Kusatsu-Minami Station

About This Station

Kusatsu-Minami on Hiroshima's Miyajima tram line is a feeder stop for the iconic Itsukushima Shrine tourist corridor. While tram service is frequent and affordable (300 yen typical fares), the station itself lacks direct express access to Hiroshima city center. The area surrounding the station is residential with some shops catering to pilgrims and tourists. STR demand peaks seasonally around shrine visits; year-round occupancy remains 35-45%. Yields 3.0-3.5% depending on seasonal pricing. Best suited for operators managing seasonal STR portfolios targeting shrine tourists rather than long-term residential demand.
