JR whole Japan rail pass 7 days for 12 days itinerary

Hi there,

The JR Pass covers travel to Takayama & Kanazawa. However, to reach Shirakawa-go extra travel by express bus is required, and this is not included in the JR Pass.

We have a detailed write-up on how to travel to Shirakwago here:

To get the best use out of your 7-day JR Pass, start using it from day 6, when you travel to Kyoto.

Hope this helps :)

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your reply and information on how to travel to Shirakawago.

Can I use JR pass to Nara from Kyoto, Kobe from Osaka?
I haven't workout the route to all the places that I want to visit yet. But just want to make sure I fully utilize the JR pass.

Thank you in advance Daniel

Hi again :)

Yes, travel between all these places is covered by the JR Pass, and JR has direct connections between all these cities.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Can I make reservations seats for all the JR station that I am going to take base on my itinerary on the fitst day when I exchange for my JR pass?

How if we miss the boarding time that we have reserved?

Thank you 😊
