In Okayama, a switch to a rapid train is required to continue onto Takamatsu. From Takamatsu, both local and limited express trains complete the trip to Tokushima. A one way trip from Tokyo costs about 19,000 yen and takes about 6-7 hours. From Osaka, the one way cost is around 10,500 yen and the trip duration is about four hours. The journeys are fully covered by the Japan Rail Pass, but pass holders will need to use Hikari or Sakura rather than Nozomi or Mizuho trains along the Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen.
