Fantastic 5.0
seat reservation process: Easy to do and well worth booking seats. price: Was a great price to do the whole trip in one go, changed trains at the station half way to our destination and no problems. pass area coverage: Great views of the country side and had great internet coverage so could still keep in contact with people.

Price: Very worth it. The value is 30,000 yen, but I actually used 69,000 yen. Having a pass makes me not worry. Plus, I got a discounted price from Klook.

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 traveling in the Hokuriku region and prefer not to drive, a JR PASS is a great option for independent travel. You can choose to stay in one city for several nights, or use your JR PASS to take the Shinkansen for day trips to various cities in the Hokuriku area, which is very cost-effective. I visited Kanazawa, Shin-Takaoka, Takaoka, Amaharashi, Himi, Toyama, Unazuki Onsen, and Komatsu over four days, and it was very convenient.

Finding the bus station was very easy, even though I was traveling with three family members and carrying three large suitcases. The bus driver was very friendly and helpful. The journey took around 7 hours, with stops at rest areas every 2 hours. The rest areas had beautiful scenery, which made the trip very enjoyable. We also stopped in Kanazawa and Shirakawago, allowing us to enjoy amazing views along the way. After arriving in Takayama, the driver kindly helped me with directions for returning to Osaka. He explained clearly that we could go back either by bus or by JR Line. Overall, it was a truly great experience and I really enjoyed every moment of the journey. Thank you, Klook, for this wonderful bus package!

Guides were very knowledgeable about the area and even the driver can speak English. It was snowing during our visit. The time given to explore the area was just nice, not too long or too short. The agent was also very helpful to accommodate to our dietary requirements. Recommended.

This day trip was very well organized and made it easy to visit Shirakawago without worrying about transportation. Shirakawago itself was stunning, especially the traditional gassho-zukuri houses, which felt like stepping into a postcard. The schedule was smooth and gave enough time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the scenery at a relaxed pace.
