Easy to redeem at Hiroshima Station within business hours as there is a specialised queue for tourist and redemptions. Also to redeem train tickets was easy too. I am glad to have this pass which saved me money on the ferries to shodoshima and from matsuyama to hiroshima and down to fukuoka and to osaka.
very convenient. We exchanged for the pass at KIX Airport. And just to state the start date for using the pass. With the pass, shinkansen is free, making exploration of setouchi area very worthwhile.
Value for dollar if you are intending to make a to and fro long distance ride and also travel within the region with day tours.
good easy to change with ticket at station
It was easy to exchange the voucher for the pass.
In terms of value, this is as good as it gets. This pass covered our trips from Hakata to Hiroshima, Hiroshima to Kure City and back, Hiroshima to Shin Kobe, Shin Kobe to Shin Osaka, Shin Osaka to Okayama, Okayama to Kurashiki (Yakumo), Kurashiki back to Shin Osaka, Shin Osaka to Kyoto (Thunderbird), Kyoto to Himeji (Haruka to Shin Osaka then Shinkansen), Himeji to Osaka (Super Hakuto), Osaka to Kyoto (Thunderbird) and finally Kyoto to Kansai Airport (Haruka). However, if you are looking to go to Amanohashidate, this pass does not cover the limited express Hashidate. You should instead be looking at the Sanyo Sanin pass instead (don't make the same mistake I did). Difference is only 1000 yen.
