Hello,
I am planning a trip to Japan in late March and would like to check if a JR pass would be best value. I will be staying in Osaka from 29 March until 3 April and will travel from Hiroshima to Tokyo on 5 April.
Osaka - Kyoto (30 March)
Osaka - Nara (01 April)
Osaka - Hiroshima (03 April)
Hiroshima - Tokyo (05 April)
If I understand correctly, I will be able to use my 7 day pass from 30 March, when I intend to take day trips from Osaka to Nara, Kyoto and Hiroshima, and then use the pass on the 7th day from Hiroshima to Tokyo. In Tokyo, I should consider buying a Suica pass for the 5 days I am there
Can I also confirm that I am able to use any train except Nozomi and Mizuho, and I can use the pass for the ferry from Hiroshima to Miyajima Island?
Many thanks in anticipation.
I can’t wait to arrive!
