Hiroshima Station

About This Station

Hiroshima is the regional capital of Western Honshu, serving 1.2 million residents with multiple tram lines and limited express rail service on the Hiroshima Electric Railway Line 2. The city is a major gateway to Miyajima and Hiroshima Peace Memorial attractions. Population has been declining at -1% annually. Residential rental units average 3,800-4,600 yen per tsubo with yields of 5.5-6.5% due to lower prices. The station district has experienced modest redevelopment (2015-2023). Tourism provides supplementary income but cannot anchor residential fundamentals. This is a secondary market play suitable for conservative investors seeking stable yields.
