Transportation with the JR Kansai Hiroshima Pass,
Famous tourist attractions can be visited with the Setouchi SEA LINE One-Day Pass.
Did you know that beyond the Setouchi coast in Hiroshima City, there is a famous tourist site registered as a World Cultural Heritage? However, because they are all located on an island, the transportation costs are high and communication is not good, so it can take a lot of time. We recommend the SEA LINE One-Day Pass, a product that solves those shortcomings at once!
