Hello Explore Japan,
I known that with the JR-Pass we can travel on the (not Nozomi) shinkansen between de large city's,
But is it also possible to use it on the local metro/tram/bus lines (not always from JR) like the Kyoto Subway, Nagasaki Tramway and Seaside liner, the Hiroden in Hiroshima, and the Fukuoka City Subway ?
Regards,

Hi Ham,
I'm afraid is it not possible to use any non-JR services with the JR Pass in the cities you list. The only exception is the Tokyo monorail which is free to use for JR Pass holders.
I hope this helps!
As an addendum, in Hiroshima you can use the Hiroshima Loop Bus.
And you can buy a day pass for many local city subways etc without too much cost.
For Fukuoka, try the Fukuoka Tourist City Pass.
There is good info seeing Fukuoka on:
