Where to stay in Ebisucho
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Food first, art second. A bed in Ebisucho sets Okonomi-mura's food counters and the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art on either side of one evening, which is the argument for staying in this pocket of Hiroshima rather than out at the city's edges. Supply runs thin here.
The Fukuya Hatchōbori Main Store marks the retail end of the walk, and rooms taken further out in Hiroshima still leave the three addresses within an easy radius.

About Ebisucho
What are the main landmarks in Ebisucho?
Three addresses are on record. Okonomi-mura covers the eating, the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art covers the art, and the Fukuya Hatchōbori Main Store carries the department-store trade under the Hatchōbori name. Nothing else in Ebisucho is listed.
That short roll is what makes the district legible to a visitor who has only an evening in Hiroshima and wants it spent on food and pictures.
What is the history of Ebisucho?
Ebisucho's written past runs short. No founding year is attached to Ebisucho, and what stands in for a chronicle is the set of institutions the district accumulated: a food hall, a contemporary art museum and a department store with the Hatchōbori name over its door. Three names carry it.
Okonomi-mura, the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art and the Fukuya Hatchōbori Main Store are what the record keeps, and nothing older is attached to the district.
Where is Ebisucho?
Ebisucho is a small district of Hiroshima, its ground marked out by the run between Okonomi-mura and the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art.
