BESTWhen you scan the QR code, a ticket will appear, which says that it is for unreserved seats and that you can choose a reserved seat. If you put the ticket back into the machine, it will change to a mode that issues jizo stone. There are many people who just ride non-reserved seats, so please choose all reserved seats and move comfortably.

Ticket exchange is now possible at Kansai Airport's white ticket machines
It used to be possible only at green ticket machines, but now it is also possible to exchange tickets at white ticket machines. Please note that it is only possible in the direction from the airport to the city center.
*If you want to know more about how to exchange? Learn more
*When moving from the airport to Kobe and Nara, you need a ticket issued by a green ticket machine because you will need to change to a local train at Osaka Station/Tennoji Station in the middle. Please do not issue a ticket using a white ticket machine.
How to take the Haruka train from Kansai Airport
If you have exchanged your ticket, now it is time to actually board it. You may be worried whether you will be able to catch the Haruka Express train from the airport in Korea. However, the Haruka Express train boarding area is connected to the airport, so anyone can find it without difficulty.
Check the movement order:
1. Take the escalator at the airport to the 2nd floor.
2. Check Gate B on the 2nd floor
3. Check the ticket gate for the Haruka Limited Express train to Kyoto
4. Insert your Haruka Express ticket into the ticket gate and you're done!
Is this a reserved seat?
Haruka Express train tickets can be used for both reserved and non-reserved seats. Reserved seats can be reserved at the ticket machine or Midori-no-Madoguchi . Non-reserved seats can be boarded on-site in the 'Non-Reserved 5-6' car . This is a space where non-reserved seat holders can sit freely, so board here.
Once you are seated, a flight attendant will come to you after departure and ask you to show your ticket. All you have to do is show your ticket.
Can I ride the Hello Kitty train?
Recently, the Haruka Express has undergone a large-scale Hello Kitty wrapping, transforming even its exterior to become even more attractive. So now it is called the Hello Kitty Haruka Express! It is a Hello Kitty world both inside and out, so it is great for taking pictures.
Small Haruka Express Train Tips
I'll introduce some useful tips for the Haruka Express.
First, the chair moves by stepping on the lever at the bottom and turning it. You can sit facing each other even if you sit in front or behind. There is also a separate space for luggage, so I recommend putting your luggage in before you sit down.
Wait! Did you check the Haruka Combo Pass?
Wag sells a variety of combo passes that include the Haruka Limited Express. If you need the items anyway, the combo pass is cheaper than buying them individually!
