaka/Kyoto. But you
cannot use this to take Shinkansen nor Ltd Exp trains. 1 exception is that you can use this railpass
to take the Haruka Exp train.
1 way journey onboard a regular JR rapid train from Osaka station to Himeji station will normally
cost 1450yen.

4 or 8 days JR Sanyo Area Pass (20,000yen or 30,000yen)

This is a more expensive railpass with a wider coverage. You can use this railpass take the
Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka to not only Himeji and Okayama, but also to Hiroshima and up to
Hakata station in Fukuoka on Kyushu.

1 way journey onboard Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka station to Hakata station in Fukuoka will cost
14,080yen (unreserved seat).
1 way journey onboard Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka station to Hiroshima will cost 9440yen
(unreserved seat)
Karuizawa (3)
Kawasaki (1)
Kinosaki onsen (2)
Kinugawa onsen (2)
Kobe (10)
Kuala Lumpur (2)
7/14/21 days Nationwide Japan Rail Pass (28,300yen to 57,700yen)

This is my absolute favourite pass, although it is the most expensive railpass.
This is because you can use this pass to travel all across Japan on JR train lines. This includes
Shinkansen and Ltd Exp trains too. You could use this railpass to travel from Hokkaido in the north,
all the way to Kyushu in the south.
This particular railpass can only be purchased from OUTSIDE of Japan. You will have to bring the
voucher which you bought to 1 of the JR offices in Japan to exchange for the actual railpass.
Kyoto (24)
Kyushu (16)
Lauterbrunnen (2)
Liechtenstein (1)
London (7)
Luzern (1)
Macau (1)
If you are planning to make a return journey between Osaka/Kyoto and Tokyo within 7 days, then
the 7days version of this railpass is recommended. Because a 1 way Shinkansen ride from ShinOsaka to Tokyo would cost 14,050yen (reserved seat). Therefore a 2 way journey (eg. Shin-Osaka
to Tokyo, then a few days later, Tokyo back to Shin-Osaka) would cost 28,100yen if you are not
using any railpass. On top of that, you could also use this pass for the airport express trains like
Haruka Express (for access to Osaka's Kansai Airport) and Narita Express (for access to Tokyo's
Narita Airport) and the regular JR train lines.
Malaysia (5)

Maldives (4)
Matsumoto (1)
Mie (1)
Miffy (12)
Mittenwald (1)
But if you are only visiting Kansai region and not venturing beyond
Osaka/Kyoto/Nara/Mie/Wakayama/Kobe/Himeji....then this pass is not really worth getting.
Miyajima (4)
Mojiko (1)
Mont St Michel (1)
5 days Kintetsu Railpass (3700yen for regular version, 5700yen for Wide version).
This railpass is recommended for those who are planning to visit the Mie prefecture, or going to
Nagoya.
Since this railpass is offered by the Kintetsu company, so you cannot use this for trains on the JR
lines.
1 limitation for this railpass is that you can only take 3 times Ltd Exp trains within those 5 days. But
you can take unlimited trips using their local, rapid and express trains.
1 way journey from Osaka-Namba station in Osaka to KintetsuNagoya station in Nagoya would cost
4150yen (reserved seat) onboard the Ltd Exp Kintetsu train.

Omoden train arriving at Wakayama station
After I'm done exploring the 3 themed trains at Wakayama, I took a Limited Express train (which
was covered by the 4 day JR Kansai Area Wide Pass) from Wakayama station to Kyoto station.
From Kyoto station, it was 2 short train rides (about 15mins total) to get to Gion-Shijio station where
my accommodations for the next 3 nights is located at.
I stayed at a old restored Machiya (traditional wooden townhouse) called Rakuza Guesthouse,
located 1min away from Gion-Shijio station's exit. It cost me 3500yen for a single room (shared
toilet/bathroom). This guesthouse have dormitory for females as well as rooms for 2 pax.
The place is extremely quiet, so quiet at night that I can hear my neighbour in next-door room
plugging in her HTC phone to charge (the beep sound). I was also able to decipher which countries
the guests in the various rooms surrounding mine are from...based on their conversations I am able
to hear from my room.
Therefore, sound proofing is extremely bad, but it wasn't too big of a concern for me, since it's a
good experience for me to be able to stay at a Machiya at Gion area in Kyoto.
The wooden panels on the floor creaks whenever you walk on it, but I consider it part of the charm
of the place.

From Idakiso station, I then took the next train, which is the "Tama" (Cat) train, towards Kishi
station.

There is a little cafe at the station itself, as well as a small souvenir shop. Since the souvenir shop
doesn't allow photography, so no pics of the shop.

Tama-chan is also sleeping. What's up with these Cat Stationmasters who kept sleeping on the job? :)
Since I have some time to kill before the next train arrives at Kishi station, so I took a short walk
around the station, hoping to find food. But I failed.
Arrived back at Kishi station, and found Tama-chan finally woke up.
