Hiroshima Station

Hiroshima Station is the centre of Hiroshima’s public transport. Hiroshima Station includes platforms for the Shinkansen. Hiroshima Station (広島駅 ,Hiroshima-eki) is a JR West railway station located in Minami-ku, Hiroshima, Japan. Hiroshima Station is the terminal station for several lines, and all Sanyō Shinkansen trains stop here. Hiroshima Station features two main entrances: the north—or Shinkansen—entrance, and the south entrance. Until the 1975 opening of the Shinkansen service, the Shinkansen entrance was called the “north entrance,” and many local residents, newspapers, and real estate advertisements continue to refer to it as the “north entrance.” A pedestrian tunnel connects the area in front of the Shinkansen entrance to an underground plaza underneath the south entrance to Hiroshima Station. The tunnel includes many gift shops and restaurants, as well as two exits to Fukuya, one to the Hiroshima Station Tram Stop, one in front of the Hiroshima Higashi Post Office, and one directly in front of the south entrance to Hiroshima Station. Elevator and escalator access is available for several of the entrances. Events are sometimes held in the large area of the underground plaza in front of the entrance to Fukuya. Hiroshima Station Platforms The Shinkansen has two island platforms which can handle a total of four lines. And the non-Shinkansen lines use three island platforms and one side platform capable of handling 8 lines simultaneously. 1 • 2 | █ Sanyō Main Line（lower） to Miyajimaguchi • Iwakuni • Tokuyama █ Kabe Line to Ōmachi • Midorii • Kabe 3 • 4 | █ Kure Line to Kure • Hiro • Takehara █ Kabe Line to Ōmachi • Midorii • Kabe █ Sanyō Main Line（lower） to Miyajimaguchi • Iwakuni • Tokuyama █ Sanyō Main Line（upper） to Saijō • Mihara • Fukuyama 5 • 7 | █ Sanyō Main Line（upper） to Saijō • Mihara • Fukuyama █ Kure Line to Kure • Hiro • Takehara 8 • 9 | █ Geibi Line to Shiwaguchi • Miyoshi 11 • 12 | █ Sanyō Shinkansen（lower） to Shin Yamaguchi • Hakata 13 • 14 | █ Sanyō Shinkansen（upper） to Okayama • Shin-Osaka • Tokyo 0 | used be a platform for the Ujina Line 6 | a line without the platform to change train cars and locomotives 10 | used be a platform for the cargo train services JR LINES █ Sanyō Shinkansen Higashi-Hiroshima Station — Hiroshima Station — Shin-Iwakuni Station █ Sanyō Main Line City Liner Express Seno Station — Hiroshima Station — Yokogawa Station Commuter Liner Express Hachihonmatsu Station — Hiroshima Station Hiroshima Station — Yokogawa Station Local Tenjingawa Station — Hiroshima Station — Yokogawa Station █ Kure Line Akiro Liner Express • Local Tenjingawa Station — Hiroshima Station Commuter Liner Express Yano Station — Hiroshima Station █ Kabe Line Commuter Liner Express • Local Hiroshima Station — Yokogawa Station █ Geibi Line Commuter Liner Express Shimofukawa Station — Hiroshima Station Miyoshi Liner Express • Local Yaga Station — Hiroshima Station Hiroden █ Main Line Line #1, #2, #5 and #6 Hiroshima Station — Enkobashi-cho Hiroshima Station - Connecting bus routes Chugoku JR Bus Chugoku JR bus services are operated between Hiroshima Station at the “Shinkansen entrance” (North side) and next stations via Hiroshima Bus Center.
