Osorezan access

Hi all

I will visit osorezan at the end of this month. From Japan-Guide.com access to Osorezan is fully covered by JR Pass if travel through Hachinohe. My question is whether JR Pass also cover Aoimori railway from Aomori to Noheji and back. Also is RAPID RESORT ASUNARO SHIMOKITA a JR train?

Thank all

From Japan-Guide.com access to Osorezan is fully covered by JR Pass if travel through Hachinohe.

No, according to Japan-Guide.com it is covered through Shimokita Station. And that is correct:

My question is whether JR Pass also cover Aoimori railway from Aomori to Noheji and back.

Thanks to a special rule to keep the Shimokita Peninsula accessible to pass holders, the Japan Rail Pass is valid on the Aoimori Railway if you use it to travel:
- between Hachinohe and Aomori
or
- between Aomori and the Shimokita Peninsula
or
- between Hachinohe and the Shimokita Peninsula

But you may not get on and off at any Aoimori Railway station other than Hachinohe, Noheji or Aomori.

Also is RAPID RESORT ASUNARO SHIMOKITA a JR train?

It is a JR train running partially on non-JR tracks. It is fully covered by the Japan Rail Pass.

Thank you Uji. We all can depend on you for speedy, informative and accurate response to our question.
