Kobe to Hiroshima Destination Reviews

DM

The response from 12GO was helpful. However we waisted important travel time trying to get our tickets with the QR codes at the Shinkansen gates. In one instance we had to pay cash for one ticket and in the next instance couldn’t get two of our tickets and had to enlist rail employee help. Kind of unfortunate…..
