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 User2026-01-14
After payment, you'll receive a voucher with a QR code. Use it after exchanging it for a physical paper ticket at the green machine. It can be confusing with the QR code-based direct entry ticket, but be careful, as this requires exchanging it for a paper ticket. It took about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Kansai Airport to Kyoto Station.

Reviews: [Official Ticket] JR HARUKA Kansai Airport Express Ticket (WestQR)
Guest User2025-11-12
It's easy to find and very convenient; it's located at a manned red card reader.
Used a luggage transport service from our Osaka hotel to our Kyoto hotel, and the experience was timely and completely hassle-free. It saved us from carrying heavy luggage and walking up and down staircases in subway stations, which made our journey much more comfortable.
The service promised delivery before 9:00 pm, and we received our luggage at the hotel around 7:00 pm, earlier than expected. Everything arrived safely and smoothly. Highly recommended for anyone traveling between cities in Japan.

Reviews: [25% off official tickets] Have Fun In Kansai | 1 Week Free Pass (select any 3 facilities)
Guest User2025-09-25
There's no need to redeem the pass; simply present the QR code on-site and choose three activities within a week. If you've already planned your trips and they're within your travel plans, this pass is worth buying. I took the Dotonbori Water Cruise, and I recommend arriving before sunset for an evening cruise and a riverside meal. Around the same time, I took the subway to the Abeno 300 Observatory at Tennoji Station. Ticket checking stops at 9:00 PM and ends at 10:00 PM. The 360-degree view of Osaka at night is truly worth it. I didn't plan my third trip, the Sakishima Government Office Observatory, correctly; it was closed. I recommend using Google Navigation, which will indicate when it's closed.

Reviews: [Official Ticket] JR PASS Kansai Wide Area Railway Pass 5-Day (E-Redemption Voucher)
Guest User2025-10-25
For my 6-day, 5-night trip, I bought a 5-day Kansai Wide Area Rail Pass. It was an incredible value! It took me from Kansai Airport to my hotel, then to Himeji Castle, then to the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. Then, I went to Wakayama and Shirahama, even using the Kodama Tram at Kishike Station, and finally back to Kansai Airport. It was incredibly practical and saved me money!
