Shinkansen hopping on Tokyo to Hiroshima trip 2019/3/2 16:12
Overall trip is from Tokyo to Hiroshima. Is it possible to take the Hikari from Tokyo to Shin-Osaka then simply wait at the platform (or in the already-paid-for-my-ticket area of the station) for the Sakura to reach Hiroshima? Similar to jumping from a local train to an express by waiting on the platform.

This is assuming I have a JR pass.

Of course with a JR Pass you can hop on and off freely.

(This would also be possible on a regular ticket, by the way.)

Can also use reserved seating if you make a reservation beforehand.

Easier transfers are usually at Shin-Kobe - you don't need to change platform.
