Fukui City

When traveling from Kyoto to Fukui Station, be sure to buy this set ticket! It's very convenient and offers great value. It includes a museum ticket, a dinosaur bus ticket, and a 1000 yen shopping voucher from a department store next to Fukui Station... awesome!!

The JR pass is easy to redeem and use without any problems, except that you can't exit at Takaoka Station. This is a limitation of the pass itself, but the Chinese translation isn't very good. If you enter or exit at this station, there's a high chance you'll be asked to buy a ticket, because this station actually belongs to another company, not JR itself. It's like you're just passing through another station. So, the conclusion is that you can get off at a later station, but you must buy a ticket at Takaoka. This is for your reference, and it can reduce the chance of arguing with station staff.
