You may travel in Kansai area only and not travel throughout Japan. You may have one way trip from Osaka to Tokyo. For these travelers, Kansai One Pass/ICOCA and Haruka gives you a good deal for the transfer from Kansai airport to Osaka or Kyoto, and the local sightseeing in Kansai region.
This deal gives you access to Osaka or Kyoto by the limited express Haruka and some preloaded e-money in ICOCA or Kansai One Pass.
I will tell you what this deal is and how to use it in this post.
What is Haruka?
Haruka is the limited express train which offers you a direct transfer from Kansai International Airport (KIX) to Tennoji, Shin-Osaka and Kyoto. This train does not stop at Osaka station (Umeda). But it is only one station away from Shin-Osaka. This is only direct train service to Kyoto from KIX. If you go to Kyoto, I highly recommend to take this train because this is the fastest, most convenient and most reliable choice. Please see the post, Limited Express Haruka to get more details.
How to use ICOCA and Kansai One Pass
These are e-money IC card. This deals included 1500 yen e-money in ICOCA or 2,500 yen e-money if you choose Kansai One Pass.
You can use this e-money not only JR trains but also Osaka subway, Kyoto subway, most of private train companies (Hankyu, Keihan, Kintetsu and many more) and even city bus in major cities, like Kyoto. You can use it to shop in the kiosk in the station, the nationwide convenience store (Lawson, Family Mart, Seven Eleven) and even some of major electronics retail store.
If you go to other major cities, like Tokyo, Nagoya, Sapporo, Hakata, Hiroshima after staying in Kansai area, you still can use ICOCA. So you can take most of trains in the other areas by ICOCA, such as subway in Tokyo, JR train in Sapporo and many more.
What is the difference between ICOCA and Kansai One Pass
Kansai One Pass is basically same type card as ICOCA. But Kansai One Pass is available for an overseas tourist only. And the preload amount is 1,000 yen more than ICOCA.
You can take any trains and most of bus services in Kansai area by this card. The way of using Kansai One Pass is exactly same as ICOCA. The biggest feature of this card is offering a discount at many attractions in Kansai area. ICOCA does not offer any discount at the attraction. If you intend to purchase ICOCA, you should purchase Kansai One Pass instead.
You might think that 2,500 yen e-money is too much for your trip. But as I mentioned, you can use this e-money to buy something eat and/or drink in the major convenience store. It is not hard to spend 2,500 yen. You can include Kansai One Pass in ICOCA and Haruka package instead of ICOCA.
Please see the link below to find the detailed information of Kansai One Pass:
Price
Actually you can get only Haruka discount ticket which is Haruka riding ticket portion of ICOCA and Haruka if you have already got ICOCA card or Kansai One Pass.
ICOCA and Haruka price table
Destination | Haruka service section | One way | Round trip |
---|---|---|---|
Osaka, Shin-Osaka | KIX – Shin-Osaka | 3,200 | 4,400 |
Tennoji, JR-Namba | KIX – Tennoji | 3,600 | 5,200 |
Kyoto, Saga-Arashiyama | KIX – Kyoto | 3,800 | 5,600 |
Nara | KIX – Tennoji | 3,700 | 5,400 |
Kobe, Sannomiya | KIX – Shin-Osaka | 3,600 | 5,200 |
Haruka ticket only price table
Destination | Haruka service section | One way | Round trip |
---|---|---|---|
Osaka, Shin-Osaka | KIX – Shin-Osaka | 1,200 | 2,400 |
Tennoji, JR-Namba | KIX – Tennoji | 1,600 | 2,200 |
Kyoto, Saga-Arashiyama | KIX – Kyoto | 1,800 | 3,600 |
Nara | KIX – Tennoji | 1,700 | 2,400 |
Kobe, Sannomiya | KIX – Shin-Osaka | 1,600 | 3,200 |
- One way type ticket is only available both direction, such as KIX to Osaka and Osaka to KIX. But only the deal from KIX is available online. You cannot purchase the ticket to KIX online. You have to purchase it at the station after arrival.
- One way type ticket must be used on the day of purchase. Round trip ticket is valid for 14 days.
- ICOCA and Kansai One Pass can be used whenever you want. ICOCA and Kansai One Pass will be expires in case that you will not use these cards in 10 years at all. If you intend to come back to Japan in next 10 years, you still will be able to use same ICOCA or Kansai One Pass in next trip
- Haruka riding portion of this deal can allow you to use non reserved seat of Haruka or the other local and rapid train. You cannot take a reserved seat or the Green seat of Haruka and other limited express trains, such as the Shinkansen.
If your child is 5 years or younger, it is free of charge.
If you want to get only Haruka ticket without purchasing ICOCA or Kansai One Pass, you can buy a ticket at Klook:
Klook.comI will explain a price comparison later.
How about child deal
ICOCA and Haruka is not available for child. But if you travel between Kansai airport and Shin-Osaka or Kyoto, Kansai Area Pass child rate is cheaper than a single fare.
If you want to compare the exact fare and the price of this pass, the single fare table can be found below. The child rate is applied to 6 years to 11 years old. 5 years old or younger child is free if you share your seat with your child. But when you take a train and there are lots of empty seat, you can give a seat to your child.
ICOCA can be purchased itself beside Kansai area pass. You cannot share your ICOCA Card with your child. Child ICOCA is available. But Please see the next chapter.
How to use ICOCA and Kansai One Pass
Most of you use ICOCA or Kansai One Pass to take a train. The biggest advantage of this card is that you do not have to purchase a ticket when you enter the station and take a train. All you have to do is touch your ICOCA or Kansai One Pass at a ticket gate when you enter/exit station. It is automatically calculated and subtract a fare from your ICOCA or Kansai One Pass. You can save your time when you take a train.
