Morning All,
I'm arriving in Hiroshima and was wondering if I had a 7 day rail pass if tis would get me from the airport into the city? I have read I can use the pass for the Ferry. I am also looking at traveling to Kyoto for a day trip, I have always wanted to experience a Onsen, but since I have Tattoos I could not find anywhere in Hiroshima to is it. I'm just a bit confused to where abuts I can use a rail pass on? Or would it be better just to buy single tickets each time?
Thank for your advise and help.

You should give more info on your full itinerary. If you're just going from Hiroshima to Kyoto and back, a 7 day JR Pass would not pay off. Instead, you should look at getting a JR Kansai Hiroshima Area Pass.

It is far cheaper.
There is no direct access by train to Hiroshima Airport. You can catch a bus from the airport to Hiroshima City, or a bus to Mihara Stn and then get the bullet train into Hiroshima, or a bus or taxi to Kochi Stn not too far from the airport.
The Sankeien Garden is next to the airport and if you have the time, is worth a look.
Most onsen turn away people with tatoos. It's a symbol connected with the mafia and it gives other guests the creeps. Maybe you could go to an onsen if you covered the tatoos with a bandage, but no promises.
