For the second half of my 15 day travels I want to stay for 2 nights in Takayama and 3 nights in Kanazawa.
I will be coming from Osaka and ending up in Tokyo for the flight home.
I will have a JR pass but from the timetables I can't decide whether to go to takayama or Kanazawa first. Does it make any difference?
Thanks

Hi there,
There is not really a difference time wise. You could start at either Takayama or Kanazawa. The nicest route when it comes to trains would likely be Osaka - Takayama and then Kanazawa - Tokyo. This because the first route is very scenic to Takayama and you get the ride the brand new Hokuriku Shinkansen between Kanazawa and Tokyo.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
