Love the pass! Was using it to cover the train up to takayama from Nagoya and back. And it provided the to and fro to shirakawago + some discounts for purchasing city bus in Nagoya, and some sites visit (takayama) too!

CANDY.Family (with young kids)

Fantastic n super worth for the value. Really able to make full use of the pass. From Nagoya stn, i travelled to Takayama, to Toyama, to Kanazawa too (on Hokuriku Shinkansen). Travelled down also to Gero for onsen stay and 5th day back to Nagoya station. Out of the 5days, i also took Nohi Bus at Takayama bus center to Shirakawago with this pass (But make sure to choose unreserved timings n reach bus terminal earlier to queue up).
