All Reviews for Tickets

There are many attractions around Osaka Castle that can be used for free, so by combining a boat cruise and entrance fees (for about two places), you can almost break even. Additionally, since you can use the subway, buses, and private railways within Osaka, depending on the location of your hotel, it might be worth purchasing this pass just for sightseeing at Osaka Castle.

The available attractions are somewhat spread out, but they are concentrated in the area, so I think it's better to target specific places to visit.

By the way, I injured my foot while trying to climb the Osaka Castle main tower, so I gave up on going up the tower.

大阪城周辺のアトラクションに無料で使用できるところが多いので、船クルーズと入場料(2か所くらい)の組み合わせで、ほぼ元が取れる。更に地下鉄・バス・大阪市内の私鉄にも乗れるので、宿泊先のホテルの場所によっては大阪城観光のためだけにこのパスを購入してもよいと思う。
利用可能なアトラクションがある程度散らばっているが、エリアに固まっているので、ターゲットを絞って行った方が良いと思う。
なお私は大阪城天守閣に登ろうとしたところで足を痛めたので、天守閣はあきらめました。

Get it if you are staying at Kyoto or Osaka and wish to travel to Nara.
It drops you off right outside Nara park.
It is much more centrally located than JR.
Good value too!
We made good use of the tourist buses

Best value for getting around in Kansai region. Good price, nice routes, the bus passes is really what sets this apart though.

Got to use the bus in Nara but didn’t use train at all since no coverage west Kyoto

Awesome pass. Got us from Nagoya to Ise on trains. Then all around Toba area, buses and trains, then also to Nara by train. Really good value pass if you're doing a compact 5 day trip to the Mei area.

After I have ordered this pass online and I made 1 amendment online immediately. However, when I approached the ticket counter for collection, the System cannot recognise my order. Staff spent half an hour to issue a pass for me.

Kintetsu Rail Pass is a good choice if you travel bigger distances within the Kyoto/Nara/Osaka region. For example from Kyoto to Asuka.

I only have one complain. I thought I would get nice looking ticket as advertised (2-day pass in my case) but in reality when I picked up the ticket at Kyoto station, I only received a regular blue/turquoise ticket like all the other JR tickets.

It covers a lot of sightseeing point. Station staffs are helpful with English communication is not a problem. Easy to access, not a complicated network. Base on this ticket, you can pay more for a faster train, so it is flexible on you budget vs. time.

One word... PERFECT!!!
In the Netherlands ordered on internet
Activated in Japan and travelled five days by train

2 days travelling with this pass..every thing was perfectly arranged ..no need for nothing extra to ask..thank you!

Even without speaking any Japanese the passes where easy to pick up. Handed them the QR code and they gave us our passes.

This pass was not good value for us. We didn’t realise how little of Kyoto it covered (subways are run by a different company) and it not being able to use it in limited express trains, was inconvenient. Would have been cheaper to just use our Icoca cards and pay for each leg.

It is value for money to trip in your rail loop. So comfortable and on time. Nice train and condition.

This pass is great for travel to kyoto and nara from nagoya.
We were a bit disappointed that it did not include reserved seats on express trains and we had to add money for that.

A very convenient and cheap option if want to see places of interest in kyoto, nara, osaka and the surrounding areas. Though it is a free seating, one can travel in comfort and most importantly, choose your own timing..

The Kintetsu staff were very helpful and even assisted to get a ramp for us at every station as we had a wheelchair.

Perfect journey Nagoya - Uenoshi - Osaka + super Ninja Museum!

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly! We also really enjoyed spending the day in Yoshino! It was only 90 minutes on the train from Osaka, definitely worth a day trip!

As I live in HK, would like to make the payment in HKD rather than USD.

It provides wide range area travel among Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, as well as Mie and Nara. If not a rush tour, it is a cost-effective ticket. For the limited express train users, extra cost for the limited express ticket make it less attractive, but still an alternative choice.

The reservation charge for a return trip between Osaka and Nagoya was higher than the pass price.

Good value if you travel to Osaka, Nara, and Kyoto.

Used it to get to Suzuka (Shiroko station) from Nagoya for 3 days of F1 GP so easily paid for itself. Will also get me to Kyoto but for that I will pay extra for the ^Limited Express^ as I need space for luggage and the time saying is bigger & get reserved seats.

kintetsu pass is good!
it can be better if kintetsu railway to offer 5-10 places/tourist spots with huge discount such as
for example, offer free ticket to
-Osaka Umeda sky building,
-Nara temple ticket( forgot which one) ,
-Nagoya castle ticket,
-Uji 平等宫 ticket
to attract ppl travel along the line.

in my opinion, the small discount is not going to attract tourists much.
hope my idea help you.

Perfect for travelers on a budget. You cannot get a better deal to travel between Nagoya and Osaka (beautiful Kyoto included), and even other areas. The trips take longer but you get to know many places and scenery that you would miss if you were to take the shinkansen. You cannot ride the limited express trains with this pass. TIP: take the express trains that skip many stations, DO NOT take the semi-express or the local trains as they stop at every station.

First time buying this pass. Biggest problem was having to go to some specific stations to get the actual pass. This should all be electronic and the pass can be obtained anywhere by scanning a QRcode for example. All train tickets should not read a piece of paper in this day an age.

It's very easy to use and just show the voucher at the counter and you will get the pass.

Our experience with the Kintetsu Rail Pass was beyond expectation. We were able to tour around the region with ease and comfort. I highly recommend this.

We waited for almost 30 minutes before we were able to board a train because there was no image of the QR code in the voucher and the person in charge in the station has to check for the voucher number to retrieve our booking. Good thing the person who attended to us was accommodating. The voucher is useful though.

It is a value for money to travel from Nagoya to Toba area using this pass. It'll be even better if it include some vouchers for Limited express service as in old pass for traveller that time is precious to rush from one location to another. Definitely will use this pass to travel to Osaka and Nara area too!
