How to get to Hiroshima from Kansai Airport?

From Kansai International Airport, where many international flights take off and land, Hiroshima can be reached by JR and Shinkansen trains. We also recommend touring routes that include Osaka, Kobe, and Okayama.

How can I get to Hiroshima from major cities in Japan?

Shinkansen trains run from major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka to Hiroshima. From Hiroshima Station, you can access all parts of the prefecture. The Shinkansen is a fast and convenient way to travel within Japan, but if you are traveling from Tokyo to Hiroshima, you can reach Hiroshima in 1 hour and 30 minutes by plane.