Even if you do not have enough fund in your ICOCA, you can still enter the station and take the trains. (But you must have minimum fares plus 500 yen deposit in this card.) You can add more fund before you enter/exit the station. You can add more fund in your ICOCA or Kansai One Pass at other major cities where other IC cards are available, such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Sapporo, Sendai, Nagoya, Hiroshima and Hakata.
Actually 2,000 yen e-money in ICOCA (2,500 yen in Kansai One Pass) that is included in this deal also includes 500 yen deposit. Therefore your fund in your ICOCA is 1,500 yen and 2,500 yen in Kansai One Pass. If you empty this card and do not use it any more, you can get this 500 yen deposit refund at the station. But if you want to keep ICOCA card itself for your souvenir, you cannot get refund. Especially ICOCA card for this deal is designed for the overseas tourist. It looks different from common ICOCA card. There are two versions available, Wind or Thunder God on the screen (National treasure) or No.1 world famous Japanese character ‘Hello Kitty!’.
If you go to other than Kansai area and want to get refund, complete to use this ICOCA when you stay in Kansai area and get refund. You cannot get any refund in the other cities, like Tokyo.
Child ICOCA is sold at 2,000 yen that is 1,500 yen e-money and 500 yen deposit. It has same value as adult ICOCA card. But if your child use Child ICOCA, child fare is deducted to take a train. Child fare is half amount of adult fare. So it takes longer to spend 1,500 yen e-money than using adult ICOCA.
Please see the following link to get some more information about other IC cards:
How to use this deal
This deal includes 1,500 yen ICOCA e-money or 2,500 yen e-money in the card if you choose Kansai One Pass, and one way/round trip to Osaka, Kyoto, Nara or Kobe. You cannot use this deal to Himeji, Wakayama and other than Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Kobe.
If you go to Sannomiya, Kobe and other stations between Kobe and Shin-Osaka, you have to take Haruka to Shin-Osaka and transfer local, rapid or Special Rapid Service at Shin-Osaka. Of course this ticket covers all part of this trip. However the airport limousine bus runs between Kansai airport and Kobe directly. If you go to Kobe, the airport limousine bus is better way. You can find limousine bus information at the link below:
Kansai airport limousine bus between Kansai airport and Kobe
If you go to Nara, Haruka takes you Tennoji. And then you have to change to Yamatoji Rapid Service to get Nara. There is no direct train services to Nara either. This is same as access to Kobe. The airport limousine bus takes you to Nara directly. You can find limousine bus information at the link below:
Kansai airport limousine bus between Kansai airport and Nara
Price comparison to basic fare
Upper rate is basic fare and lower rate is non reserved seat limited express surcharge.
Adult (12 yrs and up) | Child (6-11 yrs) | |
---|---|---|
KIX – Tennoji | 1060 yen 650 yen | 530 yen 330 yen |
KIX – JR Namba | 1060 yen 650 yen | 530 yen 330 yen |
KIX – Shin-Osaka | 1360 yen 970 yen | 680 yen 480 yen |
KIX – Osaka (Umeda) | 1190 yen 970 yen | 590 yen 480 yen |
KIX – Kyoto | 1880 yen 970 yen | 940 yen 480 yen |
KIX – Sannomiya | 1710 yen 970 yen | 860 yen 480 yen |
This deal is cheaper for all destinations than the regular fares.
Compare to other deals, Nankai Railway deals, JR West Kansai Area Pass and Kansai Thru Pass
If you travel to Shin-Imamiya or Namba, you can take Nankai Railway. The basic fare is only 930 yen if you take the airport express train. Nankai Namba station is located at central of Namba and it is much better location than JR Namba. Even if you want ICOCA, you can purchase only ICOCA or Kansai One Pass. You can buy one of these cards and start using to take the train from KIX right away.
If you go to somewhere in Osaka, like Shinsaibashi, Nihonbashi, Uehonmachi, by subway, Nankai Namba is much easier location to transfer to subway Namba station. If you have very tight budget, Osaka Subway to Kansai int’l Airport ticket is sold at 1,020 yen. This includes Nankai Railway one way basic fare between Kansai airport and Namba and one way trip to/from any Osaka Metro stations. As I mentioned, basic fare from KIX to Namba by Nankai Railway is 930 yen. Osaka Metro fare is starting at 180 yen. If you have the shortest trip, like from Namba to Shinsaibashi, the total fare (Nankai plus Subway) is 1,110 yen. You can use this deal, Osaka Subway to Kansai int’l Airport ticket for the trip to Umeda where is same location as JR Osaka station. Osaka Metro Midosuji line can take you from Namba to Umeda. This is cheaper than JR basic fare 1,210 yen. If you want to get more information about Osaka Subway to Kansai int’l Airport ticket, please see Nankai Railways website.
If you go to Nara by the train after you arrive in KIX, you may consider to use Nara Access Ticket or Kansai Thru Pass. Kintetsu Railway is better to access to Nara because Kintetsu Nara station is better location than JR Nara station. So I recommend you to use Nara Access Ticket or Kansai Thru Pass to get Nara. Please see the post, How to access to Nara.
If you go to Himeji, JR West Kansai Area Pass is the best and the fastest. Kansai Thru Pass can be used to get Himeji. But it is too many transfers and spend many hours. JR trains, Haruka and Special Rapid Service, are much faster.
I explained all deals for airport access at the link below. Please refer this post too.

