Thanks for answering my question. I will look into booking a plane ticket from Narita to Hiroshima, I didn't realize flying would be so much cheaper than taking the train. I might stay at a hotel close to Narita airport my first night. I didn't consider staying overnight in Miyajima, I think I'll do that. Are there no regional passes that I could buy to decrease the cost? Is it cheaper if I just buy single tickets plus the Tokyo Wide Pass? Thanks for all your help.
