Fukuyama, an intermediate stop on the San'yo Shinkansen line, is approximately 25 minutes from Hiroshima via the Hikari (�4800), one hour from Osaka (�7850) and 90 minutes from Fukuoka (�11000). One-seat rides on the Nozomi depart once per hour from Kyoto (80 minutes, �8700), Nagoya (2 hours, �12200) and Tokyo (3 3/4 hours, �17200).
You cannot use the Nozomi with the Japan Rail Pass; if coming from Tokyo, Nagoya or Kyoto you will have to change trains en-route. However, there are two early-morning Hikari trains from Nagoya and Kyoto that offer a one-seat ride to Fukuyama.
