Fukuoka to Hiroshima Map

Plan your trip between Fukuoka and Hiroshima on the Sanyo Shinkansen line. The route departs from Hakata Station and stops at stations such as Kokura and Shin-Shimonoseki before arriving in Hiroshima. The journey crosses the Kanmon Straits via an undersea tunnel connecting Kyushu and Honshu islands. You will travel through the Yamaguchi prefecture's coastal and mountainous landscapes. These views provide a geographic overview of the western Japan transport system.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

Rail travel on the Shinkansen provides the fastest link between these city centers, as Hakata and Hiroshima stations are centrally located. Buses offer a lower-cost alternative but take significantly longer. Flights are not a practical option for this specific distance due to the time required for airport security and transfers. The Shinkansen remains the most time-effective choice for travel between Fukuoka and Hiroshima.
