Are you planning to visit Osaka, Kyoto, and Hiroshima?
Many travelers make the mistake of buying the National JR Pass ($330) just for this route. Or worse, they buy single Shinkansen tickets and pay over 20,000 JPY for a round trip.
Stop! Use the “Kansai-Hiroshima Area Pass”. It costs only 17,000 JPY. One round trip to Hiroshima and it pays for itself.
