Why we send people here

Six hundred meters of covered city life — department stores to okonomiyaki alleys. The useful buffer plan: it absorbs whatever time your museum visit leaves.

Before you count on it
  • No single published ride covers this one. Budget for a taxi both ways, or fold it into a guided day.
The story

Why Hondori arcades is famous

Hondori is a covered kilometre of shops running from the Peace Park into the centre, rebuilt on the street plan that existed before 1945. It is the ordinary city, immediately beside the memorial one, and the contrast is the reason to walk it rather than any single shop.

Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
