How to use JR pass for this Itinerary?

Hi there,

Google Maps (unfortunately) is not a good resource when planning your Shinkansen journeys for the Japan Rail Pass. As it does not show the Hikari Shinkansen services on the Tokaido line - which you can use for free with the JR Pass.

Instead use Hyperdia is Navitime.

For travel times, I recommend learning to plan with Hyperdia this way you can find any route/timetable and more. It's a great tool for planning with the JR Pass. We also have a useful interactive map with all JR lines included.

Kind regards,
Daniel
