BESTThe Kansai Area Pass was useful when going to areas outside Kansai that cannot be reached with the Kansai Mini Pass, such as Himeji Castle, Akashi Ohashi Bridge, and Lake Biwa. I also used it well when riding the JR line within Osaka... When going to areas other than Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe. It's a must. I exchanged it at the ticket office at Kansai Airport, and the JR staff kindly booked me a reserved seat for Haruka, so I was able to travel comfortably when coming to downtown Osaka. I recommend it.
You can also ride the Kansai Airport Express Haruka.
