I'm thinking that maybe I want to add Hiroshima to my list of travels..
I do have a 21 JR PASS that I would like to use while I'm there, though I'm not going to start using it until March 29th..

Does anyone have any recommendations? or comments?
Anywhere that I should go for my first time to Japan that I'm missing?

Thank you for reading~!

I would suggest you schedule in that trip to Hiroshima to make the 21ay JR Rail Pass pay off, at the moment your itinerary could have been done for several thousand Yen less using single ticketing.

@ RobBeer
Thank you very much, I thought as much; and I was worried about time. But I'll edit my schedule so I can spend 2-3 days there~
Thank you very much~!
