Hiroshima From Minamoa Station Building
About the minamoa Hiroshima Camera
This camera films from the third floor of the west wing of minamoa, the station building that opened at JR Hiroshima Station in March 2025. It looks out over the streets below, where trams, buses, cars and pedestrians all cross.
The station rebuild changed how the city's trams work. Hiroshima has the largest surviving tram network in Japan, and the new building was designed so that tram tracks run up into it rather than stopping outside, bringing the streetcars directly into the station complex.
Hiroshima itself needs little introduction. The Peace Memorial Park and the A-Bomb Dome are a short tram ride west of here, Hiroshima Castle sits north of the centre, and Miyajima with its floating torii is reachable within the hour.
