Hiroshima Local Products Plaza is a great place to discover products from Hiroshima and the surrounding nearby areas.
Here you can find local honey sourced from the Miyajima and other local bee farms as well as local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, cooking ingredients, jams, snacks, spreads and more.
This Shopping Plaza has a very local vibe, but there is an information center at the back with a variety of travel guides, maps and information for international travelers as well.
Free samples of different seasonal items are at the front of the shop to entice people to come in and shop.
Have a look for the special seasonal items such as the ornate dolls on display for Girls day (in March) on display from the end of January.
There is very little English in terms of labeling, but the staff are eager to help and the atmosphere is very welcoming.
Unfortunately most products are in plastic packaging and single-use plastic bags are in use, but they are happy for you to use your own bag if you have one. There are also many products in glass or metal containers which can more easily be recycled or reused in Japan.
