Smoking Booths

Six smoking booths have been installed as designated smoking spots in parks in the Hiroshima city center in order to create a smoke-free environment and prevent cigarette butt littering.

Locations

(1) South of Hiroshima Gate Park Plaza (5 Moto-machi, Naka-ku)	(2) Kyōguchimon Park (3 Hatchobori, Naka-ku)
(3) Fukuro-machi Park (9 Fukuro-machi, Naka-ku)	(4) Kokutaiji Park  (1-7 Kokutaiji-machi, Naka-ku)
(5) North of Hiroshima City Shōyō Tennis Court (2 Moto-machi, Naka-ku)	(6) Green space located south of Peace Memorial Park (4 Nakajima-cho, Naka-ku)

Rules of use

• Be considerate of others around you, and only smoke inside a smoking booth.
• If the booth is crowded, wait your turn or avoid busy times (e.g., 12時00分 to 1時00分 pm on weekdays and during commuting hours).

We kindly ask for everyone's cooperation in following smoking rules and etiquette to make Hiroshima City a comfortable place to live for smokers and non-smokers alike. 

Stricter rules against smoking in areas outside of smoking booths have been in place since October 1, 2021.

When smoking cigarettes in public areas, the smoke and odor produced causes discomfort to many people. For this reason, fines have been issued to those who smoke cigarettes in areas outside of smoking booths since October 1, 2021. Smoking booths where smoking etiquette has not improved may be closed.
