Re: [76attendees] transport from Hiroshima airport to hotel

Hi
Martin

You might know, unfortunately,
named Blue Train via Hiroshima Station is not available now, except
seasonal ones.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Train_(Japan)

So, if someone wants to get that train as an accommodation,
should go to Himeji, Hyogo pref., next to Osaka to transfer it to normal
one.


Well,
when someone wants to come to Hiroshima by bullet train(Shinkansen),
if you could choose Hiroshima as a terminal station,
it's a relief with deep sleep.
There are some trains a day on weekday.

Also Saturday and Holiday by choosing tabs.

Take care
