Hiroshima Airport sits east of the city, and the airport limousine bus is the direct way in. If Hiroshima is one stop between Kansai and Kyushu, [the Kansai-Hiroshima Area Pass and the other JR West passes](https://travelsmarterasia.com/guides/jr-regional-passes/) are priced in our pass guide, and [the Osaka arrival guide](https://travelsmarterasia.com/guides/osaka-airport-to-city/) covers the Kansai end.

## The airport limousine bus

Hiroshima Airport publishes two routes into the city, on a timetable valid from 25 October 2026 to 31 January 2027:

| To | Adult | Child | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hiroshima Bus Center | 1,500 yen | 750 yen | About 55 minutes |
| Hiroshima Station, Shinkansen exit | 1,500 yen | 750 yen | 45 to 50 minutes |

At the airport, the Bus Center bus leaves from platform 1 and the Hiroshima Station bus from platform 2. The airport's timetable says "You can use transit system IC cards" and also accepts "Touch payment with credit, debit, or prepaid cards that have a touch function." Digital tickets bought through the MOBIRY TRAVEL and Bus Mori! apps are credit card only.

The airport also lists a slower route by local bus to Shiraichi station on the JR Sanyo Line. That bus alone is 490 yen for an adult.

## Hiroden streetcars

Hiroshima Electric Railway, known as Hiroden, charges a flat fare on its city lines: 240 yen for an adult and 120 yen for a child. You pay as you get off. Hiroden's own page lists cash, transit IC cards and WAON. A change machine is on board, but it does not take the new 500 yen coin. Hiroden's pages that we read do not mention bank cards.

Streetcar and bus times are on apps and online timetables, so you want data from the moment you land.

## The Visit Hiroshima Tourist Pass

Hiroden sells this pass for visitors:

It covers "All Hiroshima Electric Railway lines, including the Inner-City and Miyajima lines", both Miyajima ferries (Miyajima Matsudai Kisen and the JR West Miyajima Ferry), route buses inside the area on the ticket, and the meipuru-pu sightseeing loop bus. It does not cover the airport limousine bus, and "This ticket is not valid for JR West Trains." It is sold at Hiroshima Airport, Hiroshima Station and Hiroshima Bus Center.
