Hiroshima City Center

Hiroshima’s city center is truly the heart of the city – the perfect base for your stay. It offers a seamless blend of history and modern life, where you can stroll from the Peace Memorial Park to lively shopping streets in just minutes. With easy access to everything you might need, it’s the most convenient and well-balanced area for visitors.

Hiroshima is famous for its okonomiyaki, and some of the best places to try it are right here in the city center. Don’t miss Okonomi-mura, a multi-level building dedicated entirely to this beloved local dish. Be sure to try the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with oysters – a delicious and authentic local specialty.

As the sun sets, the center transforms into a hub of nightlife. The Nagarekawa district nearby is packed with great bars and clubs. Start your evening at Molly Malone’s, a friendly Irish pub popular with both locals and travelers. Many bars offer happy hour deals, so it’s worth coming a little early to enjoy the atmosphere and save a few yen.
