Hello there.
Need some help here
I was thinking to buy takayama hokuriku pass but is it worth it to buy it as i will spend 1 day at takayama, shirakawago and kanazawa then go to kyoto from kanazawa. Spend 3 nights at kyoto and 5 nights at osaka. I would like to use the pass as much as i could if possible.
Could you suggest any pass that will benefit me the most?
Thank you in advance.
Takayama-shirakawago-kanazawa-kyoto-osaka

Hi there,
Yes, a Takayama Hokuriku Area Pass will be a good help here for travel to Takayama, Shirakawa-go, Kanazawa and Kyoto. From there local travel around Kyoto/Osaka won't cost a lot and normal tickets will work perfectly fine.
Hope this helps,
Daniel

If I'm not mistaken the pass cannot be use for local subways and buses as well as JR lines such as JR Nara line isn't it?
During my stay at Kyoto, which pass/ticket should i buy if my trip include these areas:
1) Arashiyama bamboo
2)Fushimi Inari Taisha
3) Higasyiyama
4) Kiyomuzedera
5) Kyoto Tower
6) Kawaramachi
7) Nishiki market
8) Gion
I will stay near Saiin Station.
Thanks
Hi there,
Correct, the pass is not valid on the subway and non-JR busses. Local JR lines between Kyoto, Osaka and Kansai Airport are also covered but not to Nara.
For travel around Kyoto, I would buy 500yen day tickets for the bus. The bus in Kyoto is by far the most flexible way to get around.
For details see:

Hope this helps,
Daniel

May I have the list of Local JR lines between Kyoto, Osaka that are covered by the Pass?
Is JR Kyoto Line one of them?
Thank you for your help
