Hello,

I need some help with making sure everything is as I think it is.

I will be in Kobe and want to go to Kyoto and Tokyo. Seems like Hokuriku Arch Pass is the way to go. My questions are:
1.- Can I get on the train in Kobe instead of Osaka (or from wherever it starts)?
2.- Can I then use the pass to go from Tokyo to Haneda airport?
3.- The pass doesnt give me access to the Tokyo transportation system, right?
4.- The 7 consecutive days start counting from when I first use the pass?
5.- Is there a map with the stations marked? It has been really hard to find them through googling.
6.- Can I get the indications and instructions on how to use the pass in Spanish? I am from Chile.

Thanks for answering all my questions!

Hi there,

1.) Yes, you could use local trains between Osaka and Kobe.

2.) Yes, using the Tokyo Monorail.

3.) You can use local JR lines in Tokyo, such as the JR Yamanote line and JR Chuo lines.

4.) Yes, note that the first day is counted as a full day.

5.) You can find one here.

6.) I do not have any Spanish documentation I'm afraid. Other than what we have on the product page. Languages that support is given for this pass by JR include English, Japanese, Chinese and Korean.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
