Tokyo Disneyland got low season. You can refer to my Tips of the months Excel Helicopter ride. Around July are less people. So less people until like ghost town.  Really depends luck.
Day 1 can visit Umeda Area for Dinner + Umeda Sky Building after dinner leisure time. Not far away from Shin-Osaka Station.  [[Take Midosuji Line Metro]]

Day 2 Go very early morning. Must reach Fushimi Inari before 8am.  Then Visit Kiyomizu -Dera. Last Kinkakuji.  Dinner at Nishiki Market.
After Dinner, have a peaceful walk near Sanjo Station.  Walk along river.  Supper at Famous Pontocho Alley.

Day 3 From Osaka Namba Station take Kintetsu Nara Line to Nara.  Make it Full Day.  Dinner at Namba area.

Day 4 No problem. Follow your plan as you wish.

Day 5.....Please Reach Kansai Airport 3 Hours before your flight.  2 - 5pm are Kansai Airport most busiest time.  Custom Q are extremely long.

Thank RegentCid for provide useful information... thumbsup.gif

I just have a qusetion in Kiyomizu dera, as i know, Kiyomizu dera cannot be reach by JR (unless stop at kyoto sation then walk 40 min).
I was found that theu are bus go to Kiyomizu Dera at kyoto sation.

The bus number are 100,202,206 & 207..
My question: Is that all these bus are cover by JR rail pass? I am not sure those bus are whether under JR?

THANK A LOT.

This is a good question. This JR Yamatoji Line start from Kamo Station all the way down to Tennoji Station. Then It will share using the JR Loop Line to Shin Imamiya Station.
Most of JR Yamatoji Line Train stop at Shin Imamiya Station.
Only ''Yamatoji Rapid Service'' JR Yamatoji Line Train continue from Shin Imamiya to Imamiya Station. This mean ''Yamatoji Rapid Service'' train will be start from Kamo Station to Imamiya Station.
Only ''Rapid Service'' will reach Namba Station from Kamo Station.


Thank for your reply. thumbsup.gif
Now I understand more on the Yamatoji line.

As I know, there are 4 train running at Yamatoji line (Yamatoji Rapid Service, Rapid Service, Direct Rapid Service and Local train).
I am probably stay in Namba for 3 night.

So, in order to departure and back to Namba, I only can use Rapid Service and Local train to Namba station??
By the way, is that really good idea to stay in Namba? ( I know Namba is famous with shopping and a lot shop).

Thank a lot for yours reply.....

First Please Quote all the post you want to reply and done under one post.
JR Rail Pass are useless in Tokyo , Kyoto , Osaka , Hakone , Kawaguchiko. So you cannot used JR Rail Pass at Kyoto Buses & Metro & train except JR one.
Yes, Namba are good choice. Happening places = noise.

Hi RegentCid,

You are right...There are weakness of JR rail pass...
JR rail pass cannot use metro and buses...

For my cases, I dont have the choice...
I need to travel from tokyo to osaka, the osaka to tokyo by shinkansen...
I also need to use Narita express (for me is expensive) and again from osaka to kyoto...


Btw, thank again for your value advise.
