Hi there,

I checked both routes but they both work well. I don't think there is any difference except for personal preference. Personally I would go with Tokyo > kanazawa > shirakawago > takayama > nagoya > kyoto as you can ride the newly opened Hokuriku Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kanazawa.

As for Green Class, it certainly is nice to travel Green Class. Still there are plenty of seats in ordinary class and you don't need to upgrade just for securing a seat. Green Class is best if you love to travel is comfort and quiet.

Think the rest of the route looks very good!

Hope this helps,
Daniel
