4. May I use the pass to go up the Alpine Route again within the 8 days?

What pass should I purchase for the trip?

Option 3 only Takayama-Hokuriku Area Tourist Pass 5 Days Pass 10,500
Option 4 do not purchase any pass

Is the activation of the airport transfer railway ticket tied to the @3 Days Shoryudo Express Bus ticket? If yes, then I should just pay cash for the bus trips?
