My 16 days Kansai Trip:

Osaka station: 1 night
Kyoto station: 3 nights
Amanohashidate station: 1 night
Kinosaki station: 2 night
Tottori station: 2 nights

Okayama station: 1 night
(San-yo Line 1hr 25min)

Himeji station: 1 night
('A' Tokaido-Sanyo Line 36min)

Kobe station: 1 nights
('A' Tokaido-Sanyo Line 26min)

Osaka station: 3 nights

1) Is it worth to buy JR pass for 16 days ?
OR is it cheaper to buy 2 Kaisai Wide Area JR Pass (5 days x 2) + normal ticket for last 6 days?
OR buy 3 Kaisai Wide Area JR Pass (5 days x 3) + normal ticket for last day travel to airport?

2) Kaisai Wide Area JR Pass can use for JR Super Hakuto train from Tottori Station to Okayama Station?

3) Kaisai Wide Area JR Pass can use for 'A' Tokaido-Sanyo Line?

3) What normal train ticket to buy for travel from Osaka Station to Kaisai Airport?

Thank you:)

Hi there,

A JR Pass would not be worth it for this trip, but there are different JR West passes that could be useful here. The Kansai Wide Pass could be a very good option here for the longer away trips, such as Amanohashidate, Kinosaki and Tottori. I'd probably get one, and start using it when going to Amanohashidate.

This pass is valid for travel to Okayama, the Tokaido Line to Kyoto and travel to Kansai Airport.

What does make it hard is that you have more than 5 days of travel, and I'm not sure if getting the pass 2x would be so good value.

Kind regards,
Daniel
