Piero Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 I'm coming from Italy and having problems to understand what IC Card I should use. For example, we have to go from Osaka to Shugakuin. Now, from Osaka to Tofukuji they are JR lines, so I can use a JR pass, from Tofukuji to Demachiyanagi it's a Keihan line, and maybe the Icoca is accepted (but I'm not shure because it seems it's not accepted for all the lines, but I don't know how to distinguish them), but it seems the Kansai pass is not accepted. From Demachiyanagi to Shugakuin I'm totally lost because I can't find any instructions. The IC Card sites are not totally clear and I can't find an email where to ask questions!! What IC card should I use, or it's better for me to keep a SUICA since I'm arriving from Tokyo??? I hope someone can help me Thank you Quote
Japan Station Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 Kansai One Pass is just a special version of ICOCA card. Both Suica and ICOCA are accepted all over Japan. Kansai Thru Pass is similar to JR Pass, but offers unlimited travel on non-JR railways in Kansai region for a set number of days. You can use either ICOCA or Suica to travel from Osaka to Shugakuin. Both are accepted on Keihan and Eizan lines.
