Visit Japan

Hi there,

First off, you can use the JR Pass to travel to most of these places and will cover about 95% of your trip when talking about distace.

That said, there are some area's that will need additional travel. These are:

The Alpine route, the route itself is not covered.

Travel to/from Shirakawa-go. The bus to and from Shirakawa-go is not included in the JR Pass.

Hakone/Kawaguchiko, there are no JR lines in this area and other local travel is required. For more details see our Fuji blog post.

Kind regards,
Daniel
