In Hiroshima ticket office we tried to make a seat reservation with our Kansai-Hiroshima JR passes. The agent at the office said that JR passes don't allow free reservations and we must travel in the reservation-free carriage. He said that three reserved places from Hiroshima to Shin-Osaka would cost us 15,000 yen, even with JR passes!
I wonder if anybody else has had this problem of ticket office staff not accepting that JR passes give the right to make free reservations.

The full JR passes allow you to make free seat reservations. Most regional passes do not.
