Shinkansen Nozomi Prices

Hello!

I bought the JR Sanyo Sanin Pass a few days ago. I don't quite grasp the fees for using the Shinkansen Nozomi. So I will be heading to Fukuoka from Osaka using the Shinkansen Sakura train. If i understand this correctly, the JR pass covers the fee of the Shinkansen Sakura so there are no fees when boarding the train, right? But if I were to use the Shinkansen Nozomi, I would have to pay the Base Fare ticket AND the Ltd. Express ticket? Can someone please help clarify this as if I would have to pay both fees then I'm thinking I might as well fly back instead of using the train.

Thank you in advance!!

If you are talking about Sanyo Sanin Area Pass, then Nozomi is covered.

(You must have read the description for the "nationwide" Japan Rail Pass, if you thought Nozomi was excluded?)

AK is correct. When reserving tickets on the Nozomi with a Sanyo-San'In Area Pass, it's the same as if you had a regular JR Pass. You don't have to pay for anything extra. I just used that pass about a month ago. The restrictions of the JRP when it comes to Nozomi and Mizuho do not apply, but you cannot use it for the Shin-Osaka to Kyoto leg. Only from Shin-Osaka westward.
