All Reviews of ekie

ekie Hiroshima is located inside Hiroshima Station, making it very convenient to reach. You can easily browse around while passing through the station. It brings together many restaurants, dessert shops, souvenir stores, and local Hiroshima specialties, making it convenient to buy all your souvenirs in one place. In addition to local foods such as Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and oysters, you can also find many delicate sweets and distinctive products.

The interior of this large shopping complex is very well laid out and divided into several themed areas. The most irresistible one is **“ekie Omiyage (Souvenir Avenue)”**, which brings together all of Hiroshima's most classic and famous specialty shops. Whether you're looking for maple-leaf-shaped cakes, Setouchi lemon cake, various limited-edition snacks, or a bowl of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki from the legendary restaurant “Reichan” mentioned earlier, you can get it all here in one place without having to run around outside under the blazing sun.

Besides the souvenir area and food court, ekie also has plenty of fun lifestyle goods, clothing brands, and drugstores to browse. Especially for travelers arriving in or departing from Hiroshima by Shinkansen or JR train, this is practically the perfect “last-minute restocking stop.” Even if you shop until the very last minute, you can simply carry all your bags straight into the station and board your train. The convenience is off the charts. I highly recommend putting “ekie Hiroshima” at the beginning or end of your Hiroshima itinerary. Whether you're looking for food or shopping, you can satisfy both needs in one place!

It’s not really a big shopping mall. It’s more focused on food and buying souvenirs.

You can pretty much see everything in about an hour.
