Hondori is Hiroshima's covered arcade, 577 metres of shops running east from Peace Memorial Park to the Okonomimura building at the far end of the street.
TipAndersen's bakery market sits mid-arcade and Okonomimura at the far end, which makes Hondori an easy eating walk.
Hiroshima Gate Park turned the old stadium site into a lawn ringed by the SHIMINT dining strip, from bakery and coffee rooms to burgers and ramen.
TipIt sits between the Atomic Bomb Dome and the Hondori arcades, so it works as the lunch stop on a Peace Park morning; terrace seats go fast on fine weekends.
Okonomimura is Hiroshima's okonomiyaki building, more than twenty griddle counters across three floors of Shintenchi Plaza at the east end of Hondori.
TipThe building marked sixty years of trading in 2025; the current seven-storey block replaced the original in 1992.
