Funakoshicho Rent Prices in Hiroshima 2026
Our Verdict
"Smart Money"
With a median price of ¥1400/m², Funakoshicho earns our SMART_MONEY tag because you get significantly more floor space than you would three stops closer to the city center. Our neighborhood analysis suggests this area is a hedge against rising central rents, offering a stable investment outlook for those who value transit efficiency over lifestyle perks. It is a no-nonsense trade-off: you sacrifice the 'cool factor' for a manageable monthly bill and a 10-minute train ride to Hiroshima Station.
The Vibe:This is a functional, industrial-adjacent pocket of Aki-ku defined by its proximity to the massive Mazda facilities and the Sanyo Main Line tracks. It is flat, grey, and built for utility rather than aesthetics, catering mostly to the local workforce and those who need quick access to JR Kaitaichi Station. You won't find trendy cafes here, just straightforward residential blocks and the constant hum of the logistics corridor.
The median rent price in Funakoshicho, Hiroshima is ¥1,400 per m² per month, 35% below the Hiroshima city average of ¥2150/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of February 2026.

Locals Ask
Does the train noise affect the Average Rent?
Properties directly abutting the Sanyo Main Line tracks often sit at the lower ¥1100/m² end of the spectrum due to freight vibration.
What is the typical parking cost in Funakoshicho?
Expect to pay between ¥7,000 and ¥10,000 monthly, which is a steal compared to Naka-ku prices.
Is the m² stats range skewed by new builds?
Yes, the upper ¥1800/m² limit is driven by a handful of modern reinforced concrete apartments near the Kaitaichi border.
How is the walkability for daily errands?
It's a bit of a haul; unless you live near the MaxValu, you’ll likely want a bicycle or a 50cc scooter for grocery runs.
What's the long-term investment outlook for renters here?
Rents are remarkably stable; don't expect sudden spikes or gentrification-driven price hikes in this industrial heartland.
