What other travelers are saying about Hiroshima Hondori Shopping Street
I love night markets but a shopping street that’s open during the daytime is way better! So many options to choose from among these streets. And when we got tired and hungry, we simply chose any restaurant to fill our tummies up! So many good buys in this shopping place-from colorful socks to soaps and shampoos, clothing items, shoes and many more! Many sale items around + tax free items for tourists, too.
Best of all, it’s walking distance from our AirBnB.
