Nara Kintetsu Station to Nara Deer Park

I heard that there is a shuttle bus from the station to Nara Park, Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Shrine. Do I have to pay a separate fee for the bus or I can just use my Kansai Thru Pass to ride the shuttle bus?

The loop bus in Nara city is operated by Nara Kotsu which seems not to join the Kansai Thru Pass.

I can't find Nara, so I am afraid you must pay for the bus rides.

I see. But other trains and local buses in Nara can be used, right? About the Nara Kotsu, do I have to pay eveytime I ride or is there any 1 day pass sold?

Kintetsu train, yes. JR train, no. Most of the buses within Nara prefecture is Nara Kotsu bus, so actually no.

About the Nara Kotsu, do I have to pay eveytime I ride or is there any 1 day pass sold?

Yes there are one day passes.

Perhaps 500 yen pass will fit you.

I read at the website that I can buy the Nara Kotsu bus ticket at Kansai Airport. Is this true?

Sorry but I can't find the information about the KIX. You can buy the 1 day pass at Kintetsu Nara Bus Information Center on the day.

Below the website, it is written:-
Travel Desk in KANSAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Nara Bus passes are also available at Kansai International Airport at the Travel Desk information center in Terminal 1,and Terminal 2.

Oh sorry, I just failed to notice it. It should be "Tourist Information Center" of Kansai Airport.

This is operated by Japan Tourist Bureau, the biggest tourism company in Japan and you can also buy Kansai Thru Pass there.

I was just there 2 days ago.
(1) From Kintetsu Nara train station, it is walkable (if everybody in your party is healthy and able) to Nara Park. I recommend walking, because it's only one or two bus stops away and there is no need to wait for a bus, which can be too packed sometimes.
(2) If you opt to take a bus, there is a special bus called Gurutto Bus (ぐるっとバス), which runs the popular tourism sites in a loop. The fare is 100 yen per ride (you can ride for free if you buy a day pass also), so if you just want to go from train station to one place and back, it is more economical than a day pass.
