Itinerary recommendations
This pass is best positioned for travelers who enter and exit Japan via Hakata. Using this pass to make a return between Hakata and Hiroshima is very economic and adding travel to any of the highlights in the area only adds to this.
The small harbour town of Onomichi is a recommended visit, it was the inspiration for the Ghibli movie Ponyo on the cliffs, has some amazing local Ramen soup and it is very pleasant to just scroll around.
