Itinerary and seats

Hello!

Given your itinerary, I would recommend the JR Sanyo-San'in Area Pass. This pass provides excellent value and covers your travel as far as Hakata (Fukuoka).

Please note that since the pass boundary ends at Hakata, you will need to purchase a separate individual ticket for the final leg from Hakata to Kumamoto. All your other listed trips - including the Miyajima Ferry and the Osaka Loop Line - will be fully covered!

To reserve a seat, please go to any JR Station. You can make reservations at the ticket machines or the staffed ticket offices (Midori-no-madoguchi). For local lines, you don't need a reservation; you can simply go through the ticket gates using your pass.

I hope this helps with your planning!

Kind Regards,

Mariko

Thank you so much!!!
