I will be travelling around Japan for 3+ weeks in May and am wanting to some advice: Would I be able to travel easily between Hakuba (Happo Pond) and Nachi Falls within a reasonable amount of time by train? Am finding HyperDia somewhat confusing, and as I have never been to Japan, the rail sysem is going to be very fresh for me. Will a JR Pass cover the lines between these two points? HyperDia first search results seems to indicate that there is a night train to Shingu, LTD. EXP (WIDE VIEW) NANKI 7. with the next train leaving around 6 the next morning. Will I be able to crash on a couch at the station until such a time?
Am looking on leaving Hakuba around about mid-afternoon to go down to Nachi. Any advise would be most appreciated
