Combine train travel trip and hiking .

Hi there,

A 7 day JR Pass would be worth it if you use it from travel to Osaka, Himeji and are back in Tokyo before it expires. From your writing, this is not exactly clear to me but the pass would be useful if you fit this travel in a 7 day period.

Travel to Nara, Kyoto and the Nakasendo can also be done by JR.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Daniel San,

thanks for your reply;
since I have rearranged my trip.
Tokyo( Shinkansen -Kanazawa) ,(day trip Shirakawa -Go and Takayama,) or better 2 days ? Kanazawa (Shinkansen)- Osaka. + Himenji, Yoshino,Kyoto - End of 7 day pass. Pay extra to Nagoya.
Nakasendo-Kiso, Hike, then from Matsumoto pay extra to return to Tokyo.
in Tokyo buy a 72 hr train pass.

1) Is the time table good.
2) Is it worth buying the 7 day pass, even when I loose 2 days.
thank you
