December/January itinerary help

Hi there,

It will depend what time you arrive in Tokyo, it is quite far to Hiroshima and there is usually no transport available after midnight. For travel to Hiroshima, flying will be faster but using the JR Pass will be a lot more economic. You'd also not have to worry in case your earlier flight has a delay.

You should be fine getting seats after the New Years weekend

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thanks for that. I was now thinking instead of flying direct to Osaka, instead of into Tokyo, on 29/12 and staying in Kyoto and then taking the train on the 3rd or 4th January to Hiroshima. Will it be difficult getting seats in the train to Hiroshima given people may be going back home at the end of the holiday?

Thanks
Robyn

Hi Robyn,

I would advise to reserve the seats in the first couple of days when you arrive in Japan. This way you'll be secure of seats and will not have to worry about securing your seats.

Kind regards,
Daniel