Hi Chang,
Basically you can follow my sample itinerary in the link below:
https://jprail.com/sample-itineraries/7to9-days/visit-kyoto-osaka-nara-and-kobe-for-5-to-7-days-sample-itinerary.html
In this sample itinerary, I put Nara between Kyoto and Osaka but you can go to Osaka directly. When you go to Namba from Sanjo, you can take Keihan railway to get Yodoyabashi and then take subway to get Namba. It takes about one hour. You don’t need to spend half day. You can extend your time in Kyoto or spend some time in Osaka, or you can squeeze Nara if you like.
Cheers,
Takeshi / JPRail.com
Dear Takeshi,

Day 3 – Kyoto Shijo to Namba Station (ICOCA – Hankyu Line & Subway)
Day 4 – Osaka (I should take Kansai Thru Pass or Osaka Amazing Pass Or Enjoy ECO?)
Day 5 – Kobe Day Trip (Kintetsu Nara/Namba/Hanshin Line) – ICOCA OR (Kansai Thru Pass?)
Day 6 – Osaka (I should take Kansai Thru Pass or Osaka Amazing Pass Or Enjoy ECO?)
Day 7 – Osaka (I should take Kansai Thru Pass or Osaka Amazing Pass Or Enjoy ECO?)
Day 8 – Namba Nankai to KIX (Nankai Airport Express Train) – ICOCA
Thank you.
Chang
Hi Chang,
Your choices are mostly correct. I don’t think you need Kansai thru pass. It’s too much for sightseeing in Osaka. It’s not a bad choice for trip to Kobe but this pass is minimum for 2 days. So use other deal for trip to Kobe. Hanshin Tourist Pass is most affordable for trip to Kobe.
http://www.hanshin.co.jp/global/en/tourist/
For sightseeing in Osaka, amazing pass, eco card or other deal is your choice. It depends on your trip plan. Please find more info in the link below:

Other part of your trip look okay.

