Located in the western part of Honshu island in Japan, over the past few years, Hiroshima has seen a rise in popularity among tourists and other types of visitors.
The city that survived the atomic bomb attack almost 80 years ago is now recovering its shine.

There are a number of private driver services in Hiroshima at your disposal. Some of the most popular companies are Hiroshima Chauffeur Service, Hiroshima Limousine Service, and Hiroshima Car Rental with a driver. You can choose among a range of luxurious cars, buses, or vans, and you will get an experienced driver, and sometimes even a guided tour if the driver speaks English.
Finally, if you want to avoid land traffic hustle and bustle, you can book a helicopter and take a look at Hiroshima from a different point of view. You can do this via Helicopter Charter, AIROS Skyview, or Private Sky Tokyo.
In the Hiroshima prefecture, there’s another airport, the Kintaikyo Airport, located in the city of Iwakuni, some 60 kilometres away. However, this airport is quite small and usually used for domestic flights.

Which Jets Can You Fly to Hiroshima?
With the exception of the last two routes, all types of jets are at your disposal to fly to Hiroshima.
Usually, turboprops are the most affordable jets and are very convenient for short-haul flights. However, they usually can’t accommodate larger parties and are considered the slowest type of jet. Therefore, if you’re travelling with a larger party, or crossing a longer distance, it’s recommended to pick among the midsize and heavy jets. These are usually also more comfortable and possess more amenities, which is quite convenient if you’re spending several hours on the flight.
Turboprops
Turboprops got their names thanks to their turbine-powered engines. They are usually the cheapest option when it comes to booking private charters. Their range is 2,400 kilometres, on average, but this number varies depending on the model. With a cruising speed of 350 knots, they are the slowest type of jet.
Light Jets
Light jets have a somewhat longer range than turboprops, around 2,800 kilometres. However, just like with turboprops, the exact number varies depending on the model.
With an average cruising speed of 400 knots, light jets are a bit faster than turboprops.
Midsize and Super-Midsize Jets
If you want to go further than 4,000 kilometres, then you should consider midsize and super-midsize jets, as this is their average range. They are also faster than the previous types of jets, as their average cruising speed is 450 knots.
These jets are also convenient if you want to host larger parties, as they can accommodate a maximum number of 8 or 16 passengers. You can also expect convenient amenities, such as pet access, wi-fi, and luxurious catering.
Heavy Jets
They do cost the most, but with an average speed of 500 knots or more, they are also the fastest jets, and their range is over 10,000 kilometres, making them a great option for direct cross-continental flights.
Conclusion
Hiroshima is a great destination to visit, and definitely one of the most popular in Japan. If you want to get there with style and comfort, we suggest you book a private flight. This will allow you to schedule your time however you desire, instead of making your plans around your flight.
Also, long lines and flight delays are a thing of the past with private flights. If you want to experience premium travelling, this is the way to go. Make your trip simple, easy, and unforgettable.
