[HD] KEIHAN’S 8000 SERIES PREMIUM CAR IN 2023, Osaka Train Daypass 2024/25 Options, Kyoto and Osaka
Hello, and welcome back to the channel!
In this video, we will be having a look at the KEIHAN 8000 series Premium Car as we take a ride from Osaka-Yodoyabashi to Kyoto-Demachiyanagi. In 2024, the Japan Rail Pass has lost favourability among tourists, leading some to rely instead on the 2-day or 3-day Osaka Private Railway Pass. In 2024/2025, there are two options that are valid on the Osaka Private Railway Pass: Hankyu’s PRIVACE product, and Keihan’s PREMIUM CAR product, which will be the subject of this video.
==Additional info==
-The OSAKA DAY PASS is only valid for the Base Fare. People taking the premium car need to purchase a seat reservation at the station platform.
-The SUPPLEMENT to ride the car between Osaka and Kyoto is 500 yen.
-Comparing JUST Hankyu and Keihan, Hankyu is around 100 yen cheaper with the base fare, but the supplemental fee to ride the premium car costs the same price. So if you have the 2-day or 3-day Osaka daypass, there will be no difference in cost.
-The Osaka 2-day or 3-day Osaka daypass is only available to foreign tourists who provide a passport at purchase.
