Kanazawa to alpine corridor 2023/3/19 17:34
Hello!

I am planning a day trip from Kanazawa to see the famous alpine corridor in mid May.i hope it's open during that time to go see the huge wall of snow.

So we plan to take a shinkansen from Kanazawa that can take us up to Nagano and from there i think i will have to take another means to reach the highest point.

Is all this travel covered by JR Pass?
Do I need to book tickets in advance before i reach?

Your inputs are appreciated.
Thankyou so much.

The Shinkansen from Kanazawa to Nagano and Toyama back to Kanazawa is covers by the JR pass. All other services like buses and train will not be.

If you go to Nagano from Kanazawa, you need to go to Shinano-Omachi via Matsumoto.
These are all JR.
If you take a bus from Nagano to Ogizawa via Shinano-Omachi, it is Alpico Kotsu, so there is an additional charge.

Kurobe Tateyama Alpine Route is not JR.

Toyama to Tateyama is also on the Toyama Chihou Railway main line, so it is not JR.
