JR or Jr East pass

Hi there,

Toyama is not covered by any JR East pass (you can only go as far as Joetsumyogyo station).

As such, I recommend using a 7-day JR Pass. You can certainly make savings using the JR Pass and it is worth using one. Especially since the JR Pass will also allow you to take the Shinkansen to Hakone, Toyama and go back either through Takayama or Matsumoto from the Alpine route.

Do note that some of your travel is not included in the JR Pass, this would be local travel in Hakone, the Alpine route and bus to Shirakawa-go.

Kind regards,
Daniel
