Can I reserve Sagano romantic train at JR station in Osaka? But if I want to buy car 5 the rich...

Hi there,

You can purchase a ticket in advance at JR station in Osaka or any JR Ticket Office (Midori-no-madoguchi) of West Japan Railway. However, the tickets for Car No.5 [The Rich] and standing room tickets are sold at the following station (Saga, Arashiyama, and Kameoka Torokko Stations) on the same day only.

Hi there,

I am sorry I posted my answer to the wrong inquiry.
Please ignore my answer.

Hi there,

I would recommend the following itinerary since in this way, you will need to take a bus only for Kawaguchiko to Kofu, Matsumoto to Takayama, and Takayama to Shirakawago/Shirakawago to Takayama. You can just use Japan Rail Pass (JR Pass) for the rest of routes.

[Day 1] Narita > Shinjuku > Kawaguchiko

[Day 2] AM: Sightseeing Kawaguchiko
2 PM: Leave Kawaguchiko > Kofu >Matsumoto

[Day 3] AM: Matsumoto Castle
3 PM: Leave Matsumoto Castle >Takayama

[Day 4] Sightseeing Takayama/Shirakawago

[Day 5] AM: Leave Takayama > Nagoya > Kyoto or Osaka

[Day 6&7] Sightseeing Kyoto/Osaka/Nara

[Day 8] Leave Kyoto or Osaka for Tokyo

[Day 9] Tokyo

[Day 10] Tokyo > Narita Airport
