🚌 Bus Info
Operator: JR Bus Chugoku
Bus Name: Hiroshima Express — Osaka No.1
Seat Type: 3-row independent seats
Route: JR Osaka Station (Highway Bus Terminal) → Hiroshima Station (Shinkansen Exit)
Fare: ¥4,500 JPY (≈ 30 USD)
Duration: About 5.5 hours (10:30 → 15:50)

💡 My Honest Experience (Personal Review)
✔︎ The price is less than half of the Shinkansen
✔︎ 3-row seats feel much more spacious than standard 4-row buses
✔︎ Three rest stops made the long ride easier on the body
✔︎ Having a toilet onboard gives real peace of mind
✔︎ Watching the countryside during the day makes the journey feel relaxed
✔︎ But honestly… the Shinkansen is way faster (1.5 hours vs 5.5 hours)
✔︎ If you value time, take the bullet train. If you value budget, the bus wins.
