Hiroshima Station

Hiroshima is a very busy place. Here 4 streetcar lines terminate, routes 1,2,5 & 6. Route 2 trams serve the longest route going down the interurban line to Miyajima-guchi after leaving the city at Nishi-Hiroshima. 

The terminal itself has 3 stub tracks to turn the trams. It is literally in front of the main entrance to the JR Hiroshima station.
