Times and fares are estimates. Check the fare at the station before you ride. The same trains run the other way, from Hiroshima to Shin-Ōsaka.
One way costs about ¥10,440, 21% of a 7-day JR Pass bought online (¥50,000). The pass pays off only when all your JR trips in those 7 days cost more than that.
