Comparison Chart for the 3 Free 'Kippu'
8月１日から小諸・軽井沢間のしなの鉄道に「浅間高原フリーきっぷ」がスタートする予定です。屋代までのしなの鉄道及び長野電鉄の屋代線に使える「千曲ゆっくりフリーきっぷ」としなの鉄道＋長電前線＋JR篠ノ井・長野間で使える軽井沢・小布施フリーきっぷ」に並べて、３つ目のレールパスになります。どのパスがご自分の予定に一番合うか分かる為に、簡単に説明する表を作りましたのでご参照下さい。
On August 1st, Shinano Railway will start a new Rail Pass, the Asama Kogen Highlands Free 'Kippu' (Ticket). It will cover the stations between Komoro and Karuizawa. It joins 2 other passes for Northern and Eastern Nagano: The Karuizawa-Obuse Free 'Kippu' for Shinano Railway, Nagaden Nagano and Yashiro Lines, and JR Shinonoi Line between Shinonoi and Nagano City, and the Chikuma River Yukuri Free 'Kippu', which covers the Shinano Railway between Yashiro and Karuizawa, Nagaden's Yashiro Line and Ueda Dentetsu's Bessho Line.
So which pass is best for you and your particular travel plans? I designed a comparison chart for you to figure out just that. Take a look at chart and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me any time!
