Hiroshima Airport (HIJ, ICAO RJOA) is not in Hiroshima city — it is in the hills near Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture, about 51 km by road east of Hiroshima Station. Domestic and international flights share one terminal (1F arrivals, 2F departures) and there is no rail link: the airport limousine bus — Hiroshima Kotsu and Chugoku JR Bus, ¥1,500 to Hiroshima Station in about 50 minutes or to the Bus Centre in about 55 — is the only public transport. RydAgent fixed-price transfers run from Hiroshima Airport to Hiroshima Station, the Peace Memorial Park hotels, Miyajimaguchi (the Miyajima ferry pier), Onomichi, Kure, Fukuyama and Iwakuni.

Domestic and international flights share one building: 1F is the arrivals lobby for both, 2F is departures. There is no rail link — the airport is in the hills near Mihara, east of the city.
As standard, your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. Collect your bags, clear customs, walk out — the name board is the first thing you look for. If airport conditions ever make a name board impossible (peak-hour parking restrictions, for example), the driver sends you a photo and their exact location in the chat on your booking page, so you are never left searching. At Hiroshima the driver waits in the 1F arrivals lobby (domestic and international arrivals share it) and walks you to the car. Hiroshima Airport has no rail link. Public transport into town means the airport bus (about 50 minutes to Hiroshima Station) and then a taxi or a walk with your luggage at the other end.
The table compares every realistic way to cover the 45–51 km from Hiroshima Airport to Hiroshima Station: rail and bus fares are per person and metered taxi fares are a range, while the RydAgent price is one fixed amount for the whole vehicle. Full detail, including how each option handles luggage and late arrivals, is on the Hiroshima Airport to Hiroshima Station route page.
| Option | Price | Time | Transfers | Luggage | Door to door |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highway bus | ¥1,500 / person | ~50 min | 0 | Stored in the hold | No |
| Taxi / Uber Taxi (metered) | ¥15,000–20,000 + tolls | ~45 min | 0 | Sedan — 4 seats, 1–2 bags | Yes |
| RydAgent · Alphard (up to 4) | ¥29,000 all-in (÷4 ≈ ¥7,250) | ~45 min | 0 | 4 large cases, loaded for you | Yes |
| RydAgent · HiAce (up to 9) | ¥32,000 all-in (÷9 ≈ ¥3,556) | ~45 min | 0 | up to 9 passengers, 9 large cases | Yes |
Hiroshima Airport has no train, and the ¥1,500 limousine bus to Hiroshima Station is the only public link — after the last bus, a metered taxi from the airport rank is the fallback, and at this distance that is a five-figure fare. A car booked to your flight avoids the question entirely: same fixed price to Hiroshima, Miyajimaguchi or Onomichi at any hour.
Expressway tolls, airport parking, fuel and taxes are all inside the price. No meter, no night surcharge, and tipping is never expected.
We track your flight number, and the 90 minutes of free waiting are counted from the moment you actually land — a delay moves the clock, it never eats into your wait.
A dedicated English-speaking agent answers within minutes at any hour, before and during the trip. Your booking page shows your driver's name, car and plate once assigned, and usually their live location once they're on the way.
If our driver doesn't show, we refund the fare, cover the replacement ride you actually take, and pay ¥10,000 on top. We contact you first — you never have to claim.
In Japan, only cars licensed for paid passenger service (they carry green number plates) and drivers with a professional passenger licence may carry paying passengers. Every RydAgent ride uses both, including rides run by partner companies, and carries commercial passenger insurance. Private “white-plate” cars taking fares are illegal; we never use them.

The airport limousine bus (Hiroshima Kotsu / Chugoku JR Bus) is ¥1,500 to Hiroshima Station in about 50 minutes (the same fare to the Bus Centre), and it is good value for one or two people. A fixed ¥29,000 car (up to 4) or ¥32,000 HiAce (up to 9) is the choice for families, luggage, a hotel away from the station, Miyajima or Onomichi, or a flight that lands after the last bus — about 45 minutes to Hiroshima Station door to door.
