Hi Daniel-san!

I would like to get your advice for my trip since it is my first time to Japan. I will be travelling on late April. Here is my itinerary :

day 1 : KIX - kyoto
day 2 : kyoto
day 3 : kyoto - kanazawa - toyama
day 4 : toyama - shirakawa-go
day 5 : shirakawa-go - takayama
day 6 : takayama - toyama
day 7 : toyama - tateyama - nagano/ogizawa
day 8 : nagano - koyasan
day 9 : koyasan
day 10 : koyasan - osaka
day 11 : osaka
day 12 : osaka - KIX

what I want to ask is, what pass should I use and when to activate. And do you have recommendation for the itinerary?

Thank you very much! :)

Hi Santy-san!

I think the best pass to look at would be the 7-day Japan Rail Pass and use it for travel from Day 3 to Day 9. Here is where the best savings can be made using the pass. Do note that the bus to Shirakawago is not included in the pass, there may also be an extra fee for Tateyama, are you planning to do the Alpine route?

Kind regards,
Daniel
