When it comes to getting around like a local, nothing beats the convenience of public transport. For tourists, however, it can be a little overwhelming and confusing — not to mention the hassle of fishing for spare change in your pocket every time you need to ride. If you're planning a trip around Kansai and Hokuriku, do yourself a favor and purchase a JR West Kansai-Hokuriku Rail Pass.

This pass allows unlimited rides on JR West Sanyo Shinkansen bullet trains between Osaka and Hiroshima, JR West Express trains, and other JR-operated transportation. Valid for 7 consecutive days after the activation date, it's great value for those who want to visit Korakuen Garden, Osaka Castle, Mount Rokko, and other destinations in the area. Take advantage of this great offer to see a lot more for a lot less!
