The three-day ticket is a great value. On the first day, we went from the airport to Kyoto Arashiyama, went to Nagaoka Kyoto's Kokoji Temple to enjoy the maple leaves, and went back to Umeda for shopping. On the second day, we went back and forth from Osaka to Kobe, and on the third day we went to Osaka Castle, and then go to airport
