Hello Daniel,

I am checking the trains in Hyperdia regarding 3 trips that I will be doing in November, but I do not think I am finding the ones covered by JRP. I was wondering if you could help me with this and tell me the exact routes that I should take:

1) From Hakone to Kyoto
2) From Kyoto to Hiroshima
3) From Hiroshima to Kanazawa

Thank you very much,
Ana

Hi Ana,

1.) For Hakone, use the stationed called Odawara, this is the Shinkansen station and is covered by the JR Pass.

2.) You can use the Shinkansen between Kyoto and Hiroshima, you may have a transfer at Shin-Osaka station, depending on what time of day you travel.

3.) Take the Shinkansen from Hiroshima to Shin-Osaka, and then from there the Thunderbird express to Kanazawa.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
