Can you use JR Pass to travel from Tokyo to Hiroshima?

Hi Mari,
I have read that the JR Pass will not work for the Nozomi bullet trains. When I checked Hyperdia for train times from Tokyo to Hiroshima, they all use the Nozomi trains. Is it possible to use the JR Pass to get from Tokyo to Hiroshima?

Please advise,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Yes, it is very possible to travel from Tokyo to Hiroshima using the bullet trains and a Japan Rail Pass with a single change at Shin-Osaka. Here is a sample itinerary for you.

You can find all the non-Nozomi bullet trains by disabling the Nozomi search option in Hyperdia which can be found under "SearchDetails".

Hope this helps!

Cool. I didn't see the filter to remove the Nozomi trains. Thanks!
