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.

Hondori Shopping Street is a covered shopping street that we visited in Hiroshima. The shopping street is wider than some of the shopping streets we have shopped in before. So it is comfortable to shop there. However, the Hondori Shopping Street doesn't have as many different types of stores. We mainly shop at a few of our favorite shops. Overall, the shopping experience was good, but I hope they have a few more stores there.

A lively shopping street with a great mix of stores and restaurants. It’s easy to spend a couple of hours exploring without even noticing the time go by. Note: Parking in the area is paid only, and rates start at around ¥1,200 for the day.
