Hello there.

A friend and I will be arriving in Japan next week (29 May). We have purchased JR passes for 14 Days.

I would like to know if it is possible to use the JR pass to travel from Osaka to Hiroshima and then Hiroshima to Numazu via shinkansen?

I have tried to use the hyperdia website but its a little confusing for me as I am not familiar with the lines and train types. I think I can use the sakura and hikari trains, but there is a warning after the search that the jr pass may not cover the whole journey?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated :) Sorry if this seems to be a noob question :)

Hello Luke,

Thank you for purchasing the JR Pass! The JR Pass covers all of the route between Osaka - Hiroshima and Numazu. Both the Haruka and Hikari trains are indeed covers. Below I've linked two example routes usable with the JR Pass.

Osaka - Hiroshima.

Hiroshima - Numazu.

If you feel uncertain about using Hyperdia, then please read our blog post on how to plan with Hyperdia it's a great help to get started.

Does that help?
