Hi there,

A 7 day JR Pass would be great here.

Odawara (Hakone) - Hiroshima ¥ 18,020
Hiroshima - Kyoto ¥ 12,080
Kyoto - Kansai Airport (Osaka international) ¥ 3,370

For a total of ¥ 33,470 or ¥ 4,360 savings with the JR Pass. As the 7 day JR Pass is ¥ 29,110. Additionally, the JR Pass is valid for the tourist bus around Hiroshima and ferry to Miyajima.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thanks Dan, much appreciated.

What is the difference between firstclass tickets and normal ticket?
