What to do and see in Hiroshima, Chugoku: The Best Transportation
A trip to Hiroshima is best kicked off with a visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, which contains a museum, the remnants of buildings destroyed by the 1945 atomic bomb and monuments to the people killed by this nuclear attack. Understanding Hiroshima’s relatively recent devastation is key to fully appreciating its beauty and culture. Visit splendidly rebuilt historic sites like Hiroshima Castle and Shukkei-en Garden, and don’t miss the Itsukushima Shrine on the nearby island of Miyajima.

Known where I’m from as a tram. If you are staying here then the likelihood of using this transportation is high. Very affordable. Remember, you only pay when you get off unless there is a conductor on duty during busy periods.

Free hop on hop off bus service if you have a JR Pass located on the North Exit of Hiroshima Train Station. Found out after arriving that it stops just outside our the "Mitsui Garden Hotel" that we were staying at. Stops include the A Dome, Museum, Peace Park, Art Museum and the Hiroshima Castle. The fact that it is free with the JR Pass enables you to do a few sightseeing circuits to orient yourself with the city.

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to get around Hiroshima, this is the way to do it. The Hiroshima loop bus takes between 40-50 minutes to circle the loop of 7-9 stops. The bus plays recordings that tells you about the city and more information about the stops that’s in English and Japanese. If you’re thinking about the time needed and you enjoy exploring, plan for around 4-5 hours in Hiroshima if you’re only there for the day. This first bus starts at 08:00 (the yellow line), the green line starts at 09:00 and the orange line at 09:15. If you have a Japan rail pass, you won’t pay for the tickets, but if not, it’s ¥400 for adults and ¥200 for kids for a one day ticket. You have the option to pay cash on the bus. If you do, I’d recommend taking the exact fare.
