Hi,

Will be coming from Osaka to Takayam/Kanazawa (not yet decided) then to Shirakawago (Nohi Bus).

Next day, after a half a day trip at shirakawago, I will then take the bus from Shirakawago to Takayama and spend the evening there. I plan to take an overnight bus back to Tokyo and these are the routes i'll be taking:

1: Takayama to Nagoya

Taking the Hida Takayama bus which runs by the JR Tokai Bus 2: Take the bus from Nagoya to Tokyo
http://www01.jrtbinm.co.jp/en/tokyo_night/index.html
Taking the Dream Mikawa 2 which runs by JR Kanto Bus

I read online that both buses are usable with the JR rail pass. May i confirm if the JR rail pass covers both that cost and if it does, how do i ensure a seat reservation on them without paying extra for the single ride ticket.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Some years ago these were indeed included but I'm afraid they no longer are included as you can simply use the much faster Shinkansen trains instead using the JR Pass.

If you do wish to travel by these buses, then it would be better to buy normal tickets.

Kind regards,
Daniel
