10 minutes from the bullet train
MAZDA Zoom-Zoom Stadium Hiroshima sits 10 minutes on foot from JR Hiroshima Station — a major Shinkansen stop. Step off the bullet train, walk east, and you're at the ballpark. Few professional stadiums anywhere in the world offer this kind of door-to-door convenience from a high-speed rail station.
Exact location
Minami-kaniya, Minami-ku, Hiroshima. South exit of JR Hiroshima Station, walk east along the elevated walkway. Follow the red jerseys on game days — the crowd makes navigation automatic.
From other cities
From Tokyo: Shinkansen, about 4 hours. From Osaka: Shinkansen, about 1.5 hours. From Fukuoka: Shinkansen, about 1 hour. The station-adjacent location means no additional transit cost or time once you arrive in Hiroshima.
Why MAZDA Stadium is worth the trip
BBQ terraces where you grill while watching baseball. Suna-kaburi (splash zone) seats behind home plate. Hiroshima okonomiyaki and fresh oysters inside the stadium. Carp Udon — the signature dish. One of NPB's most passionate fanbases dressed head-to-toe in red.
Combine with sightseeing
Peace Memorial Park: 15 min by tram from the station. Miyajima Island: JR train + ferry, about 45 min. Both are achievable as pre-game or next-day activities.
