Hi
I am thinking of purchasing this pass for my trip to start day 5 into my itinerary as traveling from Kyoto to Hiroshima Sat 21st March and staying 2 nights there then onto Osaka.
I will be using this pass on a Saturday to travel from Kyoto to Hiroshima, can l reserve seats with this pass.
Do l need to reserve seats to travel on shinkasen trains. Or can l be flexible and just get on the fast trains.
Any advice much would be much appreciated.
Using kansai-Hiroshima regional pass
Hi there,
With the Kansai-Hiroshima Area Pass, you will need to make a seat reservation to take the Shinkansen from Kyoto to Hiroshima.
I hope this helps!
Kind Regards,
Mariko
