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.
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.
A nicely covered shopping street with many eateries, retail shops, merchandise, grocery, medicine, and clothing stores.
It’s close to the buses and trams.
Very popular and there is normally a lot of people but a million things to do. You name it they got it. Places to eat, arcades, shopping of every sort and more. There is an H&M and a mall (PARCO Mall) and there are luxury stores as well.
Hondori Shopping Street is a lively covered arcade with a great mix of shops, cafes, and casual eateries. It’s fun to wander through — plenty of local and international brands, street snacks, and people-watching opportunities. Convenient location and good for a stroll, though it can get quite busy, especially on weekends.
You'll find a variety of shops, including fashion boutiques, souvenir stores, bookshops, and electronics outlets. There are also numerous dining options ranging from quick bites to sit-down restaurants offering local Hiroshima cuisine such as Okonomiyaki, as well as international fare.
The street is easily reachable by tram and bus. The closest tram stops are Hatchobori and Kamiyacho, which are within walking distance. These lines connect to Hiroshima Station and other key parts of the city.
Credit cards are accepted at many of the larger retail stores, shopping malls, and chain restaurants. However, smaller shops, independent boutiques, and some eateries may only accept cash, so having some Japanese yen on hand is always a good idea.
