Nishi-ku

Nishi-ku extends from mountains in the north to Hiroshima Bay in the south, featuring both residential neighborhoods and commercial districts throughout its territory.

The ward transformed after World War II from an industrial area into a modern district that maintains strong connections to Hiroshima's manufacturing heritage.

Yokogawa and Tenmacho districts contain numerous traditional Japanese restaurants, local markets, and community gathering spaces that reflect regional customs.

The ward offers multiple transportation options including JR train lines, streetcars, local buses, and dedicated bicycle lanes along the Otagawa River.

Two major sporting equipment manufacturers, Mikasa Sports and Molten Corporation, maintain their global headquarters within Nishi-ku's boundaries.
