Jr west Hiroshima area pass

Hi there,

Planning to go to Japan soon,
During my trip, I will spend 4 days in Osaka an then 3 days in Hiroshima and 1 on Miyajima. I was thinking about buying every ticket separately then I saw the JR west Hiroshima area pass.

Is it worth it if I buy it on my last day in Osaka (during which I transit to Hiroshima) ? This is a bit tricky since I don't go back to Osaka after Hiroshima.

How I see it :

  • First day of pass Osaka > Hiroshima, chilling in Hiroshima
  • Second day visiting hiroshima and museum
  • Third day going to Onomichi and shimamami kaido doing part of the cycling road then back to Hiroshima
  • Fourth day going to Miyajima and spending the night there
  • Fifth day back to Hiroshima and shinkansen to Tokyo

A few questions
– does the pass work on busses in Onomichi ? Which train to hop on from Hiroshima ? Does the "Kodama" work for instance ?
– does the pass work with Hiroshima trams ?

Thanks a bunch !
