We are planing to our Japan trip in March. We plan to reach Takayama from Tokyo around 13th March. After 2 days in Takayama, we intend to visit Fukui Perfectural Dinosaur Museum before reaching Kyoto.
I was looking through the different posts and have planned the following
1) Rent a car in Takayama 2) Leave Takayama in morning, drive north on Route 41, then west on to Route 360, visit Shirakawa-go (again) 3) From Shirakawa-go, drive along Hakusan Super Rindo then merge to Route 157 to Fukui Dinosaur Museum by noon or later 4) Drop-off car at Fukui city and cath a JR limited express to Kyoto by night
I guidance in making this happen. Any help will be good as its first time for me in Hida/Fukui
My concerns are
0) Is it possible to do it in a day? 1) Can I rent a car in Takayama for drop-off in Fukui city? 2) Are the routes, i mentioned, open for individual cars around mid-march? I understand few are only for public buses 3) What driving conditions to expect around mid-march?
Look forward to your suggestions... Thank you

0) Is it possible to do it in a day? -- From Takayama IC to Fukui IC, It take 2 hours 30 minutes by car. 1) Can I rent a car in Takayama for drop-off in Fukui city? -- Yes. It is possible. 2) Are the routes, i mentioned, open for individual cars around mid-march? I understand few are only for public buses -- Please take Tokai Hokuriku Highway to Oyabe Tonami JC via Shirakawa-go and then take Hokuriku highway to Fukui. Hakusan Super Rindo closed road until June. 3) What driving conditions to expect around mid-march? -- It is better that rent a car with snow tire.

Oh was looking forward to driving through the scenic route. Thanks for the suggestion.
Just one follow-up question, will going south along tokai hokuriku highway and taking route 158/157 be more scenic through snowy mountains than through the suggested oyabe tonami jct/kanazawa?? Anyway we would have already visited Shirakawa+go and can skip it.
If not much difference, then We shall plan to take the suggested route.

I see. But Route 157 also closed now as snow. So it is better go to Fukui via Oyabe Tonami IC. Have a safety trip!
