Mumbai to Hiroshima flights — quick facts

Best connecting hubs for Mumbai to Hiroshima flights

Hiroshima Airport (HIJ) is a regional airport in western Japan (Honshu) and does not receive long-haul international flights. The most convenient connections for Mumbai travellers are via Tokyo Haneda (HND) or Narita (NRT) on Air India (direct BOM–DEL–NRT or BOM–NRT) or Japan Airlines/ANA with a domestic onward hop to HIJ. Alternatively, routing via Seoul Incheon (ICN) on Korean Air or Asiana, then connecting to HIJ, is another well-priced option. The BOM–HIJ leg via Tokyo typically takes 13–15 hours including the domestic connection inside Japan.

Airlines and approximate flight time

Air India operates a BOM–Tokyo (NRT) service that can be combined with an ANA or JAL domestic connector to HIJ (≈ 1h 10m from Tokyo). Japan Airlines and ANA typically involve a Gulf or Southeast Asian transfer when originating from Mumbai. Korean Air and Asiana route through Seoul ICN. Including the domestic Japan sector, total travel time from Mumbai to Hiroshima is typically 13 to 17 hours. The straight-line distance is roughly 6,700 km, while the actual flight path adds more.

Visa requirements for Indian passport holders

Indian citizens require a Japan tourist visa to enter the country — Japan does not currently grant visa-on-arrival to Indian passport holders. As of 2026, Indian nationals can apply for a short-stay visa through the Japanese consulate or embassy in India; the processing time is typically 5–7 working days. A standard single-entry tourist visa allows a stay of up to 15 or 30 days. Many travellers bundle the visa application with their air ticket booking. Check FlightGPT's visa guide for the latest requirements and consulate details.

Hiroshima Airport and getting into the city

Hiroshima Airport (HIJ) is located ≈ 50 km east of Hiroshima city — further from the centre than most Japanese airports relative to their city. A direct airport bus (Airport Limousine) connects HIJ to Hiroshima station in about 55 minutes and runs several times per hour; the fare is typically ≈ ¥1,370 (around ₹750–800 at prevailing exchange rates). Taxis are expensive over this distance. Hiroshima city is also accessible from Osaka Itami (ITM) or Shin-Osaka by Shinkansen (bullet train) in about 90 minutes if your routing comes through the Kansai area.

Best time to book and fly to Hiroshima

Hiroshima (and Japan generally) sees peak tourist inflows during cherry-blossom season (late March to mid-April) and the autumn foliage window (mid-October to mid-November). Booking 2 to 3 months ahead for these periods is advisable. The monsoon and Golden Week (early May) are also busy; mid-June through August can be hot and humid. For both comfortable weather and competitive fares, the February–March period (before cherry blossom peaks) or September–October are often the best value for international travellers from India.

Baggage and long-haul fare tips

Long-haul economy fares to Japan typically include 23–30 kg checked baggage on full-service carriers (Air India, JAL, ANA, Korean Air). Budget the cost of the domestic Japan leg separately if you book it as a separate ticket — domestic Japanese flights have 20 kg allowances. Keep your Japan Rail Pass and Hiroshima tourist card handy if you plan to connect by Shinkansen from another Japanese city, as these can be far more cost-effective than flying domestically across Japan.

What makes Hiroshima worth the journey?

Hiroshima is home to the Peace Memorial Park and Museum — arguably one of the world's most powerful historical sites — and the UNESCO-listed Atomic Bomb Dome (Genbaku Dome). A short ferry ride or direct train reaches Miyajima Island, famous for its 'floating' torii gate, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is also known for its distinct regional cuisine, particularly Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki (savoury pancake layered with noodles and seafood). For Indian travellers, Hiroshima can be combined efficiently with Kyoto, Osaka and Nara on a single Japan itinerary.
