Hi all,
I know is kinda early to plan the trip for April 17 but understand tat April is the golden month for Japan hence wish to get the tickets way in advance.
Below is my preliminary itinerary for the trip and would appreciate it if you could give me some advice on it ^^:-
13 April Osaka
14 April Kyoto
15 April Kyoto
16 April Kyoto/ can side track to Nara
17 April Kanazawa
18 April Kanazawa to shiragawa go back to Takayama (overnight) (wish to check is there any English website for Nohi bus booking?)
19 April Takayama to Nagoya (main focus is tateyama, is there a way to travel from takayama to tateyama?or shall i stop by at Nogoya?)
20 April Nagoya to Tateyama Alpine back to Kanazawa/Toyama (overnight) (Do I need to do any advance booking for the alpine route? Any English website I can do the booking?)
21 April Osaka
22 April bye
I also wish to check will it still possible to see Sakura when I reach Japan?
Will the JR regional pass for takayama hokuriku pass sufficient to cover my 17 to 21 Apr transport? Is it worth to get the pass or are there any other options?
Any other place that you all recommend me to stop by? My group is form up by my parent and relatives [5 elderly at the 60+ ages and 3 youngster at 20+ ages], we prefer scenery and sight viewing.
Would appreciate your advice.
Thanks,
Zhao
