Hello there,

With this route you could look at using a 7 day JR Pass. You would make good savings compared to normal tickets and the JR Pass would cover most of your travel.

I do advice checking up on the route from Kyoto - Shirakawago as it is quite a long trip, especially as a day trip.

Have a good trip!
Daniel

I like using the Fujikyu railway. They use atmospheric trains that remind me of times past. The view outside of the rolling landscape is also scenic.

That said, the bus may be a bit more convenient as there are no transfers along the way.
