My trip would be from 3-9 May 2014
I would like to know if the JR pass is valid for the overnight sleeper train from Tokyo to Hiroshima?
Also I realise that 27 Apr-3 may is a holiday season in Japan, will I have trouble securing seats in trains at that time and if so how can I best find a way around this problem.
I aim to be in walking around Tokyo on the 3rd and 4th.
Maybe a day trip out of Tokyo on the 5h and then head over to Hiroshima on the 5th night.
Please Advise.
Thanks
