Hello<
My husband and I will be traveling in 2 weeks to Japan I need advise on what ticketsand/or pass to buy. We will fly from LAX to Osaka the 9-24stay in Osaka 2 nights. On the 26th we will go to Kinosaki. On the 27th we will go from Kinosaki to Kyoto via Osaka.The 28th we go to Magome via Nagoya and Nakatsugawa. The 29th we go from Nakatsugawa to Takayama via Nagoya (Hida wide view express). The first day in Takayama 9/30 we are taking the bus to do the multiple tram/bus etc day in the alps.On 10/1 we drive to Gokayama sleep there and drive on 10/2 to Kanazawa. On 10/3 we take the shinkansen from Kanazawa to Tokyo and the same day we go to Narita airport to leave at 9 pm.
Because of the driving portion a 7 day pass is not enough.
We want to take the bullet trains wherever available.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Marta,

I looked at different options but nothing really matches your itinerary. I think the best option would simply be buying normal rail and bus tickets as you travel.

Kind regards,
Daniel
