I need your advice on which passes i should buy for the following itinerary. 6 of us will be travelling together from Oct 23 to Nov 2. On Nov 3, two people will depart by train for Kansai International Airport. On Nov 4, one person will depart by train for Kansai International Airport. The remaining 3 people will continue on their journey to Tokyo.
Oct 23 Osaka to Takamatsu (Shikoku)
Oct 24-27 from Takamatsu to Seto Islands (to visit Setouchi Triennale exhibitions held on islands in the Seto Inland Sea)
Oct 28 Takamatsu to Matsuyama (Shikoku)
Oct 29 Matsuyama to Okayama City
Oct 30 Okayama to Hiroshima City (round trip)
Oct 31 Okayama to Kanazawa City (Ishikawa)
Nov 01-02 Kanazawa
Nov 03 - 2 people will depart Kanazawa for Kansai International Airport. 4 people will stay in Kanazawa
Nov 04 - 1 person will depart Kanazawa for Kansai International Airport. 3 people will stay in Kanazawa
Nov 05 - 3 people will depart Kanazawa and would like to take the following itinerary:
Nov 05 Kanazawa to Unazuki Onsen Station
Nov 06 Stay in Unazuki
Nov 07 Unazuki Station to connect with the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route to Ogizawa and continue to Omachi
Nov 08 Stay in Omachi
Nov 09 Shinano-Omachi to Karuizawa
Nov 10 Karuizawa to Tokyo
I hope you can help me plan this rather complicated itinerary. I'm thinking of using the Setouchi Area Pass and the JR Pass (7-day Pass for 3 people, and 14-day Pass for 3 people).
Can the JR Pass be used for the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route?
Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it!
sincerely,
Dorothy Tan
