Ando Station

About This Station

Ando Station on Hiroshima's Astram Line (rubber-tired automated people mover system) serves northwestern Hiroshima residential suburbs approximately 30-40 minutes from central Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park area. The system provides local connectivity within the city's northern growth corridor without downtown congestion. Lack of JR connections limits interchange flexibility constraining access to regional employment. The station area develops gradually with modest residential and shopping facilities. Astram's 22-station network remains focused on local circulation rather than long-distance travel. Investment appeal centers on family residential demand in quieter suburban areas. Downside risks include limited employment connectivity and secondary-market positioning.
