Day 1 -2 tokyo
Day 3 Tokyo - Osaka by airplane
Day 4 Osaka - Kobe - Osaka
Day 5 Osaka- Kyoto - Osaka
Day 6 USS Osaka
Day 7 Osaka
Day 8 to KIX

  1. Do i need to buy kansai area pass or IC card?
  2. Is pasmo suica and icoca has the same function ?
  3. Is IC Card can be use for all subway?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

1.) You could buy a Kansai Pass, it can be good if you also use it for local travel on JR lines in cities like Osaka and Kobe.

2.) Yes, both work identical.

3.) Yes !

Hope this helps and have a good time in Japan!
Daniel
