Hi there,

Yes, I think your itinerary will work :) Now, let's have a look into details for the pass.

"Kyoto - Nara: Kintetsu limited express (Q: is this train included on the JR pass?)" This train is operated by Kintetsu and not part of the JR Network. To travel to Nara, you can use the JR Nara line instead between Kyoto and Nara stations.

"Nata - Osaka: Kintetsu Railways or JR Yamatoji Rapid Service (Q: is this Kintetsu Railways train included on the JR pass?)" Same here, the Kintetsu (or KNT), lines are not included but you can of course use the JR lines instead.

"Tottori - Kamigori: Limited Express Super inaba or Limited Express Super Hakuto (Q: are those trains included on the JR pass?) Kamigori - Okayama: JR Sanyo or Express Super inaba Super inaba (Q: is Express Super inaba included on the JR pass?) Okayama - Hiroshima: Shinkansen Sakura. (( Is it possible to take a more direct trip to Hiroshima? if so please let us know))"

The Super Inaba is covered but there is a small extra fare (details are here: https://jprail.com/trains/sort-by-departure-arrival-stations/stations-in-chugoku-and-shikoku/okayama-sort-by-departure-arrival-stations/the-fastest-train-access-to-tottori-from-okayama-limited-express-super-inaba.html#toc2). This also applies to the Super Hokuto (https://jprail.com/trains/sort-by-type/limited-express/the-fastest-train-access-to-tottori-from-osaka-and-kyoto-limited-express-super-hakuto.html#toc2).

Kanazawa: Limited Express Thunderbird (Q: is this train included on the JR pass?) (Is possible to take the luggage with us on these two trains?) Yes, and yes.

Tokyo - Narita Airport: Narita Express (Q: how much is this ride?) Around 3.000yen / one way on the NEX and around 1,500 for local trains.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