Takeshi / JPRail.com
Hi Takeshi San
I will be doing the route of:
Day 1 Osaka KX airport to Kyoto Station, then stay at Karawamachi
Day 3 Travel up to Arashiyama ryokan
Day 5 Travel from Arashiyama back to Osaka Namba
Day 6 Namba to Kobe for only a day trip
Day 8 Go back to KX Airport
I am thinking of Icoca and Haruka as i will be only at Osaka, Kyoto & Kobe. Do you think this is ok?
Thank you Takeshi San.
Regards,
angie
Hi Angie san,
I agree with you mostly. You can add Kansai one pass instead of ICOCA. It’s basically same but Kansai one pass offers a discount at many attractions.
https://kansaionepass.com/en/about.html?info=1
When you are in Kyoto, you may use Kyoto city bus pass for one day at 600 yen. You can take a bus by Kansai one pass but bus pass is 600 yen. You can get the worth by only 3 rides. You may use Kansai one pass to take trains and subways only in Kyoto. Use a bus pass to save your fund in Kansai one pass.
In Osaka, you can use other deals to instead of using Kansai one pass. Especially if you intend to visit many attractions, Osaka Amazing Pass is highly recommended:

If using Kansai-Airport Express “HARUKA.”, does this train service stop direct at Shin-Imamiya Station, or is a transfer is needed from Tennoji Station.
Also If a transfer is needed, will there be a extra cost, or if I don’t exit the gates, can I get on another JR train to Shin-Imamiya.
Thanks
Thanks
Hi kms,
If you don’t exit at Tennoji, you can take other train to get Shin-Imamiya by same ticket.
Cheers,
Takeshi / JPRail.com
Hi Takeshi-san. How do I purchase HARUKA discount ticket if I already have an ICOCA card?
Hi Adele san,
You can show your ICOCA at the station and you can buy Haruka discount ticket.
Cheers,

Hi Takeshi,
Can give me some suggestion about the Pass ?
which is the most suitable pass to buy for my itinerary as below :
Day 1 – Kansai airport to Nagoya
Day 2 – Shirakawago day trip ( we booked a bus day trip from tour )
Day 3 – Nagoya
Day 4 – 5 Kyoto
Day 6 – 7 Osaka – Kansai
So , we still need JR pass for this route ?
Some of my friend suggest Takayama Hokuriku Pass, but for the Shirakawago we already booked day tour, I think is not neccessary right ? but thei Takayama Hokuriku can we use from Kix to Nagoya ?
Thanks 🙂
Hi Seow,
Takayama Hokuriku area pass does not cover Osaka-Nagoya. It does not fit to your trip plan. Unfortunately there is no deals available to cover whole part of your trip.
You can use ICOCA and Haruka to Kyoto on arrival day. You can get Kyoto by this deal and after that, add regular ticket for Kyoto to Nagoya by Shinkansen. You can purchase this ticket when you purchase ICOCA and Haruka.
For Nagoya to Kyoto, you can purchase Platt Kodama when you are in Nagoya. This ticket cannot be purchased on the day of trip. You must purchase it in advance. (That’s why you cannot use it on arrival day.)
https://jprail.com/travel-informations/other-rail-passes/rail-pass-for-residents/platt-kodama-one-way-deal-among-tokyo-nagoya-kyoto-and-shin-osaka-by-shinkansen.html
You may use ICOCA to take local train in Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka.
For the last day to KIX, you can find the deal in the link below:

Hi Takeshi,
I read a lot on your website but I’m still struggeling which passes I should use best for my itinerary when we stay in Osaka. I will be travelling with 2 kids (in total 4 persons) during the Golden week.
Day 1 – KIX – Abeno station ( closest to our accommodation) –> ICOCA+HARAKA or HARUKA ticket only+Eco Card?
Day 2 – Osaka (Osaka Castle, Dotombori) –> Eco Card
Day 3 – Abeno station – Kyoto (Fushimi Inari Taisha, downtown Kyoto, Gion) –> Kansai One Pass?
Day 4 – Osaka Aquarium –> Osaka Kaiyu Ticket
Day 5 – Nara (Deer Park and Daibutsu) –> Kansai One Pass
Day 6 – Osaka (Umeda Sky Building) –> Eco Card
Day 7 – Abeno station – KIX –> ICOCA+HARAKA
Please could you give me advise if the use of the passes is a good or is using the Kansai Through Pass better for Day 3 and 5?
Many thanks in advance,
Anny
Hi Anny,
You may add Kansai one pass on ICOCA and Haruka. In this case, you can have only Kansai one pass instead of ICOCA. Both cards are basically same. Kansai one pass is actually ICOCA which offers discount at many attractions.
http://www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/ticket/icoca-haruka/
Kansai thru pass is recommended for trip to Kyoto and Nara.
https://jprail.com/travel-informations/other-rail-passes/rail-pass-for-residents/how-to-use-kansai-thru-pass-compare-pass-and-single-fare.html
I recommend you to use Osaka amazing pass to see Osaka castle and Umeda sky building in one day.
https://www.osp.osaka-info.jp/en/
Kaiyu ticket and Kansai one pass are okay for the rest of trips.
Cheers,

