Why You Should Pick This Pass?

The best thing about the Kansai Wide Area Pass is that apart from getting to visit the top destinations in Kansai, you also get to explore some of the lesser-known areas around the region. These include Kurashiki, Shirahama, and Kinosaki Onsen where you can visit various attractions like well-known hot springs, shores, and even amusement parks! Home to post-card perfect cities like Kyoto and Nara, the Kansai region used to be the political and cultural center of Japan for centuries. The Wide Area pass allows a first-time visitor to conveniently move around, making for a hassle-free travel experience.

The pass includes rides on the Sanyo Shinkansen (including bullet trains Nozomi and Mizuho between Shin-Osaka and Okayama), Rapid and Special Rapid services, non-reserved seats on Express trains (including Haruka, Kuroshio, Thunderbird, Kounotori, Super Hakuto, Super Inaba, etc) and Local trains (including Kyoto Tango Railway, Wakayama Electric Railway, and Chizu Express), and finally the West JR Buses in the area.
