Reply To: Osaka-Kyoto stay
Hi Maria,
I guess it depends on what station you stay near in Osaka. It is only 30 min (and 560yen) by train from Osaka Stn to Kyoto Stn. So, totally possible.
I think the JR pass will mostly be related to which airport you land at. If you come into Narita or Haneda and then travel to Osaka/Kyoto, then it will be worth it. If you land in Osaka (Kansai Intl), then the JR Pass will likely not be worth it if you stay in the Kansai area.
