JR Central Pass for 4-5 days

buchun

Through your website i have found a pass known as JR Central Pass.
Does this pass give access users to fast or not so fast trains from Kyoto to Kiso Valley (Magome/Tsumago or adjoining areas) via Nagoya. (Please note I am not taking short bus trip into account).
Also is this pass valid for 4 or 5 days? Please correct me if I am wrong in my assumptions.
Your advice will be appreciated.

Hi,
Honestly, I don't know what pass you are referring to. There is no single "JR Central Pass", and none that go from Kyoto to the Kiso Valley in Nagano by way of Nagoya.
You might look through all the passes on

for more clarification.

Thank you for your reply in relation to my query about the rail pass which I had wrongly titled as "Central Honshu Rail Pass". Instead it should be read as Alpine Matsumoto Area Tourist Pass valid for 5 days. I apologise for any confusions unintentionally made by me in your forum. It is a one-off pass issued for overseas traveller since April of this year and valid till mid November.
