Nearest Station
Hieda Hachiman Shrine stands about 800 m north of Kurashiki City Junior College (per the shrine registry access note); that note names no station, so the nearest station could not be established from it.

Local Transit
The Okayama Jinjacho registry gives only '800 m north of Kurashiki City Junior College' under transport access and names no station or bus line, so the nearest railway station cannot be identified from the sources.
Parking
The shrine car park holds 3 cars (the registry entry lists '有 3台'). No parking figure is published for the Hieda Ground fireworks site itself.
