Many people may imagine Narita Airport (NRT) just outside of Tokyo as the point of entry for visiting Japan, however, it is recommended to touch down Kansai Airport (KIX) serving Osaka and Kyoto area unless you have other business in Tokyo.

The hyperdia-timetable is a great tool for planning connections between airports and Hiroshima (Note: enter the name of the airport such as "Kansai Airport" as your start point.)

The following are possible alternatives to get Hiroshima:

Once you get either Hiroshima Airport or JR Hiroshima Station (Shinkansen), please consult with the following:

Okonomiyaki

No trip to Hiroshima is complete without sampling Hiroshima Style "okonomiyaki."wikipedia - okonomiyaki

Friendly warning: all IETF hotels and the ANA venue will smell distinctly like okonomiyaki from Tuesday onward.
