Kanazawa

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.

Booking the Hokuriko Arch Pass on Klook was smooth and convenient. The pass was easy to book in the app and I received my voucher 7 days after i booked. i exchanged the voucher at Narita Airport and they gave me the actual pass which i can use unlimited on all JR east/west lines around tokyo and hokuriko region for 7 days. It was also convenient and easy to book Hokuriko shinkansen on our preferred time and date with reserved seats. Totally worth it! The only downside we had was the pass sometimes are not being recognized on some stations, it wont allow us to pass so we needed to go through the manned gate , but other that that no problem. Will still book for sire to explore other areas in Hokuriko..

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.

Value for money as we went to many places. You can also use it on local JR Buses and trains. Will surely get again.

The main purpose of this trip was to visit Shirakawa-go. This pass was incredibly cost-effective; the round-trip transportation from Osaka alone (train, including a Shinkansen segment, plus bus) almost equaled the pass price. For the remaining four days, I used it to travel to Kyoto, Nara, Uji, and Kansai Airport.

We loved the bus. We took it from Takayama to Kanazawa. We stopped in Shirakawa-go and were able to see several parts of the place, we missed 2 or 3 things but we were happy with what we saw.

Highly recommended. Hotel Location: About a 10-minute walk from Kanazawa JR Station to the hotel. Service: The hotel front desk service is very enthusiastic, speaks clear English, and there are also staff members who can speak Chinese. The rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast: The breakfast is excellent, mainly Japanese-style, and also has local specialties. Recommended restaurants frequently visited by locals: Uogashi Syokudo Kanazawa Station Rinto (魚がし食堂 金沢駅 Rinto店), eat Hokuriku specialty raw fish, great value for money, the only drawback is that there will be queues. Honke Tonton tei (本家とんとん亭), authentic and professional tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet) restaurant, popular with locals.

Breakfast: Simple but delicious Transportation Convenience: Close to major attractions, 15-20 minutes from Kanazawa Station Cleanliness: Very good Service: Good, plus there's a spa where you can soak and watch the sunset

This hotel was pleasant surprise. It provides a wonderful and cozy Japanese in experience (albeit in hotel format). It is excellently situated - walking distance from the Omicho Market, the Higashi Chaya, the Oyama Shrine, the Kanazawa Castle area and Kenrokuen.
