Introducing the JR Kansai Wide Pass routes

With the JR Wide Pass, you can use Kansai Airport as your base and travel to most of your desired destinations, including Wakayama, Nara, Osaka, Kyoto, Shin-Osaka, Kobe, and Okayama. What's especially lucrative is that you can travel from Shin-Osaka to Okayama on the Sanyo Shinkansen. It's incredibly fast.

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.

Kyoto's sea offers a different landscape from the city center.

Enjoy Kyoto's coastal charm to the fullest with the Umi-no-Kyoto 2-Day Pass! Areas like Amanohashidate and Ine Funaya offer a different perspective from downtown Kyoto, making it the perfect place to spend a day exploring the northern part of the city and taking in the sea breeze.
With a single pass, you can choose from a selection of attractions and popular facilities, making it much easier to plan your itinerary to suit your needs. There's no need to purchase a separate ticket at the ticket booth; simply present your pass at the entrance and you're ready to go. This saves time and keeps your travel flow flowing.
Additionally, you can use Kyoto Kotsu and Tango Kairikuko Bus routes for even more convenient travel. These routes connect downtown Kyoto to major destinations in the northern region, including Maizuru, Ayabe, Fukuchiyama, Amanohashidate, and Ine, allowing you to expand your itinerary without needing a rental car.
If you've been to Kyoto many times, consider expanding your itinerary to Kyoto by the Sea. The tranquil seaside town atmosphere, sweeping vistas, and convenient bus access will make your Kyoto trip even more special.
