Hi, Ifm planning a Kansai area trip.My flight will arrive KIX at 1515, if I want to go to Hiroshima, what transport should I take?When will you travel? In what month?
Will you go also to Miyajima Island?
(Hiroshima is outside the Kansai area.)
You first head to Shin-Ōsaka Station,
then make a transfer there to the Shinkansen.
From KIX,
you can take a JR Limited Express Haruka to Shin-Ōsaka;
you enter the Shinkansen zone via the transfer gate.
From Namba,
you can take a subway train to Shin-Ōsaka;
you exit the subway via the gate,
follow signs for the Shinkansen,
and you enter the JR Shinkansen zone via the gate.
I also want to visit Kobe, Nara. You can visit Kobe and Himeji
on your way to or back from Hiroshima.
From Namba,
you can take a subway train to Umeda,
exit the subway,
walk to nearby Ōsaka Station of JR, enter JR,
and take a Special Rapid train to Sannomiya in Kobe.
(I recommend you avoid the weekday morning commuters' rush.)
You can go between Shin-Ōsaka and Himeji by the Shinkansen.
From Sannomiya,
you can take a JR Special Rapid train to Himeji.
JR-West Kansai-Hiroshima Area Pass
can cover your JR rides
between Shin-Ōsaka | Ōsaka
and Nara | Kobe | Himeji | Hiroshima | Miyajima.
To get to Nara,
because you start from Namba,
Kintetsu may be a little easier than JR;
you can take a Kintetsu train
from Ōsaka-Nabma to Kintetsu-nara.
Kintetsu Rail Pass (1-day or 2-day)
can cover your Kintetsu rides;
this pass can work also as Nara Kotsu bus pass.
