KIX to Oriental Hotel Hiroshima with baby late at night. -
02-16-2011, 04:18 PM
My husband, myself and my 10 month baby will arrive at Kansai airport at 9pm on a Thursday night. What is the best way to get to the Oriental Hotel Hiroshima?
Hotel address: 6-10, Tanaka -machi, Naka-ku Hiroshima, Japan 730-0026 1. Will trains and buses run after 10 PM? 2. I hear there is a limousine bus that goes to Hiroshima Bus Terminal. How much does this cost? 3. Once I get to Hiroshima Bus terminal, how far is it to the Oriental Hotel Hiroshima? Can we walk or will we have to catch some other transportation? 4. If I take a train, it stops at JR Hiroshima station. The hotel website says it is 5 minutes away by taxi. I don't have a car seat for my baby, won't that be a problem? 5. By the time I get to Hiroshima, it may be almost midnight. Will I have a problem getting transportation? Thanks in advance for your help!

1. Will trains and buses run after 10 PM?
Trains should run until about 12:30. As long as planes are landing, buses are running. 2. I hear there is a limousine bus that goes to Hiroshima Bus Terminal. How much does this cost? I am not familiar with that. I am not seeing it on the KIX site. Kansai International Airport | Access Information | Bus 4. If I take a train, it stops at JR Hiroshima station. The hotel website says it is 5 minutes away by taxi. I don't have a car seat for my baby, won't that be a problem? Legally? No. Just hold your baby for the ride. 5. By the time I get to Hiroshima, it may be almost midnight. Will I have a problem getting transportation? No, taxis run all night and will be readily available from places like train stations and bus depots. I am guessing the Hiroshima bus terminal is very close to if not connected to the train station.

One night stay is recommended in Osaka.
Only possible means Kansai airport - Osaka (train or bus) There are a lot of alternatives.  *Transfer* Osaka - Hirosima (midnight bus onry) 23:40 - 6:05(arrival)  However, the charge is low-priced.Cryptanalysis is necessary for you. set a goal：English at the same level as Johan Cruyff

The fastest for you is to get on the express train and transfer in SHIN-OSAKA station and get on the SHINKANSEN to hiroshima. the last shinkansen for hiroshima is at 10:29 PM and u will get to hiroshima around midnight. BUT you need to move fast and know your way around the train station in Osaka , there are only few minutes between transfer and with a baby and luggages with you it would be difficult. And u need to get to the 9:04 train from the airport to make it. With immigration check and claiming the baggages i think you will be out from the airport maybe around 10pm depending on how many passengers there are. SO my suggestion is just get to SHIN-OSAKA station and stay at a nearby hotel there and get on the first shinkansen in the morning. I am suggesting SHINKANSEN , because you have a baby. Bus to Hiroshima from Osaka takes about 5 hours and not much room to move around. I don't think you want a grumpy baby on bus.

Thanks everyone for the great advice!
I decided to change my hotel reservation to stay in Kansai Airport Washington Hotel for the first night. Then I will take the train to Shin-Osaka then Hiroshima the following day. I think when I booked the flight, I didn't realize how long it really takes to get to Hiroshima. I'm so excited about seeing Japan. I can't wait!
