The tour guide spoke with great enthusiasm and dedication. She also shared some interesting facts about Takayama itself. The people at the sake brewery were very grateful that we were there. All in all, it was a very enjoyable and educational experience.

It was a very nice and memorable trip. We were fortunate to experience both rain and snow, which made the journey even more unique and exciting. Each destination had its own charm, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide was excellent—very knowledgeable, clear, and engaging in explaining the history and details of the resorts, which helped us appreciate each place even more. Overall, it was a wonderful and enjoyable experience.

The scenery in Gujo Hachiman is beautiful, and with the snow cover, every shot is a great photo. It's a shame that not many shops in the shopping street are open, so it's best to prepare breakfast before you go. Bokka no Sato is a place where both adults and children can have fun. The snow scene there is beautiful, and it was snowing the whole time, with super thick snow accumulation. A highly recommended trip!

The bus is a convenient way to get there and spend a day at the ski resort. Bus driver was courteous and meeting point easy to locate.

e-ticket was good. no need to queue to buy bus tickets. the open air museum is beautiful. as it was raining the whole day when we visited, there was no snow at all: if not, it will look magical. the museum package by Nohi Bus came with ¥100 discount for ice cream and red bean soup. having hot red bean soup inside the hut is a good experience and warm us up. there are free green tea and water offered in the hut too.

It was easy to redeem. No need to go to the counter. The ride was smooth. We went on a ‘bad weather’ which was perfect to catch some falling snow moment. The price was cheaper compared to buying both tickets separately. The ride to shinhotaka was amazing, the first gondola ride was a bit compact but the double decker gondola was amazing

The exchange order was delivered on time within 4 days to me. Delivery from Taiwan to Malaysia by DHL. Such a fast service. I used the exchange order to exchange for the ticket at JR office at Kansai Airport. Very convenient and super worth it as it helped me to save.

If you're planning a trip from Nagoya to Takayama, Toyama, and the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route within five days, I highly recommend purchasing this pass! A round trip on the Hida Limited Express from Nagoya to Takayama alone costs around NT$2400, and the Tateyama Kurobe Option Ticket is about the same. With this pass, I was able to take the comfortable Hida Limited Express from Nagoya to Takayama, stay there for three nights, then travel to Toyama for one night. I also used the pass for a free ride on the train to Tateyama Station, where I exchanged the pass for a round-trip ticket to the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, also free of charge. Finally, I took a complimentary JR train from Shinano-Omachi back to Nagoya. It's convenient and highly recommended!
Seat Reservation Process: The pass includes four free seat reservations, which you can make by selecting your preferred times at the automatic ticket machines in the station.
