Hi everyone,

I'm trying to figure out which train pass would be best for my upcoming trip to Japan.

Here’s a rough outline of our itinerary:

Arriving at Narita Airport, then traveling to Kanazawa.
We’ll do a 5-day trip to Kanazawa, Shirakawago, and Takayama. Finally, we’ll return to Tokyo from Takayama and use it as a base to visit Kamakura and hopefully we manage to get a view of Mount Fuji (either Hakone or Kawaguchiko).

I’d appreciate any advice, experiences, or suggestions on the best train passes for this itinerary. Thank you so much!

Hi there,

Because you'll be visiting Shirakawa-go and Hakone/Kawaguchiko, it may be worth considering purchasing your tickets individually - this is because none of those locations are directly accessible by JR trains and therefore the JR Pass - You may be interested in a 5-day Takayama-Hokuriku Area Pass that would cover Kanazawa, Shirakawa and Takayama.

Kind regards,

Alexis
