JR Kansai Wide Area Pass 5 days + Have Fun in Wakayama (available at 3 facilities)

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

If you are planning a free trip to Kansai, I recommend the JR Kansai Wide Pass! With just one Wide Pass, you can travel to all of the major Kansai areas, including Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, Himeji, Kansai Airport, Okayama, and the Kurashiki Nanki area for 5 consecutive days! In addition, you can ride the Sanyo Shinkansen, limited express trains, rapid trains, and local trains without limit.

Visit popular tourist destinations such as Kinosaki Onsen, Shirahama, and Wakayama all with one Kansai Wide Pass! You can travel at a much more reasonable price than the combined price of all tickets. That's why it's considered a must-have item for traveling in Kansai. It's especially a must-have if you're planning to travel to Okayama or Kurashiki! Check the routes you'll be using in advance and make a plan before you travel.

Introducing the routes of the JR Kansai Wide Pass

With the JR Wide Pass, you can use Kansai Airport as your base and travel to most of the places you want, including Wakayama, Nara, Osaka, Kyoto, Shin-Osaka, Kobe, and Okayama.

One particularly great thing about this route is that you can travel from Shin-Osaka to Okayama on the Sanyo Shinkansen. It’s a really fast ride.

You can also ride the Haruka. (Being able to ride the Haruka is really the best) You can use the Haruka to go from Kansai Airport to the city center or to Kyoto, so it's really useful.

Why the JR Kansai Wide Pass is a real deal

The reason why the 5-day JR Kansai Wide Pass is a real deal! It is a great deal if you take the JR from Kansai Airport to Kyoto and then Okayama once. In other words, if you go to Okayama, it is definitely worth it. Also, you can use not only JR but also trains and buses, so if you plan your travel itinerary well, the JR Kansai Wide Pass is a really great deal!
