What other travelers are saying about Hiroshima Hondori Shopping Street

I think this shopping street is quite decent. BEAMS, jump shop, ABC mart grand stage, and tones of drug stores. Ends with a PARCO. I’m quite surprised.

Just a short walk away from the Peace Museum, I discovered a bustling shopping district. This vibrant area is teeming with an array of shops offering a wide selection of items, ranging from shoes and bags to clothing and daily necessities. It's a shopper's paradise, catering to diverse tastes and needs. Aside from shopping, the district also provides various entertainment options. You can indulge in some old-fashioned fun at the arcade or belt out your favorite tunes at a karaoke establishment. These additional attractions add an extra layer of enjoyment to your visit, ensuring there's something for everyone. During my visit on a Monday evening for dinner, I was pleased to find that the district was not overly crowded. This created a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, allowing me to explore the shops and enjoy my meal without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Whether you're looking for a shopping spree or a lively evening out, this shopping district has it all. Its proximity to the Peace Museum makes it a convenient stop for visitors, providing a delightful blend of retail therapy and entertainment options.

Great place to wander if you are trying to escape the rain. Many of the shops etc. don’t come to life until lunch time.
