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

Compare it with the Mini pass if you will take Haruka as well as local JR trains. Choose the number of consecutive days you need and check that every planned route is inside the area.

In Kansai · 関西, the official 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. It also marks Nagahama · 長浜 and Kameoka · 亀岡. These are JR routes; a city name on the diagram does not include its subway or private railways.

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.

Each adult or child pass holder may bring up to two children aged 1–5 free. A child pass is needed for the third or any additional child, for a child occupying a separate reserved seat, or for a child travelling alone. Infants under one year travel free.

Validity is counted in consecutive calendar days, from 04:00 on the first day to 24:00 on the last day, Japan time. It is not a series of 24-hour periods from activation. Press Use ticket after 04:00 on the day you intend to start.

If the pass expires while you are already on a train on the final day, the basic-fare validity continues into the next day until you leave the station. Covered train charges continue only until you get off that train. This exception does not let you start a new journey after midnight.

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.

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.
