My itinerary is as follow:
Day 1 : Arrive at Chubu Airport (Nagoya) early morning - Go to Matsumoto
Day 2 : Jigukodani - Matsumoto - Takayama
Day 3 : Shirakawago - Takayama
Day 4 : Takayama - Kyoto
Day 5 : Kyoto
Day 6 : Kyoto
Day 7 : Nara - Kobe
Day 8 : Osaka
Day 9 : Depart from KIX
From what I understand, there aren't any pass that will cover these three following destinations.
Going to Jigukodani - I will take Nagano Electric Railway.
- From Matsumoto to Takayama - I will take the Nohi Bus from Matsumoto to Takaya since it's the shortest way though there are actually train stations along the way but it will take like 5-6 hours.
- Going to Shirkawago - again .. only the Nohi Bus.
Apart from these three destinations, I'm at loss of what kind of pass I should be getting. Should I get JR West? Kansai Thru Pass? Kintetsu Rail Pass?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