Hiroshima Airport to Hiroshima Station is a fixed ¥29,000 for an Alphard (up to 4) or ¥32,000 for a HiAce (up to 9 passengers), all-inclusive. The Peace Memorial Park, Miyajimaguchi (the ferry pier for Miyajima), Onomichi, Kure, Fukuyama and Iwakuni each have a fixed price on the route pages below.
No. Hiroshima Airport is in the hills near Mihara, about 51 km from the city, and the only public link is the airport limousine bus to Hiroshima Station (¥1,500, about 50 minutes) — then a tram, taxi or train onward. A car takes the group straight from the 1F arrivals lobby to the hotel, the Miyajima ferry pier or Onomichi.
Yes — book the airport to Miyajimaguchi route and the driver drops you at the ferry pier; the ferry to the island is a short crossing. It is a common first day: land, drive to Miyajimaguchi, cross to the shrine, and island ryokan meet the ferry with luggage carts.
No. An airport taxi is metered and hailed at the rank on the spot; a Hiroshima Airport private transfer is a pre-booked car at a fixed all-inclusive price, with a named driver who tracks your flight and waits at arrivals with a name board. On longer airport runs the fixed price is usually close to or below the meter; on very short runs a taxi can be cheaper for one person — the comparison table on each HIJ route page shows both, with real fares.
As standard, your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. Collect your bags, clear customs, walk out — the name board is the first thing you look for. If airport conditions ever make a name board impossible (peak-hour parking restrictions, for example), the driver sends you a photo and their exact location in the chat on your booking page, so you are never left searching.
Nothing changes for you. We track the flight number, and free waiting at Hiroshima Airport is 90 minutes counted from the moment the flight actually lands — a delay simply moves the clock. Beyond 90 minutes, waiting is billed in 15-minute blocks (Alphard ¥6,000/hour, HiAce ¥8,000/hour). The driver never leaves without telling you.
If your arriving flight is cancelled by the airline, you choose: a free rebooking to your new flight (free waiting restarts from the new landing time) or a full refund. This applies even inside the 24-hour window before pickup — the cancellation isn't your fault, so it isn't treated as one.
A Hiroshima Airport pickup can be booked online until 20:00 Japan time the day before the pickup, with instant confirmation on fixed-price routes. For a same-day pickup, message us on WhatsApp and we'll see whether a car can be arranged — it isn't guaranteed. For peak dates (cherry blossom, Golden Week, Obon, year-end) book a few days ahead so the HiAce (up to 9 passengers) is still available.
Yes. The Hiroshima Airport transfer price you see is the price you pay: expressway tolls, airport parking, fuel and taxes are all inside it, and tipping is never expected. There is no late-night surcharge either — a 1 a.m. pickup costs the same as a 1 p.m. one.
Yes — ¥2,000 per seat, fitted before pickup. Tell us the children's ages when you book so the right type is installed.
The Toyota HiAce: nine passengers and nine large suitcases in one vehicle, one fixed price. The Alphard takes up to 4 passengers with 4 large cases. With fewer passengers, empty seats carry luggage too (passengers plus large suitcases up to 8 in the Alphard, 18 in the HiAce). Both are shown with prices on every Hiroshima Airport route page.
Yes. The price you see is the price you pay — tolls, parking, fuel and taxes are all included, and meet & greet with a name board at arrivals is standard. Free waiting is 90 minutes from your actual landing. Tipping is never expected — never required. The only extras are options you choose yourself, such as child seats or waiting beyond the free allowance. Waiting past the free allowance is ¥6,000/hour for an Alphard and ¥8,000/hour for a HiAce, in 15-minute blocks — and your driver does not leave when it runs out: if he has another transfer after yours, we reassign it so he can keep waiting. The only exception: if we get no reply from you on any channel the day before and on the day itself, the driver may leave once the free 90 minutes from your actual landing are up.
