It looks like the Ltd. Express Wideview Hida train that leaves from Kyoto (around 8.30am from memory) and goes via Nagoya up to Taka only takes 35 minutes longer than the Nozomi/transfer onto the Ltd Express at Nagoya option anyway, but it is quite a bit cheaper, (saving around $90 Australian) so we're going to do that. Unless any of you have any insider info about that option that would make me reconsider?
Thanks again. We're getting SO excited about this trip now!  |
I think you are making the right choice.
