Hi,

I will be traveling from Malaysia to Osaka, Kyoto and Shirakawa-go from 7th April to 15 April 2018.
Is JR pass "Takayama-Hokuriku Tourist pass" suitable for the above journey?
But they only offer for 5 days pass, is there any pass for 7 days?
When can I start to purchase it?

My itinerary as follows :
7th - Osaka (late flight, reaching Kansai airport at 9.20pm if no delay)
9th - Shirakawa-go
10th - Kyoto
15th - Kansai airport

What can you suggest?

Thank you

Katherine

Hello Katherine,

Yes, the Takayama-Hokuriku Area Pass would be a great choice for this route. You would make very good savings compared to purchasing normal tickets a-la-chart and the pass would cover your travel to Shirakawa-go and back. You could even swing by Takayama if you would like :)

The pass needs to be activated within 3 months after purchase, so you could buy it now.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
