With one Kansai Wide Pass,
From Osaka to Kyoto, Nara, Kobe and Okayama

If you are preparing for an independent trip to Kansai, I recommend the JR Kansai Wide Pass! With just one wide pass, you can travel to all major Kansai areas: Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, Himeji, Kansai Airport, Okayama, and Kurashiki Nanki area for 5 consecutive days! In addition, you can ride unlimited rides on the Sanyo Shinkansen, limited express trains, rapid trains, and local trains.

Visit popular travel destinations such as Kinosaki Onsen, Shirahama, and Wakayama with just one Kansai Wide Pass! It is much more reasonable to travel than the price of all tickets combined. For this reason, it is considered a must-have item for Kansai travel. A must, especially if you plan to travel to Okayama and Kurashiki! Check the routes you will use before traveling and make a plan.

Using the JR Wide Pass, you can use most of the destinations you want, including Wakayama, Nara, Osaka, Kyoto, Shin-Osaka, Kobe, and Okayama, starting from Kansai Airport.

In particular, what is really good for morale is that you can travel from Shin-Osaka to Okayama by Sanyo Shinkansen. You can move really quickly.

Why the JR Kansai Wide Pass is a great item

Why the 5-day JR Kansai Wide Pass is a really great deal! It's worth taking the JR train from Kansai Airport to Kyoto and Oka-amya just once. In other words, if you go to Okayama, it's definitely a plus. Also, since you can ride not only JR but also trains and buses, the JR Kansai Waad Pass is a great pass if you plan your trip well!
