easy to redeem but not all train within hokuriku area can use. JR bus usage is limited. totally can't find one that can use the pass. lucky the main senkansen line from Tokyo to Kanazawa to Osaka is usable and it worth.

This is my first time using the JR Hokuriku Arch Rail Pass. I traveled from Tokyo to Osaka, passing through Toyama, Shin-Takaoka, Kanazawa, and Fukui. It was very useful and I will recommend it to my friends.

The hotel is very new and clean. It is located about 12 minutes walk from Kanazawa Station. It is a little far, but the famous Omi-cho Market is a five-minute walk away. There is also a drugstore diagonally opposite, which is quite convenient.

Highly recommended this pass if anyone wants to cover north of Hokariku Arch area. such as Tokyo-Nagano-Toyama-Kyoto-Osaka -Nara-Tokyo.Some of the subway JR green lines were also covered using this pass. only Mt Fuji is not covered with this pass as you have to buy a seperate ticket for that. All Shinkengan and Limited express trains you need to reserve seats. you can easily do it in the station using these passes. I ordered these passes from Simgapore and got the physical passes in just 4 days to my home. Very useful if we have multiple trips in 7 days. I would give 5 star for Klook for quick delivery.

Great pass. If you are looking to take multiple tickets of Shinkansen using this pass then it’s very beneficial. you can just approach the ticket counter to get reserve tickets for free using this pass.
