Dear Calvin,

In terms of planning, the JR Pass is counted in full days and the first day is counted as a full day. Meaning that if you activate the JR Pass on the 19th, then the last day of the 7 day JR Pass is the 25th. You'd have to be back in Nagoya by then or the trip could cost a lot.

If that does not work, then your best option is to go with a 14 day JR Pass and buy a one way pass for over the Alpine route.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
