  • Sorry. Typo. Day 7 is stay in Osaka
  • Hi

    Cheapest way to travel to all these areas would be by using a JR Pass. It would be best to purchase a 7 day JR Pass. Then activate it when you arrive and purchase a one way ticket from Osaka to the airport.

    For schedules and timetables you can use www.hyperdia.com. In the search details you need to unclick “Nozomi, Mizuho, Hayabusa Shinkansen” and “private railway”. Then the results will show you all the trains you can access with a Japan Rail Pass.

    Hope that helps.

    Best regards
