Hi there

We need to be in Koyasan on the 27th of october and in Takayama on the 1st of November.

Is it possible to visit these cities in between:
Okayama, Kurashiki and Onomichi
Himeji
Hiroshima
Nagasaki

What is the best route to visit all of these places on the JR pass?

Regards
Matt

Hi Matt,

It feels a bit busy to include all these places, especially going down to Nagasaki adds a lot of travel time.

I think you could do Okayama, Kurashiki and even Onomichi in a single day if you plan it well. Or combine one of those places with a visit Himeji. Then do one or two days in Hiroshima, especially if you want to include Miyajima as well.

From Hiroshima it is already 5 hours to Takayama, it will be around 8 if you come from Nagasaki. If you do want to include Nagasaki, then I would suggest starting there and making your way up to Hiroshima and the other cities.

Hope this helps!
Daniel
