Getting to Hiroshima
Hiroshima Airport (HIJ) connects to domestic destinations in
Japan
as well as Beijing, Shanghai, Seoul and Taipei.
By train
Hiroshima is a major station on the San'yo
Shinkansen line to
Osaka (90 minutes) and Fukuoka. Cheaper but
slower local services radiate out to other cities in the region.
By bus
Night buses from Tokyo take 12 hours and cost
around ¥12,000, making this the cheapest (but not the most
comfortable) way of getting here.
Getting Around Hiroshima
By tram
Hiroshima is the last major city in Japan with an extensive tram
network known as Hiroden, an excellent way of getting around. Most
trams converge on JR Hiroshima Station. Trips within the city are a
flat ¥150, while trundling out all the way to
Miyajima will set you back ¥270.
By metro
The modern if strangely named Astram links western Hiroshima to its
northern suburbs, but is unlikely to be of use for most visitors.
