Hi all, need some suggestions regarding my trip to Chubu region.

Option 1:
Takayama to Shirakawa-go by Nohi Bus with return trip
Transfer to Toyama.
Daytrip to Kanazawa
Daytrip to Kurobe Gorge

Option 2:
Takayama to Shirakawa-go by Nohi Bus
Shirakawa-go to Kanazawa by Nohi Bus
Kanazawa to Toyama.
Daytrip to Kurobe Gorge.

Which option would be better? I was thinking of purchasing the JR Central Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Ticket. I'm aware the ticket does not cover my trip to Shirakawa-go and Kanazawa as well as the Kurobe gorge railway.
