I also suggest that if you are buying your ticket at a site other than  
the Airport you know the exact train# you want to ride on.  If you do  
not speak the same language as the ticket office, you can get by with  
the right information on paper.

The JR machines can also sell you NEX (if your travel involves Tokyo)  
and other tickets in English. I presume the similar is also true in  
Kansai/Hiroshima.

I will be taking the Kansai -> Hiroshima trip Saturday after spending  
the night at Kansai. (dtw-msp-nrt[rjaa]-kix[rjbb]).
