Hi, I am planning to visit Japan in late November. I already booked a return flight via Kansai Airport and 3 nights stay in Kyoto. I'm thinking to get JR 7 Days Pass, probably the route from Osaka-Kyoto-Tokyo. But, at the same time I want to visit Takayama as well. So, may I know whether it is possible to use the said pass to Takayama? Or I have to pay additional fare. Below is my itinerary :
Day 1 - from Kansai Airport to Kyoto
Day 2 - Kyoto
Day 3 - Day trip to Tokyo as I plan to visit few places only (Shibuya, Harajuku, Asakusa). Back to Kyoto
Day 4 - Kyoto to Takayama
Day 5 - Takayama to Osaka
Day 6 - Osaka
Day 7 - Fly out from Kansai Airport.
I have hear about Takayama-Hokuriku Area Pass. But, I will have to drop Tokyo which I am okay. But, my concern is this doesn't allow me to ride Tokaido Shinkansen which can be time-saving for my trip. Do advise, if there is alternate route.
Thanks.
