Hiroshima to Fukuyama Map

Plan your trip between Hiroshima and Fukuyama on the Sanyo Shinkansen line. This short travel segment within Japan passes through Higashi-Hiroshima and Mihara stations on local services. The transport system follows the Seto Inland Sea coastline, providing glimpses of the water and coastal mountains. Use the Shinkansen line to navigate the Hiroshima Prefecture efficiently between these two historical hubs.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

Rail travel on the Shinkansen provides the fastest city-center connection for this short distance, taking under 30 minutes. Buses are available but take significantly longer due to highway traffic and local stops. Air travel is not a feasible option for this route as there are no direct flights between these neighboring cities. The train offers the highest frequency of departures and the most direct access to city landmarks.
