Hiroshima Kinzagai Shopping Street (金座街商店街)

Downtown Hiroshima’s Kinzagai shopping arcade runs perpendicular to Hondori, the main commercial artery of Hatchobori. If heading in the direction of the city center by streetcar, visitors will mostly likely walk through Kinzagai before reaching Hondori and be drawn in my its numerous appealing restaurants, cafés, or shops. Even if you’ve got nothing you wish to buy, this street, like Hondori, is an excellent place for people watching.

Moment of Joy

At night, even when all the shops are closed, Kinzagai teems with life. Shoppers leaving the closed stores tend to hang out here, and the occasional street performer serenades passersby with his or her rising star musical talents. Make a donation to a local musician here, and you just might be responsible for the debut of Japan’s next celebrity!
