  2. Check the bus destination and bus stop number first.

    The official stop guide lists 1 for Bus Centre via Nakasuji, 2 for Hiroshima Station, 4 for Shiraichi/Saijo and 5 for taxis. The Bus Centre departures at 09:30, 13:05 and 18:15 run via Hiroshima Station and board at stop 2. Even though they are bound for the same bus centre, these three buses do not stop at Nakasuji.

  3. Prepare a cash ticket or support card/digital ticket.

    Cash users can buy the appropriate ticket from the 1F lobby machine. The one-way ticket to the station or bus centre is 1,500 yen for adults and 750 yen for children. You can compare ticket machine credit card payment, supported transit IC, supported card touch payment and MOBIRY TRAVEL digital ticket. Suica, ICOCA, etc. are available, but PiTaPa is not accepted for Hiroden and Geiyo services. IC charging is not possible on these two companies' buses, so fill up the balance in advance.

  4. Confirm the destination before loading your bags.

    Limousine buses have unreserved seats, and if they are full, you must check the next bus. Place your suitcase in the trunk according to the driver's instructions, and carry valuables, breakable items, and mobile batteries with you. Large and special luggage Operator baggage rulesfirst.

Check whether your accommodation at Hiroshima Station is north or south.

Station-bound buses arrive at Hiroshima Station · 広島駅, north/Shinkansen Exit · 新幹線口. If it is a hotel in the north, pick up your luggage and move towards the accommodation address.

For hotels in the south and in front of the station, you must go from the north to the south through the free passageway of the station. If you consider the north and south exits of the station as the same exit, you can go back with your luggage.

Hiroden trams now board on 2F of the southern station building. Changes after opening in August 2025 Hiroden station and boarding guidefor the passageway connected to the JR North Exit. Don't follow the pictures of the old overground train platform outside. For large luggage, use the elevator on the information map and move in the direction of ‘路面電車／Tram’ on the sign.

If you are moving to an accommodation near Kamiyacho or the Atomic Bomb Dome compare Line 2 towards Miyajimaguchi/Nishi-Hiroshima or Line 6 towards Eba.

If you are around Kamiyacho, start by getting off at the bus centre.

Hiroshima Bus Centre · 広島バスセンター is on Sogo Hiroshima’s 3F. For Kamiyacho · 紙屋町, the Dome or northern park hotels, compare this arrival with a tram change from JR. ‘Bus Centre’ does not refer to the bus stop in front of Hiroshima Station.

Collect your bags, then use the 3F terminal plan to follow passages/lifts to ground level. Airport-bound stop 2 is a departure bay, so you should not assume that the arriving bus will necessarily stop at that number. If your accommodation is near Hondori or Hatchobori, enter your address to check the walking route from the drop-off point to your destination. Don’t start walking towards the Atomic Bomb Dome just by looking at the name of the accommodation.

The official walking guide from Bus Centre → Atomic Bomb Dome is about 5 minutes. Consider this time based on ground travel, and add the time to come down from the 3rd floor, crosswalk, and luggage movement separately. Bus Centre → Atomic Bomb Dome Walking Directions

Cross the bridge from the Atomic Bomb Dome to Peace Memorial Park

Atomic Bomb Dome · 原爆ドーム and Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park · 平和記念公園 are separate locations. If you walk southwest from the bus centre, you will first approach the Atomic Bomb Dome. Hiroshima City’s viewing guidance, the dome is viewed from outside the enclosure and cannot be entered inside.

You can enter the northeastern part of the park by crossing Motoyasu Bridge · 元安橋 on the south side of the dome. Move further south along the trail to the cenotaph and museum in the park. Official city information is that it takes about 10 minutes from the bus centre to the park, but the final section varies depending on the facility to be visited. Use the park map to distinguish between the cenotaph and the museum.

If you take the train from the station, get off at the Genbaku Dome-mae · 原爆ドーム前 stop and walk toward the dome. This is a different stop from the railway station, JR Hiroshima Station. In front of the Atomic Bomb Dome → Park Memorial Monument Walking Directions

There is also an alternative to transfer to JR at Shiraichi Station.

Shiraichi Station · 白市駅 is a JR Sanyo Main Line station outside the airport terminal. From airport 1F stop 4, take the Geiyo Bus and get off at Shiraichi Station, then transfer to JR towards Hiroshima/Iwakuni. Check your destination to make sure you don't take the opposite direction, Mihara/Fukuyama.

Bus tickets can be purchased at the airport ticket machine, and JR tickets can be purchased separately at the station.

In addition to the on-board journey time for buses and trains, time to collect luggage from the bus and walk to the station, moving to the ticket gate and platform, and waiting time for the train are added. The bus 09:05→09:19 and 10:00→10:13 are scheduled examples, and there are timeslots where 12:15 is followed by 14:15, so it should not be thought of as a constant short interval.
