Although the price of the Hokuriku Shinkansen has increased since the full line was opened, it is still the most cost-effective and easy-to-recover JR Pass. A must buy when going to Hokuriku

This is a great trip. As we don’t drive, it’s very try convenient to join the tour and I don’t have to bother the traffics. We just need to assemble outside Nagoya Station and the bus would take us to Shirakawa-go, Takayama and Kanazawa. On the first day, it took around 2.5 hours from Nagoya Station to Shirakawa-go, then we spent 2 hours there. After that it took around 2 hours to get to Takayama and we spent 3 hours there. We were lucky enough to eat at the famous grill beef restaurant Maruaki (丸明). After Takayama, the bus drove us to Kanazawa and we stayed at the HOTEL MYSTAYS Kanazawa Castle. It is a very comfortable hotel with hot spring and we were able to have a good rest. On the second day, we spent 1 hour at Kenroku-en, then 1 hour at tea house street and finally two hours at Omicho Market until 2:30pm. It took around 3.5 hours to travel back to Nagoya Station. Overall, it’s a wonderful tour.

You have to go exchange at the office near the Starbucks coffee shop. It is easy to use. The staff speaks English very well. It is easy to understand. This pass is worth it. The price is not too high. You can travel to many places such as Kobe, Nara, Kyoto, Osaka. You can use it for 7 consecutive days.

The itinerary was very good. The driver was polite and attentive. He explained the details in detail. The scenery along the way was beautiful. I would choose another itinerary.

This pass was so convenient when travelling in JP. However, highly recommend to reserve a seat when you travel long distance, and need to check carefully for non-included routes.
