Osaka Namba to Kintetsu Nara by Kintetsu Limited Express.  Why u take Normal Local train?  wasting time.  when you travel u need time against speed.  U need save time. 
2 Way ticket already 2,100 Yen already

Plus Kintetsu Limited Expresss for Osaka > Kyoto > Osaka.  another 2000Yen

Already 4000Yen. Come on.......How can Kansai Thru Pass cannot cover ur all trip?

Tomamu. The Tower resort & Risonare are most luxury place to stay at Hokkaido.

Risonare much better due to indoor water park

Using the Kansai Thru Pass, do we need to pay extra for the Reserve Seat for the following line? Both are reserved seating only right.

Nankai Ltd. Exp. Rapit (To Kix)
Kintetsu Ltd. Exp.

I'm trying to use hyperdia to find out how to get to Nishi-Shinjuku from Haneda airport.
Nishi-Shinjuku does not seem to be listed, but Shinjuku-Nishiguchi is. Am I searching it wrongly? Looking at the map, both stations are close to each other but its still confusing for first timers.

Nop.  kansai Thru pass are not like JR Rail Pass.  Kansai Thru Pass can choose any date you want to active.  you can Active it 3 times.  Each time can last 24 hour

Example: I can activated it at Monday , Wed & Sat

Thanks. That's great!

Can you help me on this one,
For my Hakone trip, I would like to take the Odakyu Romancecar at 07:28 train at Shinjuku and I've checked with Hyperdia that I can take the 06:07 from Mutsumi-FUNABASHI-KINSHICHO-SHINJUKU(JR) to arrive at 07:13.
Do I have enough time to transfer at Shinjuku for Odakyu Romancecar?
Are Shinjuku(JR) and Odakyu Hakone in the same station?
Is it easy to tranfer train at Funabashi and Kinshicho?
If I take the 8:53 train and arrives at 10:35 at Hakone-Yumoto, will it be too late and rush to do the round-trip hakone recommended course?
Is it an easy walk from Moto Hakone-Ko to Hakone Machi-Ko?
