- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): ¥10,000 - ¥15,000 (€56 - €84). Use the official taxi rank outside the arrivals terminal. Japan's taxis are metered, so the fare is generally fair, but confirm the driver starts the meter before departing.
- Best alternative: Hiroshima Airport Limousine Bus to Hiroshima Station (¥1,400 (€7.88))
- On Hiroden streetcars, enter from the back and take a numbered ticket (seiriken) when boarding, then pay the fare shown for your zone when exiting at the front. For city buses, use IC cards like ICOCA or Suica, or take a ticket and pay matching the fare board. Fine without a valid ticket: ¥20,000 (€112.62).
- Tipping is not customary in Japan and service is included. Do not tip; leaving money on the table may cause confusion.
- No cover charge, service charge, or bread fee at normal restaurants. Some izakaya may add a small otoshi (table snack) fee, typically 300 to 500 JPY, which is shown on the menu or stated at seating.
- Always select to be charged in JPY and decline dynamic currency conversion. Use bank-attached ATMs such as Japan Post Bank (Yucho), 7-Eleven, or convenience store machines, which accept foreign cards reliably. Independent exchange booths and airport counters often give poorer rates than ATMs.
