For train travels 19/8 to 26/8

Hello,

1) Would a 7-day JR pass cover the period above or is it 1 day too short?

A 7-day Nationwide JR Pass activated on 19 August will be valid until midnight (23:59) on 25 August.

2) Also if we were to travel from Shishikui to Kagoshima, then from Kagoshima to Hiroshima then to Tokyo would it be profitable with a JR pass?

If you are planning to include some local trips as well, I would highly recommend the 7-day Nationwide JR Pass, which will make your travel much easier and more convenient! Please note that Shishikui Station is not covered by the JR Pass. To start your journey, you can take a bus to JR Awa-Kainan Station, travel on to Tokushima and Okayama, and then transfer to the Shinkansen down to Kagoshima.

I hope this helps!

Kind Regards,

Mariko
