To take a streetcar in Hiroshima is to take ride back in time. Notable throughout Japan for the sheer number of streetcars, and its light rail system in general, Hiroshima takes great pride in still offering this gradually disappearing travel option.Known as the Hiroden and employing over 300 streetcars, seeing one roll slowly down Hiroshima’s streets can rouse nostalgia for some. Since 1912, streetcars have moved the people of Hiroshima from place to place, rarely stopping. Indeed, only three days after the atomic bombing, the streetcars were up and running again in the city. There are even a couple streetcars still in service today from those early days.Because Hiroshima actually buys up other city’s’ discontinued trolleys, there are a variety of streetcars to choose from. This preservation of a part of Japanese culture is one of the reasons the Hiroden is also known as the Moving Streetcar Museum. A great way to see the city!- See more at: https://www.insidejapantours.com/blog/2015/08/04/top-eight-things-to-do-in-hiroshima/#sthash.cle0pJfR.dpuf
