Hi there!

According to the Hyperdia Help page that icon means it is a turning station. In this case, it means that you will have to retrace your steps a little bit on the Sunrise Seto (as you're going over the seto see pretty soon on the Seto this is not a big issue).

The bigger concern I have is that the time allowed for transfer is only 2 minutes. I think this is too short. You should leave at least 10 mins for transfer I think.

If you intend to use the sleeper train (the Sunrise Seto is a sleeper), then please note that you will have to place a reservation as soon as you activate your rail pass in Japan as these trains are very highly subscribed. The JR Pass will allow you to use the 'nobi nobi' reclining soft carpeted cubicles free of charge, but you will have to pay a supplement if you wish to use the full berths.

Hope this helps!
