Fukuoka
The southernmost city covered with the pass is Fukuoka, which will surprise visitors through its unique culture; its harbor area, located opposite Korea, was the center of the first exchanges between Japan and the rest of the Asian continent.
Fukuoka has its share of beautiful shrines and temples for those looking for historic sites. One of the most famous districts of Fukuoka, Hakata, is world-renowned by foodies for its street food and legendary Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen, a local noodle delicacy with a broth made of simmered pork bones.
A charming blend of urbanity and tradition, it is a historic area that is a must-travel.
Hiroshima
Hiroshima, a relatively short Shinkansen ride from Osaka and Kyoto in Kansai, has earned a poignant place in the world's history where the first atomic bomb was dropped in 1945. But this modern city offers more than just memories. With its Peace Memorial Park, it's a city of hope. It offers visitors numerous tourist attractions, including a reconstructed Hiroshima castle and Shukkei-en gardens.
Additionally, Hiroshima is often cited for its culinary culture, providing unique interpretations of Japanese street foods, such as Okonomiyaki, which often has yakisoba at the bottom to differentiate it from the more classic Osaka rendition. Oysters are also a famous delicacy of Hiroshima, often eaten raw or in other dishes. Visit this symbolic city of culture and history!
Area of Chugoku
The pass also includes places such as Izumi Shrine in Shimane, Tottori and its famous sand dunes, Tsuruga in Fukui, known for its great beaches, as well as Takamatsu on the island of Shikoku and Uno stations, both access points to Naoshima art island. This area is easily accessible via train rail from Hiroshima.
Area of Kansai
Make sure you do not miss Korakuen gardens in Okayama, one of Japan's top three gardens. The pass also allows you to use transport between Osaka, Nara and Kyoto, and the Ferry to Miyajima in Hiroshima, where you can admire the famous Torii of Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
