Hello I am planning to get the icoca card at kansai airport, so to travel on this train, once I get an icoca card then I need to go to the green ticket machine that you showed?
Very helpful video. If you have time to answer a question, greatly appreciated. The ordinary car has so many seats and all the tourists have luggage. How is it that the luggage compartment at the ends of each carriage is enough for all the luggage? (I had experience in other Western countries where the train's luggage compartment was full even in business class and no place to put my luggage.) Quite anxious as I'm thinking whether I have to buy a more expensive green class ticket.
Hello, it's actually not enough, most of the time it is full, people just stack their luggage on top of other peoples luggage, those who have smaller luggages as seen on the video put it on the overhead bin or just hold on to it on their seats :)
Is the non-reserved seats are first come first served basis? If passengers fill-up all the seat so I have to stand all the way from Kansai airport till Kyoto?
Hi, is the immigration located in the first floor? So, if I go to the train station for JR for the Haruka ticket, I need to go to the second floor and go outside?
Hello, I'm not sure as I haven't experienced it before, but my family arrived around 10:30pm at Kansai airport and they had to hurry to catch the airport bus from the airport to Kyoto station.
If we buy a ticket in Klook app, i think they are only selling a base fare.. do we still need to buy another ticket in kansai airport for limited express train (non stop)?
It includes the express fare, you'll be using a machine by the station entrance and a ticket will be released for a non reserved seat, I was sceptical at the beginning as well, but I tried it and I got in. You'll just show the ticket to the staff, it's not for the machine. there is a more detailed instruction on the klook app for it 😁
No, you'll need an additional Express Ticket for the Haruka aside from the Fair Ticket. you can pair: Fair Ticket + Express Ticket or IC Card + Express Ticket :)
Hello, I had a JR Pass that's why you only saw 1 ticket, if you followed the instructions as stated in the video, the machine will give you two tickets. From there you'll need to feed it to the ticket machine at the same time :)
Thank you! Your videos are so helpful with your step by step instructions!
Glad it helps 😁
Thank you for this great info. Now i have confident to travel with my daughter this coming of November.
Glad it helped 😁
Hello I am planning to get the icoca card at kansai airport, so to travel on this train, once I get an icoca card then I need to go to the green ticket machine that you showed?
yes, because you will still need a limited express ticket to ride the Haruka :)
@@EnjoyingLife. Ok I see thank you!
soooooooooooo detailed....more travel guides pls =)
Thanks 😁
Hello! If we have the JR Kansai Wide Area Pass, are there any addtl fees we need to pay? Thanks!
Based on my research, the Haruka Limited Express is part of the JR Kansai Wide pass, so no additional charges are needed :)

So, the basic fare ticket and express train ticket to Kyoto go hand in hand, right? What happens if you only purchase the basic fare ticket?
you can't ride the Haruka, there is a personell roaming the train checking for tickets.
Where do I buy an IC card, is there a machine nearby?
you should be able to buy an IC Card from a machine or inside a train office.
Is the non-reserved seats are first come first served basis? If passengers fill-up all the seat so I have to stand all the way from Kansai airport till Kyoto?
yes, first come first served.
When you purchase a one way ticket, do two tickets come out? Or is there another ticket you have to get in order to feed the tickets into the machine?
Hello, if you choose to get the option limited express ticket + basic fare ticket, you should get 2 tickets from the machine. 😀
👍clear and simple
Thanks 🙃
When you say feed both tickets into the machine, is that because if you got both ways, ie a return ticket to Kyoto and Back to Kansai?
the machine won't accept just the express ticket, you'll need to insert it with the fair ticket at the same time.
I see, thank you so much. Great informative video. We are coming over from Europe this summer.
can we buy online ticket for the haruka line from kansai to kyot (and vice verse)
Yes, I tried and booked once thru klook, it worked out fine.
Hi, is the immigration located in the first floor? So, if I go to the train station for JR for the Haruka ticket, I need to go to the second floor and go outside?
yes, just like how it's shown on the video 😁
What is the last train from Kansai Airport to Kyoto?
Hello, I'm not sure as I haven't experienced it before, but my family arrived around 10:30pm at Kansai airport and they had to hurry to catch the airport bus from the airport to Kyoto station.
@@EnjoyingLife. Do i have purchase the ticket before arriving? Or any website that i can purchase ticket in advance?
@@edkhoo8238 I once bought a ticket in advance with Klook, but you can always buy it on the day itself if you have enough time.
I don’t understand why there should be two tickets. Is it for the return ticket when you go back to Kansai airport? Or is for one way to Kyoto?
If we buy a ticket in Klook app, i think they are only selling a base fare.. do we still need to buy another ticket in kansai airport for limited express train (non stop)?
It includes the express fare, you'll be using a machine by the station entrance and a ticket will be released for a non reserved seat, I was sceptical at the beginning as well, but I tried it and I got in.
You'll just show the ticket to the staff, it's not for the machine.
there is a more detailed instruction on the klook app for it 😁
Can we get in JR Haruka just only tap icoca card?
No, you'll need an additional Express Ticket for the Haruka aside from the Fair Ticket.
you can pair:
Fair Ticket + Express Ticket
or
IC Card + Express Ticket
:)
Hi, how can I get the express ticket only? I have an Icoca. Is it from the same machine?
is there toiletin the train
Yes :)
2-tickets option looks confusing to me
I know right? 😆
You said to feed both tickets, but you just feed one.
Hello, I had a JR Pass that's why you only saw 1 ticket, if you followed the instructions as stated in the video, the machine will give you two tickets.
From there you'll need to feed it to the ticket machine at the same time :)
