Thank you for helping me
I have purchased a 14 day pass and arriving in Tokyo on April 25 and hoping to see Cherry blossoms in and around Hirosaki but because of Golden Week accommodation is scarce in the area so currently I have secured accommodation in Odate.
My planned itinerary is
Tokyo 2 nights
On April 27 I plan to travel to Shen Aomori stop for a meal and explore Gappo Park (cherry blossoms) and then travel to Odate for 2 nights accommodation
On April 28 I will travel return to Hirosaki for day at Castle and grounds
On April 29 I wish to reach Kanazawa by most scenic train trip I can using JR Pass.
On May 1 I will travel to Hida via Toyama
On May 2 I will travel from Hida to Takayama
On May 4 I will travel to Kyoto
On May 8 i will travel from Kyoto to Haneda Airport Tokyo

I would appreciate greatly your assistance with travel routes from Odate to Kanazawa on April 29. I would like to balance a scenic route with time taken if possible
Kind regards Janeen

Hi Janeen,

The route Odate - Kanazawa is quite long, even when using the Super Fast Shinkansen. That said, the Tohoku Shinkansen line going down to Tokyo has some really nice views along the way of the Tohoku Mountain range and inland. From Tokyo, I would use the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Kanazawa. This together will be a long trip of over 6 hours already.

The alternative is via Takayama which is very scenic but you already take this route to Kyoto, so that's covered :)

Hope this helps,
Daniel
