JR East Pass 2014/11/2 16:50
Dear all

I am planning a 2 weeks trip to Japan next feb. I will be arriving to and departing from Tokyo.

My current itinerary:

Arrive in tokyo
- straight to Nagano for snow monkeys for 2 days on the Nagano Shinkansen
-to Shirakawago for 2 days (not sure how to get there from Nagano)
-to Mt Zao for 2 days (is there a shinkansen that goes there? )
-to Sapporo then Niseko for maybe 3 days (all the way from Mt zao to aomori to sapporo)
- back to tokyo for 3 or 4 days

My question is if i travel by Shinkansen all the way, would a JR East pass covers all the trains? (I will take a flight back to tokyo from saporro)

And if this is a workable itinerary or is it gonna be too rush and tiring?

thanks a lot for any advice
