Help Needed! Osaka - Hiroshima

[Wenbin87]

Hi guys,

This is my first time travelling to japan with my wife and son (Toddler). Mostly eat and look around not into shopping. 27/02 - 07/03 (8 days trip), reach evening time, leaving afternoon.

Places i would like to cover:

Osaka
Nara
Kyoto
Kobe
Hiroshima

1) Is it too little time to cover these places?
2) Is it a must to get ICOCA IC card to use for public transport?
3) Thinking of getting the 5 days JR pass, is it worth it?
4) Please share if there's any recommended places to eat and places to stay.

Thank you in advance.

Klook Kansai through pass already sold out, where else can purchase?

You probably need a Kansai Hiroshima Pass.
8 days can be too short to cover so many places, but depends on your itinerary.

Nara and Kobe can do day trip, can include Himeji together with Kobe.

With a toddler. Probably just stick to Osaka, Kyoto and those trips u mentioned excluding hiroshima. Do note that some attractions in kyoto need bus transport. Just buy the 500 yen for a day use is enough.

Jr pass can be bought from changi recommends and the price is cheaper than other travel agencies here. Whether u need or not no one can tell as we don't know where u want to go. Just calculate all individual single trips got more than the cost of JR lor.

Icoca card has to depend on where u want to visit as Osaka. If u only plan on places using JR pass. Then no need.

For places to stay. Just stick to 1 place and stay Osaka. Kyoto is just 30 mins ride from shin Osaka.
