Hiroshima Electric Railway

Hiroshima Electric Railway (Hiroden) is Japan’s largest streetcar operator, with nine lines.
When riding, note that it has unique rules that are like a mix of trains and buses. First, the entrance and exit doors are separate, so use them accordingly. Only the Miyajima Line uses distance-based fares like a conventional railway; the city lines have a flat fare of 190 yen for adults and 100 yen for children. Payment is made when you get off: either put cash directly into the fare box or tap an IC card. On cars without a conductor, you must press the stop button when getting off to notify the driver. Another highlight is the variety of rolling stock. There are cars purchased from other companies, cars donated from the sister city of Hanover, and even cars that survived the atomic bombing and still operate. Some cars have also been extensively remodeled into event vehicles, such as the "Beer Train" and the "Oden & Sake Train." Access to Hiroden Hiroshima Station is about a 1-minute walk from JR Hiroshima Station.
