Hello,
I'm going to be traveling with friends through Japan in September. We are arriving in Hiroshima from Tokyo, but spending the night in Miyajima. The following day we'd like to get from Miyajima to Kyoto. Is there any way to make this trip using the regular 7-day JR pass, or will we need to buy Shinkansen tickets?
From Kyoto, we are heading to Hakone - again, will we need Shinkansen tickets to get out of the Kyoto region?
Thanks,
Katie
