Japan rail pass/Osaka-Kyoto trip
Hallvard Tangeraas wrote:
The only problem is that it'll be way more than 3 months from now til I arrive in Japan, so could I possibly buy it somewhere else, along my trip? Or do I have to buy it in my home country? I'll be in Australia, then New Zealand prior to Japan. Would it be possible for me to buy the pass in New Zealand, even though I'm from Norway? You should be able to buy it anywhere except Japan. By the way, how much does a train ticket from Osaka airport to Kyoto cost? I'll be staying in Kyoto about a week before travelling around in Japan, so it makes sense to buy a separate ticket for this, then start using the rail pass after that first week. Anywhere from Yen1780 to Y2650; if you're doing this to save a day on your rail pass, I'd check into a bus.
