Nagarekawa & Kamiyacho

If you’re looking for Hiroshima’s vibrant nightlife, Nagarekawa is the place to be. Just a short walk from the Peace Memorial Park, this lively district truly comes alive after dark. You can spend countless evenings hopping between izakaya pubs and stylish bars, soaking in the unique local atmosphere. A great place to start your night is Kulcha, a cozy bar known for its excellent selection of local craft beer.

Nagarekawa isn’t just for nightlife lovers – it’s also a paradise for food enthusiasts. Here you’ll find everything from casual ramen joints to elegant sushi restaurants. Don’t miss the famous Okonomi-mura, a multi-story building dedicated entirely to Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki – a must-try dish and a culinary experience you won’t forget.
