[Kansai area pass for Shinkansen?]

Okay, thank you. 

 

But then I do not understand why the a.m. calculator suggest the "JR-West Kansai Area (2D)*" ticket after I chose "Kyoto -> Himeji (Shinkansen 55 mins) return" . And says:

"Days used: 1
Covers all trips
Covers ~¥10.500
Total cost ~¥4.300"

But now I see the tooltip (after hovering) that it does not include the Shinkansen

[Kansai area pass for Shinkansen?]

Hi all,

 

just to be sure: I can use the "Kansai Area Pass" to travel from Kyoto to Himeji with the Shinkansen, right?

In the foot notes here https://www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/ticket/pass/kansai/ it says "* not valid on the Shinkansen or Limited Express trains other than the Kansai-Airport Express 'Haruka'."

But that is just for the Shinkansen from the airport, correct?

 

As I understand it I can use the Shinkansen, except for the "Nozomi".

 

And the 1-day ticket is enough/valid, right? Because this nice calculator https://www.japanstation.com/japan-rail-pass-value-calculator/ only suggests the 2-day ticket

 

thanks in advance
