Kansai wide pass - JR west bus

Just a quick question, Although I looked through Kansai wide area pass site and the JR west bus, I can't seem to find the information.

Just need to know is the pass is accepted for use to travel from Arima Onsen to Osaka, and whiles I see you can make reservation on the net, and buy ticket in advance, can you just board the bus without reservation using the pass as a walk on from this location μθdH‹ΖŒ’N•ΫŒ―‘g‡ς‹½‘‘, “ϊ–{§651-1401 Hyōgo-ken, Kōbe-shi, Kita-ku, Arimachō, 1257.


Tamotoishi, εԐΠI think this is the bus stop location.


thank you.

Not a JR bus is it?

There is certainly JR bus from Arima to Osaka, but it is not included in Kansai Wide Area Pass, according to the PDF as shown below.

The bus lines included are shown thick blue line but there is no line around Osaka.

Thanks for the reply, I emailed to JR west, they say it pass is not usable, the bus service is part of the express bus, but it is owned by JR west.
