Do the five days have to be used consecutively?

Yes. Once activated, the pass is valid for five consecutive calendar days, so plan your travel window before you start using it.

Is the Shinkansen included?

No. The pass covers JR local trains, buses, and the designated ferry, but not Shinkansen bullet train services.

Can I collect the pass on a later day rather than at the airport?

The redemption point listed is the H.I.S. counter at KIX Terminal 1 Arrival Hall. If you are not arriving via KIX, contact the operator before booking to confirm alternative collection options.

Do I need to print my ticket?

You need to present your booking confirmation (digital or printed) at the H.I.S. counter to collect the physical rail pass. The pass itself is a physical card you carry with you.

Is this pass available to Japanese nationals?

No. The JR Kansai-Hiroshima Area Pass is exclusively for foreign tourists visiting Japan. You will need to show a foreign passport at collection.

Does the pass cover the Haruka express from Osaka (Tennoji) as well as Kyoto?

The supplier data confirms coverage between Kansai International Airport and Kyoto on the Haruka. Check the full JR West route map for intermediate stops along that line.
