After the Peace Museum, we walked along the Peace Boulevard which had even more sculptures and monuments. We then turned towards Hatchobori, Hiroshima’s main shopping district. We went into a shopping centre called Parco which had a Rilakkuma pop up store and display as well as a Tower Records on the top floor. I bought 宇多田ヒカル’s latest album Fantome there as well as the 20th anniversary remix of her first album.
We then went to Mitchan to sample their okonomiyaki but we arrrived just a little too late – there was already a queue and we had to wait nearly an hour before we could get in.
The Hiroshima variant of the okonomiyaki is layered together with noodles so it’s basically a carb fest. I enjoyed mine but it’s not exactly the healthiest meal option.
