Route that is NOT covered by JR Pass

Hi Tami,

I checked your route, and the only parts not covered by the JR Pass would be the bus from Takayama - Shirakawago and back, and part of the route to Kawaza, from Ito station to Kawazu on the Izukyu railway line.

You can find more details about Shirakawago here.

You may also be interested in our Shimoda Guide this explains how to use the Train to Shimoda. The same applies to Kawazu, which is just one station away!

Hope this helps!
