Can I use this pass on Kintetsu Limited Express trains?

No. The pass covers standard Kintetsu and Iga-Tetsudo services only. If you want to travel on a Limited Express (tokkyū) service, you will need to purchase a separate seat reservation ticket at the station.

How does a 'day' of validity work — is it 24 hours from first use?

No. One day runs from the first train or bus you board to the last service of that calendar day, regardless of the time you first tap in. If you activate in the evening, the pass is still only valid until the last train that night.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Yes — a full refund is available provided the pass has not been activated and you cancel at least 24 hours before your selected travel date.

I'm buying passes for two people. Can I purchase them in one transaction?

You can, but be aware that all passes bought in a single transaction activate simultaneously. If you want to activate them on different days, purchase each pass in a separate transaction.

Do I need to print my ticket?

No. The pass is entirely digital. Screenshots and printed copies are not accepted — you must show the live 'Use' screen from the link sent to you.

Is this pass available to Japanese citizens?

No. The Kintetsu Rail Pass is exclusively for non-Japanese citizens. You may be asked to show proof of eligibility.

Know before you go

A smartphone with a reliable internet connection is required to activate and display your pass — download any offline content you need before boarding.

Screenshots and printed copies of the pass are not valid; only the live web screen is accepted.

Passes purchased together in one transaction will all activate at the same time — buy separately if you intend to use them on different dates.

Routes, timetables and attraction discounts are subject to change without notice; check the official Kintetsu website before travel.

Children under 6 travel free; no separate child pass is needed for this age group.

The 5-day pass counts calendar days of use, not 120 consecutive hours — plan accordingly.
