Hiroshima

It took about 3 hours shinkansen (Hikari) ride from Kyoto to Hiroshima.














Maybe I didn’t search enough info, but I had no idea that the Atomic Bomb site is located about 20 to 25 minute by tram from JR Hiroshima station.














Take the south exit of JR Hiroshima station and take tram No.2 to get to A-bomb site (Genbaku Domu in Japanese). It cost 150 yen one way. There’s a coin exchange machine at the tram station.














Map from tourist centre in Hiroshima Station is really useful as it shows complete tram route. I have scanned and upload the map. Download the PDF map here.

These two websites have a good information about Hiroshima, including a sound guide which you can download to your ipod.
