Why choose the TAKAYAMA-HOKURIKU Tourist Pass?
Japan's geography is largely defined by two prominent features: mountains and sea. The Takayama-Hokuriku Tourist Pass takes you through central Honshu, where both high peaks and rich coastlines grace the landscape as well as play an important role in the local culture. The Japanese Alps are a mountain range that cut through Gifu Prefecture and the Hokuriku Region, an area that embodies the quintessential culture of Japan. With this same pass, a journey out to the eclectic Kansai Region is also possible, as well as a visit to the culinary capital that is Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture.
