How to use ICOCA card in Kansai, Japan

Kansai is also a popular place for tourists from China. The urban planning and the original rural culture here are very distinctive, and the local natural environment and small cultural attractions are also dotted. It is an ideal tourist destination, so how to solve the tourist traffic in Kansai, Japan?

1, you must buy an ICOCA card to go to Kansai. It is just a simple prepaid card, which will be used in transportation, vending machines and convenience stores. Super convenient. You can place an order on some domestic travel software in advance, pick it up at the Japanese airport, or buy it directly at the airport (you can recharge it indefinitely, and you need it next time you go to Japan).

2. Buy JRPASS (Kansai Railway Pass) If you just go to the popular scenic spot "Nara, Kyoto, Osaka", but if you want to go to the cities around Osaka or something, you can buy it. On the premise of buying, you should think about how much your travel route will cost before deciding whether to buy it or not. If you buy it, you can buy JRPASS for a few days. For foreign tourists, you can buy with your passport and order at the airport in advance.

3. If you don't buy JRPASS, you can also go from Kansai Airport to Osaka Kyoto, as follows.

Kyoto: buy icoca &;; Spring fragrance package, express train 3600 yen, will arrive soon.

Note: You can only take free seats in the 5/6 car. If you take the wrong seat, you will make up the ticket.

Osaka: Take the Nanhai Electric Railway near "Xinsaibashi Nanbo", get off at Nanbo Station, and then walk for a while. Take JR near "New Osaka, Beautiful Days" and get off at Umeda Station (you can also buy a HARUKA package to Osaka and spend more money).

Generally speaking, it will be much more convenient to go anywhere if you buy JRPASS. If you don't buy it, you have to work hard and study the route.

4. For transportation in Kyoto, buy a 2-day ticket in Kyoto or a subway 1 ticket and a bus 1 ticket (there are many buses, so it is not as convenient as a 2-day ticket).

5, Osaka city traffic to buy Osaka 1 day ticket 800 yen/person to earn back after a few times.

6. Map Personally, I think GoogleMap is very useful, but I can't find the traffic. Apples can be found with it. It's very detailed, and you can see the arrival time and cost.

7. Actually, if you only play in one place, go on road trip is the most comfortable. It is recommended to charter a car to the imperial car, and it will not cost too much.

8. To sum up, however, on the whole, the transportation in Japan is very convenient, but the price is very different, so public transportation is much cheaper. If you take a taxi, the price is staggering. I suggest you not take a taxi easily.
