Takayama Hokuriku Tourist Pass

I got my Takayama Hokuriku Area Tourist Pass, and I just got to know that it does not cover any of the shinkansen, not even the Hikari.
Hence, I need help to re-plan my route.

Day 1 (18.3.15) : Kansai Airport --> Kanazawa --> Shirakawago.
- kansai Airport to shin-osaka : ltd exp haruka 4.
- shin-osaka to kanazawa : ltd exp thunderbird 7.
- Kanazawa to shirakawago : nohi bus

Day 2 (19.3.15) : Shirakawago --> takayama
- Shirakawago --> takayama : nohi bus .

Day 3 (20.3.15) : Takayama --> Kyoto.
- Takayama to nagoya : ltd exp (wide view) hid a.
- nagoya to kyoto : shinkansen hikari / nozomi --->> not cover by takayama-hokuriku pass (need to buy the trip separately, do I need to pay for seat fee or only the basic fare ?)

Day 4 (21.3.15) : kyoto --> Nara --> kyoto
- kyoto to nara: JR nara line local
- nara to kyoto: JR nara line local

Day 5 (22.3.15) : Kyoto --> Arashiyama
- can it be used for JR sagano line / randen arashiyama/ Hankyu Arashiyama Line ?


Is all these route covered by the takayama hokuriku pass ?
Thanks in advance.

  • Hello Joyous,

    Unfortunately, a Takayama-Hokuriku Tourist Pass will not cover travel to Nara or to the western outskirts of Kyoto.

    For the trip between Nagoya and Kyoto, you will need to buy an entire ticket, including all fares, separately from your rail pass.
