KANSAI(Osaka)-KYOTO(Nara)-HIROSHIMA(Myiajima)-TOKYO***FUJI, please!

Hi Fernanda,

I only saw this post after I answered your last one, this one does indeed look better!

If you plan on visiting Osaka, make a stop at Osaka station, it is easy from here to go into the city and you can also take the Kyoto line here to Kyoto, please note that the Keihan line is not covered by the JR-Pass. Still Osaka is a big city so if this will be your only visit it may be better to go the next day.

From Hiroshima it is 64 minutes and from Himeji to Tokyo 221 minutes. Say you would leave Hiroshima at 9.30 then you will be in Himeji at 10.30 and have enough time to look around for a couple of hours before heading to Tokyo.

I read your replay on your other post

For Kinosaki Onsen, the train scedule is the same on every day and multiple trains ride each day. Here is an example of how to get there, and here is an example of how to get from Kinosaki-onsen to Hiroshima.

For Fuji, I would recommend a day or two visit from Tokyo, it is not too expansive to visit from there. See here for some travel options.

Let me know if I can help with anything else,
Daniel

thanx a lot, Daniel!!!
I'll ask to the ryokan owners to consider i'll be arriving in a JR station in Kyoto and they might help me find the best way to get there, BUT FEEL FRE TO SEND ME ANY TIP ABOUT IT.
I may reconsider my itinerary, including Kinosako-Onsen and planning to go to Fuji from Tokyo, as you suggest.
Based on this, DO YOU THINK 7 DAY JR PASS IS THE BEST OPTION for me X buying the tickets separated?
If I don't buy the pass, I would probably restric my trip (IF YOU THINK IT WHOULD BE BETTER LIKE THIS, PLEASE, SHOW ME HOW MUCH THEY'LL COAST):
- Kansai-Kyoto Kyoto-nara (return) - not sure I'll do it, so consider it an optional¨¨¨¨ - Kyoto-Kinsakionsen - Kinsakionsen-Hiroshima(leaving in the morning + return ticket to Miyajima in the afternoon) - Hiroshima-Tokyo. another option, once I get in Tokyo, the next day I can do a day-trip to Fuji. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IF IT COVERED BY JR PASS OR NOT, PLEASE well, thanks agains for your patience!

Hi again,

I am not sure where you ryokan is but Shichijo is not far from Kyoto station, you can walk to that street in 5-10 minutes but it is very long so I would ask the ryokan for details.

Here is a little breakdown of ticket prices without the JR-Pass.

Kansai Airport --> Kyoto ¥ 3,290
Kyoto Nara ¥ 1,380
Kyoto --> Kinosaki-onsen ¥ 4,510
Kinosaki-onsen --> Hiroshima ¥ 10,590
Hiroshima Miyajima (return) ¥ 940
Hiroshima --> Tokyo ¥ 17,850

For a total of ¥ 37620 the 7 Day JR-Pass is ¥ 28,300 so you would save at least ¥ 9,320.

For Fuji five Lakes:
The JR does not go all the way to Fuji. If you want to go to Fuji by train take the train from Tokyo to Otsuki Station, here you have to transfer to the Fujikyu Railway Line, which is not covered by the JR-Pass and costs 1,100 Yen for one way.
Alternatively you can bus from Shinjuku in Tokyo directly to Fuji five lakes which costs 1,700Yen.

Hope this clears things up,
Daniel
