Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you!

From Nagoya to Nara with Kintetsu Rail Pass 2024/11/17 23:47
In the Kintetse Rail Pass page, the train map shows that the pass covers the route from Nagoya to Yamato-Yagi, and to Nara. However, it's stated clearly that the pass is not valid on limited express (tokkyu) trains. And according to google maps, the limited express trains are the only options travelling from Nagoya to Nara, specifically from Kintetsu Nagoya Station to Yamato-Yagi Station.
Would really appreciate some help here.

You are wrong to assume that limited express trains are the only trains available for the journey. This is just due to Google Map's limited search options. As a result, it won't show the slower connections. There are slower non-limited express trains that make the journey, but will be time-consuming. The following site should be able to show you the slower connections if you use the filtering tools:

Note also, that the pass allows you to ride limited express trains by paying the limited express fee.
