Check Itinerary

Hi there,

Tokyo - Kagoshima by train! That's a long one :) I've done it myself and is possible for sure. Be sure to bring a good book or two and plan a stop for lunch along the route.

For travel to Shirakawago, there are a few direct buses. By train you could first take a ltd. express train to Kanazawa and from there take the Nohi bus to Shirakawago.

Nikko is perfectly possible as a day trip to Tokyo, with the JR Pass you can even use the Shinkansen for part of the route.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Thank you very much.
Your advice is very helpful.
One more question: do you know when the train schedule will be for January 2026?
