From the rest of the prefecture
- Kure: bus from the Clayton Bay Hotel and Kure station.
- Fukuyama: direct bus, shared taxi, or JR to Shirachi and a bus.
- Bingo-Fuchu: highway bus to Kosaka bus stop, then change for the airport.
- The airport publishes nine separate direction guides, adding Mihara and Takehara, Konu and Sera, Onomichi and Innoshima, Higashi-Hiroshima and Saijo, Miyajimaguchi, and destinations outside the prefecture.
Why it is like this
- Hiroshima Airport is about 50 km east of the city, on a plateau near Mihara. It is not close to anything.
- The old airport at Hiroshima-Nishi is far closer to the centre but takes only small aircraft.
- The distance is the single most important planning fact here. Allow properly for it in both directions.
What people come for
- The Peace Memorial Park and Museum in the city.
- Miyajima and the Itsukushima shrine, reached from Miyajimaguchi.
- The Shimanami Kaido cycle route from Onomichi across to Shikoku.
