2 Nov Naoshima
3 Nov Takayama
4 Nov Takayama
5 Nov Kanazawa

Hi there,

I think the best option would be to buy a 7 day JR Pass from Nov 1st to Nov 7th and buy normal tickets from there. The Japan Rail Pass would give you good savings for this part but an Alpine route pass would not be a big help.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
