What to know
Under two hours by Sanyo Shinkansen, which makes Hiroshima and Miyajima a genuine day trip from Osaka or Kyoto. If you're doing that round trip plus Himeji, the JR Kansai-Hiroshima Area Pass usually beats buying tickets separately.
Is a rail pass worth it?
This journey alone comes to about ¥21,240 return, so a nationwide pass will not pay for itself on this trip. A regional pass is the better question — check the one below against your full itinerary.
