Can I get a sanity check, please?
I will be on a 2-week tour of South Korea and Japan in August. On Day 14 the tour wakes up in Hiroshima, does touristy stuff, and makes its way overland to Osaka. On the morning of Day 15 the tour ends.
I opted for a flight out of Osaka (Kansai KIX) at 23:30 on Day 14, so I intend to leave the tour group before they leave Hiroshima, and make my own way to Osaka via the Shinkansen (1.5 hours) and then a normal train to KIX (1 hour - or taxi if I feel like it). The tour company is freaking out about it, so they are in turn freaking me out.
Is my plan doable? Can a middle-aged, well-travelled, non-Japanese speaking sheila make that trip in a very safe country by herself? I figure there is less chance of the train(s) being delayed than a mini-van in traffic.
