Hi there,

I can highly recommend getting a 7-day Japan Rail Pass for your trip, and help you make good savings. A return Tokyo - Kyoto alone pays for the pass, and from there any addition travel is basically free :)

Note that you do need some additional costs for travel to Shirakawago and Ginzen Onsen, as there are no raillines there.

Have a fun trip!
Daniel

Hi as i checked on route search website , from tokyo i will be using omiya (saitama) to get to oishida. Is there any charge of that? Or can use JR pass?

And last , it said the train from omiya to oshidia will run every 4 hours. Could i have the schedule for each 4 hours ?

Sorry this is my first time travel to japan. Thank you
