One of the best ways to explore the off-the-beaten paths in Japan is to just look beyond some of the most popular destinations. Using JR Tourist Passes is one of the most convenient and cost efficient way for independent travellers.
Below is one of the most value-for-money area passes covering Takayama, the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Matsumoto, and all other cities along the route starting from Nagoya. It’s a 5-day tourist pass and for sure you can cover the following amazing places and more:
First of all, you will have to purchase the pass online or through travel agents before you arrive in Japan. Once you arrive at Nagoya station, exchange the voucher in the JR Information Center in the main concourse of the station. 首先，再出發之前透過網上或旅行社訂購周遊券。到達名古屋 JR 站後在大堂中央的 JR 案內所換領。It’s the JR Information Center, not the ticket office nor the Tourist Information Center. 請謹記是 JR 案內所，不是售票處，也不是觀光案內所喔！Stop 1, visit Gifu city where you can see this ancient cormorant fishing dating back 1,300 years ago. 第一站：岐阜市。在長良川可以看到這個有1,300年歷史的鸕鶿捕魚傳統。Believe it or not, this 13-meter tall buddha in Gifu city is made of paper! It is one of the three great buddhas in Japan. Amazing! 信不信由你，這座13米高大佛是用紙張做的，是日本三大佛像之一。一定要來岐阜市看看！Stop 2: visit the lovely little town of Hida Fukukawa, enjoy a leisure walk in the old town and try out the famous Hida beef. 第2站：飛驒古川。看看「你的名字」 動畫的鐵路場景，嚐嚐著名飛驒牛，和在古鎮散散步，渡過美好的一天。Stop 3: visit the newest Toyama Prefecture Museum of Art which offers a lot more than just modern art. The grand opening will be held on 26 August 2017. 第3站：富山縣最新的美術館。從建築設計、周邊環境、美術品以及屋頂花園都一流。 2017年8月26日才正式開幕喔！Stop 4: the Takeyama Alpine Route!

It’s the highlight of the trip. 第4站：立山黑部！從 475米高的立山開始，乘坐登山巴士到 2,450米高的室堂，再到1,470米高黑部大水霸，是這個旅程的亮點！Stop 5: Matsumoto. Visit the Matsumoto Castle, a national treasure of Japan.
