We will be travelling to Japan in Dec. Covering from Tokyo via Hokuriku to Osaka.
Will be spending some days in the Hokuriku area.
Thus, interested in this pass = Takayama-Hokuriku Area 5 day Pass.
Questions :
1) Will it cover the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Kanazawa to Tsuruga?
2) Will it cover the bus from Kanazawa to Shirakawago, as well as Takayama?
3) Will it cover the local buses in Shirakawago and Takayama?
4) Will it cover the Thunderbird from Tsuruga to Osaka?
5) Will it cover the JR lines in Osaka?
Thanks in advance !!
