From Kansai Airport Station to Shin-Osaka Station
JR Limited Express ''Haruka'' Fare are 1300 Yen + 970 Unreserved Seat Fee  + Tax = 2330 Yen Per Pax
JR Limited Express ''Haruka'' Fare are 1300 Yen + 1490 Reserved Seat Fee  + Tax = 2850 Yen Per Pax

If you choose unreserve seat, You have to find empty seat by your own inside Unreserved seat coach. If that coach was full. You have to stand all the way to Shin Osaka Station. If you leave your seat to toilet or something else, other people can take over your seat. Even you got GF / WIfe / friend jaga seat for you also cannot. You leave your seat , other people can take over. This is rules in unreserved seat.

BTW, If you really ''Suey'' Cannot find a seat, you have to stand all the way. That 970 Yen fees really wasted.
Reserve seat will be standard seat with number. Standard  biggrin.gif

JR ''Haruka'' train schedule was every 30 Minute one train leaving Kansai Airport Station.
If you saw the Q was long then don't waste time. Very common sense.

I booked it after reading some nice reviews online. I'll be flying this weekend. Have you tried it and mind to share how was the experience?

There is another local provider with similar price range, https://www.travelrecommends.com/ According to my colleague who just came back from Korea, the reception was good, even in underground train station. Battery can last a whole day too.
Their main URL seems to be down. Please go to http://www.wiyo.my/rental_steps - http://www.wiyo.my/rental_fees

This is my first time renting from wiyo so no comment. But VERY CHEAP.

Any ideas where I can do a short term rental for wheelchair?

eg: borrow from Miyajima Guchi station, bring jalan jalan to Miyajima and return it back

travelling with an elderly who can walk, but not really long distance

anyways my itinerary will be

p/s: for short distance eg: from train station to osaka castle, from nijo to nishiki market everything will be by Taxi

take out hiroshima and himeji itself. Both place doesnt worth it if you are just going there for one day trip, especially you have elderly who cant really walk for long hours.
spend more days in kyoto and osaka itself is better.
More places that you can go like: kiyomizu, parks, and even temples.
Spend like 3/4 days in kyoto and then rest in Osaka. Plan your stay in Kyoto as well since the train from osaka to kyoto usually takes around 1 hour.
Make sure to take account into your shopping day as well. Shopping usually can just take away your half day or even whole day itself.

Hallo, this is my second Kansai trip icon_rolleyes.gif

staying in shin osaka and planning to buy the kansai hiroshima pass or kansai wide area pass because im staying at shin osaka so no problem

going to use taxi also for short distance for them to be tired

I've read a few reviews on Himeji, lots of people said that just go there and take pics there sweat.gif sweat.gif

the interior is not worth it unless you're an architectural freak as many of the exhibits is at the museum or a replica already

most probably now i am going to Kurashiki and Kobe on the Himeji day. Himeji for pictures purposes only.

so newest plan
