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)
Guest User2025-09-15
I'm very grateful to Ctrip for making it so convenient to buy international train tickets. I printed out the QR code and brought it with me. I redeemed my ticket at the white machine at the JR entrance of Terminal 1 at Kansai Airport. The machine has a Chinese language option. After redeeming my ticket, I entered the station through the manual channel and took the escalator down one level to Platform 3, which is where the Hello Kitty shuttle bus is located.★

Reviews: [Official Ticket] KINTETSU RAIL PASS Electronic Ticket 1-Day Pass, 2-Day Pass, 5-Day Pass, 5-Day Pass Plus
Guest User2025-09-10
It's very easy to use. It's not only great for Kintetsu itself, but also includes discounts on Nara Kotsu buses and some attractions, making it perfect for a day trip from Kyoto or Osaka to Nara. Please note that if you use a different browser to access the ticket page, you may need to revalidate it. It's recommended to configure it in advance and keep the same browser open during your trip.
Also, be sure to purchase a limited express ticket for limited express trains.★

Reviews: JR Kansai-Hokuriku Area Pass (7-day e-ticket)
Guest User2025-12-03
It's convenient to receive and use, but this travel pass isn't very cost-effective. I traveled from Toyama to Kanazawa and then to Kyoto. If I hadn't made a special trip to Amanohashidate (which costs 10,000 yen round trip), I feel it would have been difficult to break even.★

Reviews: [Official Ticket] JR PASS Kansai & Hiroshima Area Railway Pass 5-Day (e-ticket)
Guest User2025-12-20
Buy and use now, get off the plane and buy in the app, you can immediately scan passport self-service ticket collection at Off Air. The round trip between Osaka and Hiroshima is worth the price of admission. It's cheaper to go to Amahashidate again! But note that you can't take the Shinkansen from Osaka to Kyoto! The included Hiroshima Fun Pass can be exchanged for attraction admission/discount. Or exchange bic camera vouchers before leaving.
