Hi Daniel, good day to you!
my family plans to visit Tokyo in December for 9 days trip.
4 nights in Hakuba n 4 night in Tokyo.
1. 7 days Jr pass is worth while to purchase?
2. How to reach Hakuba by Jr only?
3. Can Jr pass Hakuba bus service?

Hi there,

1.) A JR Pass is not worth it for only a return trip Tokyo - Hakuba - perhaps if you added more travel!

2.) Yes, there are a couple of direct trains directly from Shinjuku (JR), to Hakuba.

3.) The bus to Hakuba is not covered by the JR Pass.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi again,

1.) You can start in either direct, or anywhere on the route where the pass is valid.

2.) Yes

3.) Yes, on the local JR network, like the JR Yamanote line but likely not on stations outside central Tokyo.

Kind regards,
Daniel
