Buying Koyasan World Heritage Tickets

I'd like to buy the Koyasan World Heritage Ticket a few days before my trip so that I can take an early train. (I'm not sure of when the ticket offices open.) From reading (very) old post, I believe advance purchase is fine, right? I'll be in the Namba area and would like to buy it there at the Nankai Railway ticket office. However, I can't find clear information on where exactly the ticket office is. Most of the stations in Japan look huge and confusing - a lot of nuance between different rail lines and subways that have the same name. Where exactly can I find the ticket office, please? Thanks!

1. Re: Buying Koyasan World Heritage Tickets

You can buy the pass at any ticket window at Nankai Namba Station. Here is a map. You may want to go to the Information Center and ask if you're not sure:

Remember that Namba has 6 stations in one complex so you need to go to Nankai Station which is at the South end of the complex:

I also saw the option of buying the Koyasan world Heritage tickets online at discounted price thru smart phones from https://www.howto-osaka.com/en/ticket/koyasan/. Anyone tried it before, is it safe and also will it give same benefits or different? Will it give access to Limited Express Train to/ fro Gokurakubashi??

I have never used that site to purchase anything though it's probably reputable.

You can also check to see if Klook sells it. Klook is reputable.

Hi!

I'm also interested to know if this online ticket site for Koyasan is legit. Seems ok but would be good to know if anyone has used it before?

Thanks!

The site linked in # 3 is an official site of Nankai Railway that operates trains to Koyasan. It should be 100% legit.

You don't need a ticket to enter Koyasan.
