If I already have a JR Pass do I have to pay extra for travelling on the Wide-View train from Nagoya to Takayama and returning back from Takayama to Nagoya?

Hi John,

The Wide-View train from Nagoya to Takayama and back is fully covered with the JR Pass. You may want to reserve your seat in advance before you board (reserved seats are free with the JR Pass).

Hope you have a great trip!

How do I go to Lake Ashi from Tokyo. With a JR Pass I can travel to Odawara by Shinkansen.
What about the rest of the journey to Lake Ashi and cross the lake by boat. Which trains, ropeway,
bus and boat must I take and do I have to pay or do my JR Pass allow me to travel free without extra charge?

Hi John,

For getting up to Hakone, you'll need to use the Odakyu company series of lines. They offer a pass called the Hakone Free Pass that offers free travel across Hakone up to the lakes and so on. You can purchase this pass on arrival at Odawara, and learn more about it here. As these lines are non-JR you will not be able to use your JR pass I'm afraid.

Hope this helps!

Other than the JR trains, what are the mode of transportation can a JR Pass holder be entitled
to use without havinmg to pay extra charge in cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima Kyoto, Kobe,
Nagoya, Takayama. Are the JR Buses, Tram cars etc have the Jr Logo on the vehicles for the
information of a JR Pass holder? Is there a website to give me this information inm each major city in Japan?
Thank you.

Hi John - The JR Pass entitles you to travel on many JR buses and the Miyajima ferry. You can find full validity information here. If the service you are thinking of is not listed here as an exception you are free to use it with the JR Pass.

I hope this helps!
