Shinjuku to Nara to Miyajima to Osaka to Shinjuku

Hi there,

You could use a 7 day JR Pass perfectly for this. It covers travel between all the above places, including the ferry to Miyajima and also use the bullet train where needed.

The Nozomi is not included in the JR Pass but you can use any other bullet train service instead, such as the Hikari. This is the same type of train but makes a couple more stops on the way.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Mahalo Daniel-san...really appreciate the help!
We got referred to www.hyperdia.com ...very helpful site to plan out transportation routes.
Site allows you to filter out non-JR Pass routes...and customize your search...recommended it to anyone dealing with the same issue we were.
Thanks again!
