Actions coming soon

Hiroshima's streetcars are still active in people's daily lives and boast the highest number of users in Japan. People with various dramas ride the streetcars, which run slowly at an average speed of 10 km/h. A grandmother on her way to the hospital after giving birth to her grandson, a student stuck in his job search, and a Carp fan basking in the afterglow of victory. The train reopened three days after the atomic bombing, marking the first step toward reconstruction. This is a story that unfolds over three days on board the tram, which has been in operation for more than 100 years, and has been in the lives of the citizens of Japan.
