7 day pass

Hi There,

I see you have a couple of questions, let's get started right away.

1.) The 7 day JR Pass is definitely recommended for your itinerary! Going to Osaka and Hiroshima is pretty expensive without a JR Pass and the JR Pass is the only pass that covers the entire route.

2.) Yes, you can use the NEX to get into Tokyo using the Japan Rail Pass.

3.) For seat reservations, please see this page. If you do miss a train, generally it is not problem to make a new reservation. Although you may also be asked to take a non reserved seat.

4.) If you are taking the Shinkansen from Tokyo - Kyoto/Osaka ask for a seat E or D (or C or D if you travel Green Class).

5.) There are coinlockers available at stations. These cost 300-900yen depending on the size you want to use. Generally you will either get a key or number combination. It just depends on the locker type available.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
