Hello. I'm flying to Japan soon. We want to buy JRPASS for 14 days. We want to go from Tokyo to Hiroshima on the NOZOMI shinkansen.
I have a question, where can I make an additional payment to the ticket (online or at the machine) and how much does the additional payment cost?
Is there a website with a JR train schedule?
From which station does the shinkansen to Hiroshima leave and how do I get there from Narita airport.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi there,
You can purchase an add-on Nozomi ticket either at a JR ticket machine or manned ticket desk. The cost varies depending on the distance of travel - our blog post displays the prices for the most common routes.
There are various websites that show the JR train timetables but I’d either recommend Google or the Japan Travel website as these are the most user-friendly for tourists.
To get to Hiroshima from Narita, you’ll need to take a Narita Express service to Tokyo Station, where you can then board a Shinkansen service that will take you to Hiroshima. The Nozomi service takes just under 4 hours.
Kind regards,
Alexis