Hi Takeshi,

Hi Takeshi,
Thank you for the helpful information. We are coming to Japan for the first time, our family of 7, with 5 kids. I have been trying to figure out the best passes to get but it is all a little confusing. I would appreciate any help or advice you may have.
Our itinerary:
Day 1: KIX to Kyoto
Day 2 – 3: Kyoto sightseeing
Day 4: Kyoto to Tokyo
Day 5-8: Tokyo sightseeing
Day 9: Tokyo to Fukuoka
Day 10: Fukuoka sightseeing
Day 11: Fukuoka to Osaka
Day 12: Osaka sightseeing
Day 13: Osaka to KIX
I plan to buy a JR 7 day pass for the shinkansen train for Day 4 – 11. Do you think the other pass I would need is the icoca/haruka? Thank you!
Hi Kayleen,
7 days pass is a good choice. You may get a big saving.
You can use ICOCA and Haruka on day 1. You may add Kansai one pass instead of ICOCA.
https://jprail.com/travel-informations/other-rail-passes/rail-pass-for-visitors/icoca-and-haruka-ticket-very-flexible-and-good-deal-for-tourist-who-stay-in-kansai.html
https://kansaionepass.com/en/about.html?info=1
In Kyoto, you can add bus pass and use Kansai one pass when you need to take train/subway.
https://jprail.com/travel-informations/other-rail-passes/rail-pass-for-residents/how-to-choose-the-best-train-pass-for-sightseeing-in-kyoto.html

Hi Takeshi,
I’m wondering which is the most suitable pass to buy for my itinerary on entry to Osaka from Kansai Airport
Options from Kansai Airport arrive at 9 PM
Haruka x ICOCA
Chikatoku
Yokoso Osaka
Day 1 – KIX – Matsuyamachi station ( closest to accommodation)
Day 2 – Osaka (Sumo wrestling walk from Dontonburi)
Day 3 – Osaka (Kurumon market)
Day 4 – Mt Koya ( Koyasan World Heritage Ticket)
Day 5 – Nara (from Hashimoto station – Nara)
Day 6 – Nara (Deer Park, 1 Day pass?)
Day 7 – Kyoto (staying 7mins walk from both Kujo + Toji station)
Day 8 – Kyoto ( sightseeing Arashimaya)
Day 9 – Kyoto (day trip to Uji)
Day 10 – Miyama (rent car from Kameoka station)
Day 11 – Kyoto – KIX (Haruka? )
I thought about the Kansai thru pass but I don’t we are moving fast enough to make it worth it. I’m travelling with my parents, so I don’t want to rush too much and will try to walk or take a bicycle in Kyoto when suitable. Is there any other pass I should consider?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
Mai
Hi Mai,
I think Chikatoku is the best option for arrival day. And I recommend you to purchase Kansai one pass too.
https://kansaionepass.com/en/about.html?info=1
It’s same type of card as ICOCA but it offers discount at many attractions in all Kansai area. If you have this, you can purchase Haruka discount ticket for Kyoto to KIX.
You may use this pass for other part of Koyasan. Kansai thru pass is too much as you think. Single ticket is your choice mostly. Kansai one pass makes your trip be easier.
Cheers,
Takeshi / JPRail.com
Thank you so much!!! Please put up a listing for donations as I believe you’ve helped so many tourists and I’m sure many would like to return the favour and pay you for your services!
No worries, Mai. I’m happy to assist many travelers who want to go to Japan.
Cheers,
Takeshi / JPRail.com
Hi Takeshi,
Thanx for the detailed info, it was really helpful. We plan to do the following:
Day 1 – KIX to Kyoto (early morning)
Day 2 – Kyoto sightseeing
Day 3 – check out of Kyoto and go to our hotel in Namba, Osaka. On the same day, go to Nara
Day 4 – Kobe lunch, Osaka sightseeing
Day 5 – USJ
Day 6 – Kaiyukan, etc.
Day 7 – KIX to CTX
What is the most cost effective way to get around, please? The only tricky bit is that day we leave Kyoto n go to Nara and then on to Osaka, I think.
Also, am considering taking the airport limo to KIX on Day 7 because our hotel in Namba is an airport limo stop.
Thank you,
Aida
Hi Aida,
