Reviews: [Official Ticket] JR HARUKA Kansai Airport to Tennoji/Shin-Osaka/Osaka/Kyoto/Nara/Kobe Limited Express Ticket (Pick up at ticket machine on-site)

After payment, you'll receive a voucher with a QR code. Use it after exchanging it for a physical paper ticket at the green machine. It can be confusing with the QR code-based direct entry ticket, but be careful, as this requires exchanging it for a paper ticket. It took about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Kansai Airport to Kyoto Station.

Reviews: [25% off official tickets] Have Fun In Kansai | 1 Week Free Pass (select any 3 facilities)
Guest User2025-09-25
There's no need to redeem the pass; simply present the QR code on-site and choose three activities within a week. If you've already planned your trips and they're within your travel plans, this pass is worth buying. I took the Dotonbori Water Cruise, and I recommend arriving before sunset for an evening cruise and a riverside meal. Around the same time, I took the subway to the Abeno 300 Observatory at Tennoji Station. Ticket checking stops at 9:00 PM and ends at 10:00 PM. The 360-degree view of Osaka at night is truly worth it. I didn't plan my third trip, the Sakishima Government Office Observatory, correctly; it was closed. I recommend using Google Navigation, which will indicate when it's closed.

Reviews: [Official Ticket] JR PASS Kansai Wide Area Railway Pass 5-Day (E-Redemption Voucher)
Guest User2025-10-25
For my 6-day, 5-night trip, I bought a 5-day Kansai Wide Area Rail Pass. It was an incredible value! It took me from Kansai Airport to my hotel, then to Himeji Castle, then to the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. Then, I went to Wakayama and Shirahama, even using the Kodama Tram at Kishike Station, and finally back to Kansai Airport. It was incredibly practical and saved me money!

Reviews: Kobe Sanda Outlet + Arima Onsen + Mount Rokkō Night View 1-day Tour - Wake Up Naturally on Vacation
Guest User2025-11-24
This was a very cost-effective option. The entire itinerary was very well-planned, starting with shopping, then enjoying the hot springs, and finally seeing the night view, saving us the hassle of traveling alone.
My mom and I were surprised to be upgraded to a minivan. Our driver and guide, Zhao Zhao, handled everything perfectly and was incredibly capable. He added us on WeChat a day in advance and offered to pick us up from our hotel, which was very thoughtful. Because of the three-day holiday in Japan, there was some traffic, but they still ensured we had enough time to visit each place – excellent!

Reviews: [Official Ticket] KANSAI RAILWAY PASS 2-Day Ticket/3-Day Ticket (formerly known as KANSAI THRU PASS)
Guest User2025-12-27
This was a very worthwhile booking, perfect for people who want to visit multiple places. Plus, you don't need to use the tickets on consecutive days, making trip planning very easy. I used them in Osaka, Nara, and Kyoto. Very convenient! 👍👍👍

Reviews: [Official Ticket] JR Kansai Mini Rail Pass 3-Day (Electronic Redemption Voucher)
Guest User2025-11-08
My trip to Osaka was from November 2nd to 6th, 2025. I bought the JR Kansai Mini Pass, which was quite convenient and cost-effective. I visited Kobe and Kyoto, both of which had new rapid transit lines. On the last day, I also took the Airport Express. Note that cars 5-8 on the Airport Express might be assigned to Wakayama, so be sure to take cars 1-4. I also took the Arashiyama Scenic Railway; make sure you buy the correct section ticket, as it offers round-trip tickets. I bought the wrong one.
