Western Japan's gateway connecting Hiroshima to the world.

Opened
1993
Location
Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
Hiroshima Airport (HIJ/RJOA) is the main commercial airport serving Hiroshima, Japan, located approximately 50 kilometers east of central Hiroshima city in Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture. It sits on an elevated plateau at about 335 meters above sea level, which can make it susceptible to low visibility and fog conditions. The airport opened in 1993, replacing the older Hiroshima West Airport, and handles both domestic and international flights. It serves as an important regional hub in western Japan, connecting Hiroshima to major domestic destinations as well as international routes across Asia. Despite its regional role, Hiroshima Airport has faced challenges due to competition from Shinkansen high-speed rail services, which offer fast and convenient connections to Osaka, Tokyo, and other major cities, limiting some air travel demand on domestic routes.
Terminals
The airport has a single integrated terminal building handling both domestic and international passenger operations.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to central Hiroshima is primarily provided by limousine bus services, with the journey taking approximately 45–60 minutes; no direct rail link connects the airport to the city.
Airlines here
Major airlines operating at Hiroshima Airport include All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan Airlines (JAL), and several international carriers including China Eastern Airlines and Asiana Airlines.
