Hi, fantastic information thank you!! I'm thinking of spending a good 4 nights in Osaka and 4 nights in Kyoto before going to Fukui, and having plenty of day trips from Osaka and Kyoto in that time. Am I allowed to buy 2 passes, to use one after the other? Or is it only one pass per visit to Japan? Or, if not 2 of the same passes, am I allowed to use one type of pass, then start another type of pass the next day?
Ngl, I actually had no idea about Amanohashidate before this – for some reason I had been looking at Kinosaki Onsen without realising it's right next door, so thanks.
Also, on mention of Tottori, apparently the Kansai Wide Pass lets you go there via Okayama, while the Kansai + Hiroshima Pass only lets you go via Kinosaki Onsen. Kind of odd.
I got this pass myself and found a bit of a quirk, I got it from JTB in person in Osaka after Klook couldn't supply. For some reason when getting a pass in person from the agency no seat selection is possible at the green machines and has to be done at a counter. I'm using it for a day trip to Nachi Falls which more than covers it and the other days are a bonus.
