Minami Ward Rent Prices in Hiroshima 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
With a median price of ¥2600/m², the area has officially entered BOUGIE territory, driven largely by the aggressive redevelopment of the station's south exit. You are paying a heavy premium for the convenience of Ekie shopping and JR access, which makes the investment outlook solid but the daily cost-to-space ratio painful. Unless you work at Mazda HQ or commute to Osaka weekly, you might find better value elsewhere in the city.
The Vibe:Minami Ward is the city's logistics engine, dominated by the constant movement of the Sanyo Shinkansen and the massive Mazda industrial presence. The atmosphere shifts rapidly from the high-density steel and glass towers surrounding Hiroshima Station to the salty, industrial grit of the Ujina port area. It is a territory for people who prioritize being five minutes from a bullet train over having a quiet residential street.
The median rent price in Minami Ward, Hiroshima is ¥2,600 per m² per month, 21% above the Hiroshima city average of ¥2150/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of February 2026.

Locals Ask
Is parking included in the average rent here?
Rarely near the station; expect to pay an additional ¥20,000 to ¥30,000 monthly for a spot.
Why is there such a wide gap in m² stats?
New luxury builds near Danbara hit the ¥3400 mark, while older apartments in the industrial Ujina zone pull the average down to ¥1900.
What is the investment outlook for the station area?
Extremely bullish due to the ongoing JP Tower and Hiroden streetcar line re-routing projects.
Is the noise from the Hiroden streetcar a dealbreaker?
If your unit faces the 5 or 1 lines, the screeching on the curves will be your permanent background noise.
Where is the best neighborhood analysis for quiet living?
Stick to the Hijiyama-honmachi side if you want green space, otherwise, it's mostly concrete and commuters.
