Japan's Kansai Railway transportation means, excluding the Shinkansen that connects various areas outside Kansai, are mainly divided into three categories: subway, private railway and JR.If the itinerary is all important attractions in urban areas such as Osaka and Kyoto, you can choose JR specifically, so you don't have to worry about transportation too much.
If you want to arrange a slightly special attraction, you usually use the private railway.Because the private railway network in the Kansai region is quite dense, and there are many companies operating, the advantage is that you have to choose a suitable route. The disadvantage is that you spend more time studying and researching transportation methods.
If the itinerary falls in the area east of Osaka and south of Kyoto, which mainly covers Kyoto, Nara, Ise, Toba, Shima, Mie, etc., Kintetsu Railway is a pretty good choice, and the five-day rolls issued by it, It is almost possible for tourists to play in the end with one ticket.
Kintetsu Railway is owned and operated by "Kinki Nippon Railway Co., Ltd.", and its routes cover Osaka and Kyoto, and the four prefectures of Nara, Mie, Gifu, and Aichi. The length of the railway line is second only to JR.
The Kintetsu Five-Day Pass offers two plans:
KINTETSU RAIL PASS wide: 5,700 yen / 6 years old and below are free.Unlimited rides on Kintetsu (non-express trains), Iga Railway Line, Mie Kotsu Bus, and Toba City Route Bus (Seagull Bus) within five days, with three Kintetsu Limited Express voucher, Kansai International Airport/Chubu International Airport round trip Tickets, discount coupons for many sightseeing facilities.
KINTETSU RAIL PASS:3,700日圓/6-12歲兒童1750日圓/6歲以下免費。五日內不限次數搭乘近鐵(非特急列車)、伊賀鐵道線,附贈三張近鐵特急兌換券。
The main difference between the two schemes is that the former provides round-trip tickets for the Kintetsu connection to the airport, and will be included in the bus as the scope of travel, and the discount coupon is better than nothing.Because the railway line is not connected to the airport, if you add an airport shuttle ticket to "PASS wide" and use difficult skills and obsessive-compulsive mentality to arrange the itinerary, foreign tourists can almost play with this ticket.
It is important to note that if you want to purchase the Kintetsu Five-Day Pass, one is to find an agency travel agency in China to purchase the exchange voucher, and then exchange it after arriving at the Japanese airport, and the other is directly at the Airport Agency on the 1st floor of Kansai Airport in Japan. Purchase at travel counters.In view of the risk of loss of the redemption voucher and it is not a time-saving, it is recommended to buy it directly at the airport. It is sufficient to show a passport with "short-term stay" when purchasing.
The main driving range of Kinki Tram covers Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Ise, Toba, Shima, Mie, Nagoya and other places. If you are not obsessive-compulsive tourists, you must use the five-day tour pass thoroughly. You can usually consider whether the itinerary is from Kyoto. Or the itinerary from Osaka to the scenic spots in Nara and Mie areas. If there is any, it is actually enough to take a round trip and make good use of the limited express ticket that comes with it.
Take my own experience as an example. When arranging the cherry blossom viewing itinerary, the main place of residence is Kyoto, but I will take a day to go to Yoshino Mountain to enjoy the cherry blossoms. If the Kyoto-Yoshino round trip is far away, of course you must choose to take the limited express train. For 4,960 yen, buy a 3,700 yen Kintetsu Five-Day Pass, and use two of the limited express tickets to save 1,260 yen on the spot. The remaining four days will make you more profitable.
The official website of Kintetsu Electric Railway is available in Chinese, Japanese, English, and Korean. The information is already available, and you can check it directly online.
