Good day, I was wondering can I use JRPass in Nozomi train from Tokyo to Hiroshima? If not I would like to ask for the best route starting from Tokyo and going to below places in order:

  1. Tokyo to Nikko (day trip)
  2. Tokyo to Arakurayama Sengen Park (day trip)
  3. Tokyo to Hiroshima
  4. Hiroshima to Itsukushima Shrine (day trip)
  5. Hiroshima to Osaka (would like to know if JRPass includes Osaka metro )
  6. Osaka to Himeji Castle (day trip)
  7. Osaka to Kyoto (would like to know if JRPass includes Kyoto metro also)
  8. Kyoto to Nagoya
  9. Nagoya to Magome (day trip)
  10. Nagoya to Tokyo

Hi there,

The Nozomi train is not included in the JR Pass, between Tokyo and Hiroshima, you can use the Hikari Shinkansen to Shin-Osaka and there transfer to the Sakura Shinkansen to Hiroshima.

Was there any other route, in particular, you'd like help on? In general, you can always just go to a JR ticket window to tell the staff where/when you want to travel and they'll find the best route for you.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

What about using the Hikari Shinkasen to Shin Kobe and transfering to Sakura Shinkansen to Hiroshima? Is that faster?
