Which passes should I buy for my trip? 2018/3/12 21:41
'Hi everyone ! I'm going to Osaka from 24th March-1st April and my plan is as below:

24th-Osaka
25th-26th-Kyoto
27th-Osaka/Kyoto
28th-Nara
29th-Mt.Koya
30th-Himeji
31th-Kurashiki

Can anyone advise on what type of passes worth to buy ? I will be staying in Osaka throughout my trip.

Thanks in advance !

It's actually fairly difficult to make Kansai area passes pay off without some long distance travel. Fortunately you do this, so for Mar 27-31, I suggest you get a Kansai Wide Area Pass.

If the order of your plans does not matter, you could squeeze a little more savings by switching Koyasan with one of your days in Kyoto to get the full 5 days out of the Wide Area Pass.

For Koyasan, use a Koyasan World Heritage Ticket.

You can see Koyasan as a day trip, but it is far better as an overnight.

The rest of your days are a little unclear. Are you landing at KIX on Mar 24? If so, the Icoca & Haruka discount ticket might help if you are staying longer after the Apr 1st enough to use what is still on the IC card.
