Took the bullet train from Fukuoka to Hiroshima and back.
The Tokaido Shinkansen, connecting Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, was inaugurated in the year 1964 as the first shinkansen line and the world's first high speed train. In 1964 the trains already run with speeds of about 200 km/h. Nowadays they reach speeds of over 300 km/h.
Make sure you look at round trip and save! Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Hiroshima has an airfield, but can be best reached within the country by Shinkansen (bullet-train).
The town has a unique tramway. Added by busservices, you can easily get around in Hiroshima. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

From Tokyo JR Station in downtown Tokyo, it took me 5 hours by Hikari bullet train (there's one every 1/2 hour). For a 7-day pass, you get to travel across Japan as many times as you wish. The 7-day pass costs 28300 yen (US$240).
The bullet trains naturally.

Hiroshima has a Shinkansen station which is connected to Osaka and Tokyo in the north and Fukuoka in the south. The closest International Airport would be either Fukuoka or Osaka.
The Shinkansen is by far the most convenient way to travel around Japan. Unfortunately it isn't very cheap! Luckily there is a Japan JR Rail Pass available to foreign travellers. See the JR East website for details:
It must be bought abroad and stamped in Japan before you can use it. There are several options including one week (unlimited JR travel except for the super fast Nozomi service), two week, JR East and JR West passes. Check with your local travel agent for the best option or click on the link to see for yourself!
Here is a link to a very cool page that lets you see the routing between cities/stations/ports within Japan. It will tell you the route and includes the cost and time. http://www.jorudan.co.jp/english/norikae/. Leave a Comment

Hiroshima retained it's thankfully trams with a reasonable broad network consisting of about 6 major routes. This tram system is excellent to get about by. As you would probably arrive at the Shin-Hiroshima train station there is a major tram terminus out the front. There there is a colour coded route map and ticket vending machines. All trams have number and name of destination. Japan is quite unusual when it concerns tickets. They are given to the ticket collector when leaving the tram, this applies with most buses also.

The trams run regularly during the daytime. While I was in Hiroshima, I think the longest wait for a tram was between 5-10mins. Very good prices. Adults to any stop = 150 yen, and children are 100 yen. ($1.50/$1.00 $US).
The trams go everywhere around Hiroshima. At the main JR Train Station, there is the main tram & bus stop, and a detailed map in English and Japanese about all the stops. The buses are also easy to take. About the same prices as the trams. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
