READ THIS BEFORE YOU NEED IT

Useful before the trip—and in the moment.

For Visitors arriving at or transferring through a major Japanese airport or station

Before you go

Read this before arrival, with the accommodation address and next operator visible. Large gateways are easier when the destination side is chosen first.

In Japan

Use it outside the passenger flow. Confirm gate side, floor, operator and access conditions before following a single exit number.

Picture this

The Dome is visible when you leave the tram, but road traffic, a crossing, the river and several park paths remain between the stop and the museum entrance. Use this guide to make that walk safe and respectful.

A TRAM ARRIVAL · THREE PAUSES

Treat the route from the tram door to the park entrance as one arrival.

This is a street-level tram stop close to road traffic, not the concourse of a large station. Check the travel direction, the safe crossing and the different positions of the Atomic Bomb Dome and museum.

01
On the tram
Confirm “Atomic Bomb Dome-mae” on the Hiroshima streetcar network display and prepare to pay and leave according to the current on-board instruction.
02
After stepping off
Do not step straight into the road. From the safe waiting area, find the marked crossing and signal, giving moving trams, cars and bicycles priority.
03
Before entering the park
The Dome may already be visible, while the Peace Memorial Museum entrance is farther through the park. Use the river, bridge and pedestrian paths as landmarks, then confirm the next entrance on the official map.

THIS PLACE · THREE LOCAL CLUES

Remember Atomic Bomb Dome-mae stop through a landmark, first orientation and way back.

Instead of memorising every exit, keep three clues that belong to this gateway. They help you make the place small again when construction or signs differ from an old screenshot.

Landmark to hold

The Atomic Bomb Dome may be visible from the tram area, but the Peace Memorial Museum entrance is farther through the park. They are two different arrival landmarks.

First orientation

After leaving the tram, pause in the safe waiting area, find the marked crossing, then use the river, bridge and paths to orient toward the intended park entrance.

A way back

If you can see the Dome but not the museum, do not cross traffic by the shortest-looking line. Reopen the official park access map and follow marked pedestrian crossings and paths.

THIS STOP · STREET TO MEMORIAL PARK

Read Atomic Bomb Dome-mae through direction, crossing and park entrance.

At Atomic Bomb Dome-mae stop, the transport anchor is Hiroshima streetcar network (Hiroshima Electric Railway). The platform for the opposite direction may be on another side of the road, so match the on-board destination first and use a marked crossing after leaving.

The Dome and museum are not one entrance

The Dome is close to the stop; the museum requires a further walk through Peace Memorial Park. Use the river and bridges as orientation points, then check the current pedestrian approach on the official guide.

How to read scale and support

The largest BASE station record connected here is Atomic Bomb Dome-mae Stop (BASE照合表記：原爆ドーム前駅) at 4,956 passenger movements per day. It is one published station record, not a headcount for the whole gateway. The absence of a verified ServicePoint record does not prove that no facility exists. Use a staffed desk and the official map.

03 · A SMALL MENTAL MAP

Connect the tram stop, river, bridge and park as one walking route.

Hiroshima streetcar network is the transport anchor at Atomic Bomb Dome-mae stop. It is not a complete stop list; use it to arrive in the correct direction and cross the road safely. Inside the park, match the Dome, Motoyasu River and bridges with the official map.
