Routes

[edit]

There are eight regularly scheduled streetcar routes running on the lines shown above. These routes are usually identified by numbers.

Route 0 services runs during the rush hour along the Ujina Line with short turns at Hiroden Honsha-Mae, or Niseseki-Byoin-Mae. Other service on route 0 includes private charters, special events, and all streetcars that are out of service and returning to Hiroden Honsha-Mae.

Starting August 3, 2025, with the opening of the new Ekimae Ohashi Line, two outbound trips on Route 1 on weekday mornings at 07:32 and 07:51 operate as Rapid services, omitting 3 stops and reducing travel times between Hiroshima Port of Hiroshima Station by approximately one minute.[1][2]

During mid-day, route 7 service turns back at Hiroden Honsha-Mae instead of running all the way to Hiroshima Port. Route 3 currently operates during the morning and afternoon rush hours only.
