Prices in Hiroshima
Hiroshima is among the gentler Japanese cities on a traveller's wallet, with hearty okonomiyaki counters and a single flat streetcar fare doing much of the heavy lifting. The main extras are evening meals at proper restaurants and taxis, which start higher here than in Tokyo or Kyoto. Most visitors find the city noticeably cheaper than the Kansai and Kanto hubs.
The country average is ¥ 513 for coffee, ¥ 1,250 for lunch, ¥ 626 for beer, and ¥ 5,375 for dinner.
Hiroshima is the cheapest city.
