There is something for everyone after school.
There is so much to do!
Everyday, when class is finished, it's time for students to play. And because

Living in Hiroshima
With a population around 1 million people,
Hiroshima is a medium sized city internationally recognized as the city of
peace. Situated in the bustling center of the city, Hiroshima YMCA is surrounded
by places of cultural interest (such as Peace Park and the Atomic Bomb Museum)
as well as shopping and entertainment facilities.
With a highly developed public transportation network of buses, trains, streetcars,
and monorails, moving about Hiroshima is convenient and effortless. Miyajima
Island, one of the three most scenic places in Japan, the beautiful Seto Inland
Sea, Hiroshima Castle, many shrines ad temples, as well as architectural feats
such as the Kintaikyo Bridge are just a few of the tourist destinations in and
around Hiroshima.
By Bullet train from Hiroshima Station, Tokyo is a 4 hour ride, and Osaka and
Fukuoka are only an hour and a half away. Hiroshima is also a great starting
point for excursions down to Shikoku or Kyushu Islands. Blessed with a comfortable
climate, Hiroshima has a big city feel, but without the prices and hassle.
Clothing is expensive in Japan, so it is best to bring clothing from home.
You will need to purchase a washer, refrigerator, vacuum, lights, an iron and other necessities when you move into an apartment.
Although living expenses vary, estimate at least \70,000 to 100,000\ per person per month.
Accommodations
Hiroshima YMCA College has a limited number of accommodations for international students. If you would like to rent an apartment, the IBC can introduce you to some realtors.
