Hi, our itenary is as follow

Day 1: Kansai Airport - Osaka
Day 2: Osaka - Matsumoto - Toyama
Day 3: Toyama - Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route - Nagano - Kanazawa
Day 4: Kanazawa - Shirakawago
Day 5: Kanazawa - Hida Takayama
Day 6: Osaka

From our itenary above, is our itenary reasonable ?
Should we buy JR Pass ?
Is the JR Pass included Limited Express Wide View trains & World Heritage bus for Shirakawago ?

Thank you.

Hi there,

Your itinerary looks good to me. The JR Pass covers the Wide View train but not the bus to Shirakawago. Looking at rail passes, I do think that the 7 day Japan Rail Pass is the best option. As there as no other pass that covers anywhere near enough of your trip.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel.. thanks for the advice.
We have changes in our itenary:

On day 5, we would like to go to Kamikochi. Stay a nkght there and have day trip there. Then only we head to airport. Our flight is at 10pm. Do you think it is possible ?

Is this itenary okay?
Where is the nearest place for me to go from Kanazawa to Kamikochi ?

Hi there,

From what airport would you be flying. With a 10 pm flight it would likely be no problem but you'd need to plan it carefully and leave plenty of time in case you would have a delay.

The easiest way to Kamikochi is to take a bus from Matsumoto or Takayama.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
