From Hakone I was thinking to go to Takayama. I have already bought a Rail Pass for 7 days - does anyone know if the journey from Hakone to Takayama and the bus trip to Shirakawago is included in the Rail Pass? Coz I won't do it if I have to pay extra... already short of money ;-)
Thanks alot!!

The train from Nagoya to Takayama is included in the JR railpass. I don't know about the more regional ones but as the line is operated by JR you should be covered. It's a very scenic ride after Gifu.
Are you sure you are not trying to do too much in 2 weeks. We did something similar in a little more than three weeks but it was definitely at the limit of what you can do without rushing around like mad.
If you only have got the rail pass for 7 days, you should do the Kyushu trip during that time as the long distances are really expensive on the Shinkansen, otherwise.
Have a good time,
