The Sanrio SOGO Hiroshima Store is the only store in central Hiroshima that specializes in Sanrio goods. The store sells official goods of various Sanrio characters, including standard Sanrio characters such as Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Cinnamoroll, but of course goods of the more obscure characters such as Hankyodon and Kerokero Keroppi are also sold. Occasionally events are held within the store, and if you are lucky, you may even be able to meet popular characters such as Hello Kitty and Pompompurin.
