In conjunction with the G7 Summit, road traffic restrictions were imposed in Hiroshima City in accordance with the movement of world leaders, and tram operations were also affected.
The tram is temporarily in a dumpling state
At around 5 p.m., when traffic restrictions began on the road near Ujinashima Island in Minami-ku, Hiroshima City, where the main venue of the G7 Hiroshima Summit is located, a fence was placed on the tram tracks, making it impossible to pass.
For this reason, when there were many streetcars heading towards Hiroshima Port in this vicinity, five dumplings stopped and we could not move for about 5 minutes.
Also, the train going in the opposite direction was suspended for a while, so the stop was full of people, and some people gave up on boarding.
According to the Hiroshima Electric Railway, operations were suspended for up to one hour near Hiroshima Port, and there were cases where service could not be temporarily operated around the Atomic Bomb Dome.
In addition, the "Hiroshima Bus" was delayed by up to 1 minutes in the morning around Peace Park.
