easy to use. the vouchers was delivered to my house before my trip. when I arrive in Japan, just activate it at JR ticket office. you can also book and reserve your tickets at the office. we started from Nagoya- Takayama- Toyama - Matsumoto and back to Nagoya. If you enjoy scenic train journey, this is definitely a good choice!

Fast delivery. We received the exchange couple within few days. We went to Nagoya station to exchange the pass and also reserved our seats. We visited Gero, Shirakawago, Kanazawa, Fukui, Tsuruga. We took JR train, express bus and Shinkansen train. Very worth it

Just show the QR code to the Nohi Bus driver and you can board directly (you'll need internet access to open the screen and see the bus animation). Although the journey to the ropeway station is a bit long (about an hour and a half there, and two and a half hours back) and there are many stops in between, if there are passengers getting on and off at every stop during peak hours, it will take even longer for the round trip. The ropeway has two sections with different schedules, so you need to time it carefully and coordinate with the bus schedule. Overall, while playing in the snow was fun, the need to catch specific bus and ropeway times made the experience a bit rushed and stressful.😓

Very smooth experience and our driver / guide Mr Bai was very professional with timing and explanation. We did the Takayama - Shirakawa-go route.
Went to the Takayama Jinya which is the only Edo period government house remaining. It is deathly cold inside as there is no heating for preservation precautions so either wear very thick winter socks and request for slippers. Very informative and educational.
Definitely ask for the Hida Beef Yakiniku experience. Best to go there when lunch starts at 11-1130. It gets crowded later on.
We then went to Shirakawa-go after lunch and you can expect to spend at least 3 hours there. Go to the outdoor museum first which is adjacent to the carpark, before you cross the bridge. To get to the observation point you can either trek up (which can be quite steep in parts), or take a shuttle bus (follow signs to this location) but expect a queue.

It was one of the memorable parts of my Tokyo trip since I was the only passenger plus the driver and tour guide. I wasn't expecting a tour guide but I got one and he is so friendly. Plus, the perfect weather showing the magesty of Mount Fuji. This is my second time seeing it but it still amazed me. Will definitely come back again.

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.
