Fukuyama to Hiroshima Trains

On the Fukuyama to Hiroshima route, the primary train service available is the Shinkansen, specifically the Sakura service. This train operates at speeds of up to 240 km/h (149 mph), making the journey between Fukuyama and Hiroshima in approximately 30 minutes. The Sakura Shinkansen offers comfortable seating options in both Ordinary and Green class, catering to various passenger preferences. The train makes limited stops, providing a swift connection between these two cities. In contrast, the local train services, such as the Sanyo Main Line, take around 1 hour and 15 minutes for the same trip and while they are more affordable, they do not provide the same level of speed and comfort as the Shinkansen. For travelers focused on minimizing travel time, the Sakura service is the more efficient option, while the local train is better suited for those who don't mind a longer journey and wish to explore the routes at a slower pace.
