Hi Thanh,

Basically the JR Pass covers all JR Train lines throughout Japan, in addition it is valid on a limited amount of other transport methods. These include local JR Busses and the JR Ferry to Miyajima. I would recommend reading this page for the exact validity.

We have some great resources got get you an idea what is covered. For instance: this interactive map which shows you exactly all train lines that you can travel on, in addition we have a nice section of travel tips to get your started.

I hope this helps!
Daniel

Hi there,

The JR Pass is valid on all, expect for the NoHi bus, which is a company different from JR. Here normal tickets will be required.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Meaning the 7 days pass will not cover the Nohi bus.

So only Takayama-Hokuriku Area pass will include Nohi Bus?
