JR Hokuriku Area Pass

You can redeem your QR code at the service center at Kanazawa Station. Please note that when using the pass, you can only sit in non-reserved seats, so you cannot take the Kagayaki bullet train! With this pass, I visited the Dinosaur Museum in Fukui, a beautiful cafe in Fukui, rode the trolley train in Kurobe Gorge in Toyama, and went to the Toyama Glass Art Museum. You can also go shopping at Aeon Mall in Shin-Takaoka! I highly recommend this pass; it was well worth the money! Additionally, this time, my purchase also included an Ishikawa Enjoy Pass, which allowed me to choose three attractions. I chose the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, the Samurai District, and also went to the shopping street next to the station to redeem a 2000 yen shopping voucher, which was a great deal!

This pass is simply amazing! You can combine it with the JR Kansai Wide Area Pass to travel to Kanazawa. You will only need to book separate tickets if you are traveling from Osaka to Okayama on the Shinkansen, and then taking a Thunderbird from Okayama to Tsuruga. The pass can be used at the newly opened station in Tsuruga! You can then explore all the stations, but please be aware that you will only be allowed to use non-reserved seats, which are usually in cars 1-2.

worth every dollar and cent! easy way to get around the area. Although, it would be best if you start your trip from Osaka or Nagoya. This pass does not cover initial trip from Tokyo to the Hokuriku area!

Although the price increased to 7,000 yen, I traveled from Tsuruga to Kanazawa, then round trip from Kanazawa to Kurobe-Unazukionsen, and tomorrow I'm going to Toyama, all by Shinkansen. I used the non-reserved seats in cars 1-2, which were very comfortable. It should be worth the money. In Kanazawa, you can take the JR bus, but the services are infrequent, so walking to attractions takes about the same amount of time. Since I didn't visit too many places just to check them off, if you're like a special forces tourist who goes to many places, it's still very cost-effective, because Shinkansen tickets are very expensive, a short ride can easily cost 3,000-5,000 yen. So, this 7,000 yen for 4 days is still worth it.

It is very good and convenient to visit that area, especially when used with the Kansai Area Pass to visit Himeji, Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Toyama, and Kanazawa.

If you're not driving in the Hokuriku region, it's actually very suitable for independent travel with a JR Pass. You can choose to stay in one city for several consecutive nights, or use the JR Pass to take the Shinkansen for day trips to various cities in Hokuriku, which is very cost-effective. In four days, I visited "Kanazawa, Shin-Takaoka, Takaoka, Amaharashi, Himi, Toyama, Unazuki Onsen, and Komatsu," which was very convenient.

You can redeem your pass by showing the QR code at the service center in Kanazawa Station. Please note that you can only sit in non-reserved seats, so you cannot take the Kagayaki train! With this pass, I visited the Dinosaur Museum in Fukui, a beautiful cafe in Fukui, took the trolley train in Kurobe Gorge in Toyama, and went to the Toyama Glass Art Museum. You can also go shopping at Aeon Mall in Shin-Takaoka! I highly recommend this pass; it was well worth the money!

Although the pass has increased in price, over four days, from Komatsu to Kanazawa, round trip from Kanazawa to Fukui, and round trip from Kanazawa to Unazuki Onsen, it has already far exceeded the ticket price. For the Shinkansen, because it's closer to the end stations, even during Japanese long holidays, there are always seats available in the unreserved section. For sightseeing trains, you can purchase reserved seats separately and use the pass to cover the fare. We recommend purchasing this pass if you want to explore the Hokuriku region at a leisurely pace.
