Hi,
I will in Japan from Tuesday 4/26 to Saturday 4/30 -- the likely itinerary is at the bottom. I have two questions:
- Should I buy a JR Pass or buy individual tickets? I think the pass is a better option, but would like opinions.
- Should I get a pass for the green car or for an ordinary car? My concern is primarily on the trip from Hiroshima to Tokyo.
Thanks for the input.

Likely itinerary:
4/26 - Arrive KIX ~6:30am
4/26 - travel to Himeji
4/26 - travel to Hiroshima / Miyajima
4/27 - travel to Tokyo (is Green Car useful on this journey)
4/28-29 - move around Tokyo (using combination of Yamanote line and metro)
4/20 - take Narita Express at about 7:30am (is Green Car useful -- it is the first day of Golden Week)
