Ticket logic

LOCALIP · SERVICE STATUS
Disruptions & temporary service
Localip has no verified disruption record for this line
This is not a “normal service” indicator. Check the operator’s official service status before departure.
THIS LINE · THREE DECISIONS
Plan Hiroshima streetcar network around tickets, reservations and the arrival district.
Put together what you buy, when a seat decision matters and the part of the city reached after arrival. This is more useful than comparing speed alone—and harder to confuse with a similarly named route.
Reservation decision
A city tram ride is chosen from the vehicle’s route number and destination rather than a seat reservation. Event or disruption information can still alter the expected service.
Arrival district
The tram carries a JR arrival at Hiroshima Station into the city, including the Atomic Bomb Dome-mae stop. The stop serves the Dome; the museum requires an onward walk through the park.

Before you move
- The operator is Hiroshima Electric Railway. Match the company name on signs and gates.
- Check destination, service type and stops, not only the line colour.
- Before paying, use the ticket, reservation and arrival-district cards above as one decision.
- Finish by checking supplements, reserved-seat conditions, through-running and today’s service in the official guide.
THIS LINE · A WORKING FINGERPRINT
Identify Hiroshima streetcar network by company, anchors and destination.
This guide places Hiroshima streetcar network in the Hiroshima Electric Railway network. The working anchors are Hiroshima Station and Atomic Bomb Dome-mae stop; they are not a complete stop list. If a similar colour or station name appears under another company, restart the check as a different route.
04 · READ THIS KIND OF LINE
Read street-running transport from the stop direction.
For street-running transport, the platform across the road or beyond an intersection may serve the opposite direction. Small stops need clear passenger flow, so check how to board, when to pay and the exact stop for leaving through official signs before or during the ride.
- Which side of the road serves my destination?
- Do I pay when boarding or leaving?
- Where is the safe crossing after I get off?
