Hanshin-Sanyo Seaside ticket to Himeji 2015/2/22 16:21
Hi I would like to find out going to Himeji with Hanshin-Sanyo Seaside ticket http://www.sanyo-railway.co.jp/global/en/access.html, if we can get on and get off along the rail line without paying extra money? If we can do that without extra cost, we are thinking to stop at Mailo Koen and take pictures of the Worldfs longest suspension bridge.

Can you help me understand the route map of http://www.sanyo-railway.co.jp/global/en/access.html. Do we take the Limited Express train only or do we need to change trains between the rail (eg from Kobe Sannomiya, Hanshin Electric Railway change to Limited Express train at Sumaura Koen to Local Train at Maiko Keon then back to Limited Express train and so onc?

By the way, how to get to the Worldfs longest suspension bridge from Maiko Koen? Is it within walking distance and how long is the walk or will we need transport?
Thank you

I am not familiar with the bridge, but as far as I understand, you can not walk through the bridge. But there are two places you might better consider.

Maiko Kaijo Promenade

Hashi no Kagakukan

Both are in a walking distance (5 min maybe) from the station. You can see the bridge closely.
