What would you recommend would be the best way to use our pass to travel from Tokyo and see Kyoto, Osaka,Hiroshima and Kobe since we have to take a cruise from here. Also canyou recommend number of days at each place of visit.

We will be traveling from the 25th Feb to 04 Mar ( embark ship on this date midday).

Thank you

Hi Chinty,

The most direct way is to use the bullet train system and some smaller local lines for all these locations I think!

Here's is a itinerary breakdown for you for these legs:

  1. Tokyo > Kyoto: ¥13,420 (164mins, 513km)
  2. Kyoto > Osaka: ¥540 (28mins, 42km)
  3. Osaka > Hiroshima: ¥10,150 (104mins, 345km)
  4. Hiroshima > Kobe(hyogo): ¥9,210 (119mins, 304km)

For the 7 day validity period, I think I recommend the following:

  1. 2 days in Tokyo
  2. 2 days in Kyoto/Nara
  3. 1 day trip to Osaka, staying in Kyoto.
  4. trip to Hiroshima, overnight on Miyajima
  5. return to Kobe for your ship

I hope this helps!
