Hi, we will be going to japan in October. We will buy a jr pass. I wonder how to get from Takayama to Hakone, whether the whole journey is covered by the pass, and how to travel then from Hakone to Tokyo Shinjuku.Also please help about traveling from Kanazawa to Takayama, stopping at shirakawa Go. Thanks a lot!

Hi there,
The Shinkansen station for Hakone is called Odawara. To get there from Takayama, take the Wide View Hida Express to Nagoya station and from there a Shinkansen train to Odawara. The route is fully covered with the JR Pass, though you will need additional travel within Hakone. You can take a Shinkansen from Odawara to Tokyo station and then a local train from there to Shinjuku.
For Kanazawa - Shirakawa-go - Takayama, take an express bus. They depart from Kanazawa station but are not covered by the JR Pass.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
