Hi Daniel-san:

I am reading that in Kanazawa "there is a JR bus line that connects Kanazawa Station via Korinbo with Kenrokuen and is covered by the Japan Rail Pass".

Would you be able to tell me which bus numbers are those covered by the JR Pass and if there is a schedule for them in English someplace?

I could not find an Email address anywhere for the Tourist Office in Kanazawa and I would like to be able to learn more about these buses since I will have a JR Pass when there. I was just reading that most buses stop running early....

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks, Daniel. Since I ask the question, I also learned that in Kanazawa: "JR buses are usually blue. Even if you are looking at the color of the bus, you should look for the company name on the bus if possible (since some special busses may be in different color). Your JR pass can be used only on JR busses which run everyday. JR has weekend special bus called "Machi-bus" which you cannot use the JR pass on, but the buss fare is only 100 yen.".

It seems that there are no bus numbers. I hope that the JR logo is in English and that I will be able to figure out somehow where these buses go, the stations and their schedule, to take advantage of my JR Pass. I wish this info was available someplace in English for JR Pass users.
