Hello - I've pretty much decided to buy 4 separate tickets, simply because I want to be sure I get a reserved seat and I want to be in Emerald class. It's also very difficult for me to determine on Hyperdia which of the routes I can actually take with a JR Pass. Part of my issue is that I don't want to transfer more than once and I do want to experience the bullet train at least once.
Would you confirm that for me? Here is my itinerary:
All trains I want to take are direct or one transfer only and would leave around 9:00a.
April 25 Tokyo Station to Takayama
April 27 Takayama to Kyoto
April 30 Kyoto to Kobe
May 2 Kobe to Tokyo Station
Thank you in advance for your help. :)
