Planning my first trip to Japan end of Dec.
Rough plan of my itineary is
Day 1 Osaka (tuoch down 9.30pm)
Day 2 Osaka
Day 3 Osaka
Day4 Osaka
Day 5 Takayama or Kanazawa
Day 6 Shirakawago
Day 7 Takayama or Kanazawa
Day 8 Kyoto
Day 9 Kyoto
Day 10 Kyoto
Which pass should I get in this case? Can I use the 7 days JR pass and when should I activate for best coverage? Or should I be getting the Takayama-Hokuriku Area pass? understand this is a 5 days pass and I am not sure how to use it for best coverage.
Should I be going to Takayama or Kanazawa first coming from Osaka?
