Hi guys,

My wife and I will be spending our 4 Days and 3 nights in Kansai region before us heading back to Toronto. We are wondering if any member can assist us in regard to the local transportation and directions…...

We are arriving in KIX and will stay at:

1st Night: Nikko Nara
2nd Night: Westin Kyoto
3rd Night: Sheraton Miyako Osaka

I read from the Nikko Hotel website that the easiest way to connect us from KIX to our 1st hotel in Nara is by the Limousine Bus from KIX to Nara JR (will cost approx 2000 yen per pax each way).

My questions:
Is there any easy accessible public transport that can take us:

‘From’ Nikko Nara ‘to’ Westin Kyoto,

And

‘From’ Westin Kyoto ‘to’ Sheraton Miyako Osaka


Or will it be easier for us if we just renting a car with a GPS and drive ourselves during our stay????

and How expensive are approximately the cost for a taxi rides for these routes?
