Hi I am arriving at Osaka on 22 October and would like to travel to Tateyama Kurobe Alpine using this ticket.
However I am confused with this ticket departure.

Day 1
Osaka (Kosei/Hokuriku Line) Nagoya (JR Ltd. Exp. Wide View Hida) Takayama
Can I use this ticket to depart from Osaka or Kyoto?

Day 1

Question: can I get on board at any station in Osaka area eg Namba Station?

Remark: I understand that the bus fare is not included in the Osaka Alpine Ticket.

Day 3

Remark: I understand that the bus fare between Gokayama and Takayama is not included in the Osaka Alpine Ticket.

Hi there!

I assume that you mean this Kurobe Alpine Ticket?
Actually I had not heard of it before you posted about it here, I believe that you could buy it at Osaka station and go from there.

Unfortunately I don't know much more about it that you do, so I would recommend reading the Ticket Page carefully because it lists all places covered. Matsumoto is part of the coverage area so I do think that you can use it to travel back from there.

Even though this is only a little bit of information, I hope this helps!
