What you can expect

Overview
Explore the Kansai area with unlimited JR train & bus travel around Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Himeji, Kobe, Wakayama, Shiga, Tsuruga, Iga-Ueno and more! The JR-West Kansai Area Pass includes the Kansai-Airport Express “Haruka”, JR buses and rapid services!

Description
The Kansai region is the spiritual heart of Japan and home to some of Japan's most interesting cities. Explore the vibrant city of Osaka and its amazing food scene, get lost in temples and shrines of ancient Kyoto, feed the deer in Nara, try some exquisite beef in Kobe, visit the stunning Himeji castle or connect with nature in the forests and waterfalls of Wakayama. With so much to see you will want to save time with a rail pass.

Start your adventure by picking up your pass from a passport-reading ticket machine at one of many JR train stations in Kansai, including Kansai International Airport.

From the airport, you can ride the comfortable Kansai-Airport Express “Haruka” to your preferred destination all around the Kansai area, and then transfer to the local trains to continue your journey. The pass includes the Rapid and Special Rapid services, so you'll get to your destination even faster.

Venture down the road less travelled and explore places like Shiga, Tsuruga, or Iga-Ueno. With the JR West Kansai Rail Pass, you'll have access to an extensive network of rail routes and even to JR West Buses.

The JR West Kansai Rail Pass is only available to foreign tourists visiting Japan and not to locals, which is why this is a great opportunity to save on transport for your trip and enjoy all Kansai has to offer!
