The tracks between Shin-Osaka and Kyoto belongs to a different JR subsidary, therefore this particular railpass doesn't cover the shinkansen between Kyoto and Shin-Osaka.<br /><br />However, u can use the Kansai Wide Area pass to take JR trains (Ltd Exp) and regular Rapid trains from Kyoto to Shin-Osaka, where u can then transfer to the Shinkansen at Shin-Osaka to Himeji.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12718229763656173227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414446290866798874.post-87022694340017087422016-02-14T16:17:27.030+08:002016-02-14T16:17:27.030+08:00Hi Sam, thanks for the informative post.
