Itinerary

Hi there,

Shirakawa-go is the only point in your journey where there are no JR lines running. Instead, you can use an express bus between Takayama - Shirawago and Shirakawago - Kanazawa. This bus is run by Nohi bus, and not included in the JR Pass.

The rest of your trips is covered by the JR Pass.

Hope this helps :)

Thank you! One last question! How long in advance should I buy My JR Pass?

Hi there,

I would recommend doing so a couple of weeks ahead of time. This way you are sure it arrives on time, and can focus on more important matters, like planning what fun places in Japan you want to visit :)
