Tokyo-Osaka-Hiroshima-Tokyo-Saga

Hi Naomi,

The only rail ticket that will cover all these locations is the Nationwide Japan Rail Pass which you can purchase here. To check the savings with a JR Pass, here's the cost breakdown for your trip with comparisons with the savings you'd make by purchasing the various lengths of JR Pass:

1. Tokyo > Osaka: ¥13950, (194mins, 556km)
2. Osaka > Hiroshima: ¥10150, (104mins, 345km)
3. Hiroshima > Tokyo: ¥18250, (292mins, 894km)
4. Tokyo > Saga: ¥23670, (419mins, 1228km)

JR ticket cost: ¥66020 for 4 legs

• 07 day rail pass (¥28,300) saving: ¥37720
• 14 day rail pass (¥45,100) saving: ¥20920
• 21 day rail pass (¥57,700) saving: ¥8320

You do have a very long trip going back to Saga from Tokyo, if possible I recommend you visit Saga after Hiroshima.

Note about non-JR trains and metro systems

Please note that the Japan Rail Pass covers trains operated by Japan Rail (JR). This includes the Shinkansen bullet trains and the vast majority of express/local trains however does not cover municipal operated subway and metro systems, which will require additional ticket purchase.

Hope this helps!
