WEST QR Kansai Area Pass: 1–4 days, QR gates and HARUKA seats

Compare it with the Mini pass if you will take Haruka as well as local JR trains. The operator's main-route diagram shows Kansai-airport · 関西空港, Osaka · 大阪, Kyoto · 京都, Nara · 奈良, Himeji · 姫路 and Wakayama · 和歌山, with Nagahama · 長浜 and Kameoka · 亀岡 at the outer edges. These are JR routes, not blanket coverage of city subways or private railways. Check your exact stations on the official diagram and choose the number of consecutive days you need.

You need a passport issued by a government other than Japan and Temporary Visitor status. Carry your passport and proof of status during use. Japanese nationals are not eligible.

The table shows official JPY prices checked on 6 October 2026. Children are aged 6–11 on the payment date. Check the seller’s currency, selling price and exact option conditions separately.

One adult or child pass holder may bring up to two children aged 1–5 without a child ticket. A child ticket is required from the third child onward, or if a child occupies their own reserved seat or travels alone. Children under one year old travel free.

The pass is valid for the chosen number of consecutive calendar days. Its first day begins at 04:00 and its last day ends at 24:00; validity is not counted in 24-hour periods from activation. On your first travel day, tap ‘Use ticket’ after 04:00.

Open the user website through the overseas agency voucher’s link. Register your account and ticket, then start use on the actual travel day to display the boarding QR. No paper-pass exchange is required. You need an internet-connected smartphone to show the live ticket; a companion's phone can show your ticket if needed.

Select Link this ticket to your account on the voucher. For a new account, enter your email and password, then the email verification code, which is valid for five minutes. If you already have an account, sign in, check the ticket number and account, then select Register. Confirm that the ticket appears under Tickets and bookmark the login page. Registration does not start use; do not press Use ticket before your first travel day.

Eligible local, rapid and special rapid trains’ Ordinary Car unreserved seats and Haruka unreserved seats are included. Other limited expresses require a separate limited-express ticket within the area. Paid seats such as A-Seat also cost extra, and the Shinkansen requires entirely separate tickets. The official English diagram simplifies the main routes. Area and Mini have different boundaries: use your purchased product’s map.

Book dedicated Haruka seats up to twice through the WEST QR user website, from 30 days before travel until three minutes before departure. Station counters and machines cannot book these seats. If dedicated seats are full, choose another train’s dedicated seats or an unreserved seat.

If you have not pressed Use ticket by three minutes before your reserved Haruka departs, the seat booking is cancelled automatically. If you miss the train, you can use an eligible service’s unreserved seat. The difference between reserved and unreserved seating is not refunded.

Before starting use, contact the purchasing agency within the voucher’s usability period. Fees and conditions depend on the seller; JR stations do not refund these tickets. The product-specific Japanese rules exclude refunds after use starts and for service cancellations or delays.
