Hi. Please let me know what's the best route using JR pass for the following:
- Shinimamiya to Otsuki
- Otsuki to Hakuba
- Hakuba to Heiwadai
- Heiwadai to Tokyo Station (also, can I use my JR pass if from Tokyo Station I want to go to Ginza, or is it within walking distance)?
- Heiwadai to Asakusa (is it right that I can only use my JR pass up to Ueno and then pay an additional charge from Ueno to Asakusa)
- Odaiba to Haneda
- Haneda to Gotemba
- Heiwadai to Sakuragicho
- Heiwadai to Haneda
I'm particularly confused about the use of Limited Express trains or any other trains that do not have "JR" in their names but are still covered by JR pass (for example Tokyo Monorail and Limited Express Kaiji 109).
When I use Hyperdia, for example, if the train icon is GREEN, does it automatically mean it's covered by JR Pass?
Could you teach me how to tell the difference between JR and non-JR trains if there's no "JR" in the name?
Thank you so much!
