Getting Around
Getting around Chubu is best managed with a combination of Japan's efficient rail network and local buses. The Shinkansen (bullet train) connects major cities like Nagoya and Kanazawa. For scenic routes and accessing mountain areas, local trains and the iconic 'wide-view' scenic trains are excellent choices. Buses are essential for reaching smaller villages like Shirakawa-go and exploring national parks such as Kamikochi. Consider purchasing a regional rail pass if you plan extensive travel within Chubu to save on costs. Renting a car can offer flexibility for remote exploration, but be prepared for mountain roads.
