How to Get There and Around<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Hiroshima Station, you can ride JR San-yo Line and get off at Iwakuni Station. There are buses that travel from Iwakuni Station to Kintai-kyo bus stop every 5-15 minutes. The trip takes around 20 minutes and costs 250 yen.<\/p>\n

A ropeway is provided to access Iwakuni Castle. The lower station of the ropeway can be reached from Kintai Bridge in a 5-minute walk, \u00a0while the castle takes a 5-minute walk from the upper station of the ropeway.<\/p>\n

Tips:<\/strong>\u00a0You had better have exact amount of money to pay the bus fare. If you only have a 1000 yen bill, you need to exchange it into coins, then put them inside the fare box. It takes a little bit more time. Just in case it’s not your lucky day, you might meet a grumpy bus driver who would scold you because you made other people wait! (It did happen to me)<\/p>\n
