What kind of transportation is suitable, such as from Osaka or Kyoto to Okayama? 1.JR pass (if there is a round-trip fare from Kyoto, it is about 15000 yen)-needless to say, the most convenient transportation scheme is the Shinkansen (Yangshan new trunk line). If you don't use the JR pass, the one-way fare from New Osaka is 5350 yuan and from Kyoto is 6820 yuan. There is a NOZOMI train from Kyoto or Osaka to Okayama, and there is no need to transfer. -Ways to save money from Kyoto: Take a local train or an express train to Shin Osaka, where you can save about 1000 yuan by changing to Shinkansen. -JR PASS is fine. National pass. You can take the new Yangshan trunk line, but you can't take the wild train. You can still get to Okayama directly from Shin-Osaka by the Kwang or Koko train. From Kyoto, you need to change trains at Shin Osaka. -Since the round-trip fare to Okayama is only 65,438+00,000-65,438+04,000 won, and the national pass is at least 28,300 won, you should carefully study the fares of other travel plans. Is it cost-effective to use PASS? -There is also a "West Japan Yang Shan Pass" to choose from. A four-day pass of 20,000 won covers langxi Airport in Okayama, Osaka, and even Shimonoseki Hakata, Hiroshima, further west of Okayama. If you use this pass, you can only try to go to Okayama (not Hiroshima, etc. ). Probably not cost-effective. 2. Is there a 1 day pass-the main attractions in Okayama are Houyuan and Okayama City, which is enough for most of the day. It's only a few steps away from Okayama, so you basically don't need to use the local bus or one-day pass. 3. Is there a night train (from Osaka)? -Train: The last train of Shinkansen train from Shin-Osaka to Okayama is at 23: 05 (Nozomi) /22: 38 (Light)-Bus: operated by JR bus from West Japan, named "Jibei Express Osaka", the whole journey takes about 3 hours. There are only daytime trains. The information is here: kakuyasubus.jp/. kai _ chugoku/kibi _ express/index4. Other convenient and time-consuming ways-the fastest: Shinkansen (as mentioned above) starts at about 5,000 won 1 hour-the cheapest: JR bus (as mentioned above) starts at 3,000 won-the train is cheaper than Shinkansen: JR Yang Shan ordinary/express starts at 3,000 yuan. How many times do you want to transfer? If you can't catch the on-time express, it will take more than four hours at the earliest. It is not recommended unless you have mastered the fast transfer plan in advance. Last time I went to Okayama from Osaka and then transferred to Kurashiki, I bought JR West Rail 1 2000 yen a day, but I used lee who couldn't take the Shinkansen. Take the express train to Himeji, change to Shinkansen at Himeji, change to Okayama, and then change to the ordinary tram to Cangfu. It takes about10 yen to take the express train from Kyoto to Himeji, and the journey takes about10.5 hours (if you use the jr West Rail ticket to go back and forth on the same day, the left side will not be so flat). From Himeji to Okayama, it takes about 25 minutes to take the Shinkansen free seating system 3 130 yen, and it takes about 6,820 yen 1 hour 15 minutes to take the Shinkansen free seating system from Kyoto. If it is the same day round trip, Li's method will be flat to dd, and it will only take more than half an hour by bus. +3 130+3 130 = 8260 yen, saving 5380 yen. The whole Shinkansen system is 6820+6820 = 13640 yen.
