Hiroshima Airport and Limousine Bus

This is the view from the plane when arriving Hiroshima. Mountainous and calm. 

The airport is small, surrounded by mountains. 
The first thing we landed was to activate our StarHub Happy Card Roaming service. For some reason, we failed to get it activated. It was only when we reach hotel that we realised Airport Wifi is not strong enough to activate the card. We also has issue turning on our wifi as well.
As a note, the SilkAir check in counter will only opens at 8.25am for us to check in. (Departure time 10.25). So no point going early. 

There is a information counter (immediately when you exit the arrival hall), where we can get transport ticket here too.

For Limousine bus ticket to hiroshima, there are ticketing machines next door, behind the bus stop. We only realized it after queuing so long for our ticket and miss a bus. We waited for 1 hour for the next bus. (Their bus schedule will be cut once during off peak)

We also realised the airport is divided into international and domestic (next door, few steps away). The bus ticketing machines are located in the domestic airport and there is another restaurant there. 

We paid 1340 yen for the Limousine bus to Hiroshima station.

It is always more comfortable to take the Limousine bus as we can have our luggages stored in the coach compartment while we travel comfortably in the coach.

Walk up the escalator after arrival, you will be greeted with restaurants and cafe. These shops are located outside the secured (transit) area. 

We realized there are only 1 cafe, 3 souvenir shops in the secured area when we return to Singapore.    

We wanted something light, so chose to have breakfast at the cafe near the check in area at the departure hall. The boiled egg was cold by the way. 

We were not able to have breakfast here as the cafe was short handed. 

So it is always good to bring along some bread and canned coffee to have a light breakfast at Hiroshima airport while waiting for the Hiroshima check in counter to open.

In Hiroshima - We were greeted with greenery, mountains on the way to Hiroshima Station from Hiroshima Airport. Expect to travel into tunnel after tunnel too.

In Osaka and Tokyo - we see houses and houses before reaching town

In Fukuoka - we were greeted with factories once the bus turn out of the Fukuoka Airport

We realised we waited at the wrong bus stop. Our original plan was to go to Hiroshima Bus centre at Sogo, near Hondori area. However, we went to wait at bus stop 2, and this bus will only stop at Hiroshima Station. It was a blessing in disguise. It was then I remembered that I need to exchange my JR west past at Hiroshima JR station. So, we just head to Hiroshima Station instead.
