I spent 3 weeks in japan covered Osaka Kyoto Hiroshima Tokyo last November
Spent 1 night at Hiroshima visited okunoshima rabbit island and atomic bomb museum with 50yen admission. I would say Hiroshima would be really worth to go and I prefer Hiroshima more than Tokyo because the atmosphere there is slightly different. The museum is a must go because u can easily get teary eyed when u look at those stuff or victims belongings damaged due to nuclear impact lol. I stayed at toyoko inn ekimae ohashi near Hiroshima subway where the willer bus stops. Weekend they have 20% discount for member but I forgot to bring the card!
I used willer bus pass 10000yen for 3days but I utilized it 2days for Kyoto to Hiroshima and Hiroshima to Tokyo. Spent overnight in the bus and it saved my accomodation and transport. Maybe u can try the Willer bus.
Hi thanks for sharing..the Hiroshima sounds so sad ler so maybe just spend half a day there. I used to have rabbits as pets, so already used to them

. 3 weeks is so long

did you cover himeji or okayama?
I am thinking about getting JR west pass for the sanyo line but have not decide whether taking the 5 days or 7 days one. Will take the 7 days one if I go to Fukuoka.
So far
Confirmed places are
- osaka (base hotel), kyoto (2 days, daily trip)
- miyajima (1 day trip), don't know where to set as hotel base, hiroshima or okayama
Under consideration are
- hiroshima /okayama
- himeji (1/2 day trip for the castle since looks like nothing else there)
- fukuoka (headache cause will only go if cheery blossom at other places not blooming, 1 day trip from hiroshima or okayama)
- kurashiki (half day trip)
Out of consideration
- kobe
- nara
biggest headache is where to set as second base hotel
