Ebisu Street Shopping Street

Ebisu-dori Shopping Street has a history of over 410 years. It originated in 1603 as a market that was opened on the occasion of the enshrinement of Ebisu Shrine, known as the god of merchants. This market, considered to be the pioneer of shopping streets in Hiroshima, has continued to develop over the years and has become the current Ebisu-dori Shopping Street. Even today, all members of the shopping street are parishioners of Ebisu Shrine, and the street continues to thrive with the shrine at its center. In particular, our shopping street is rare in Japan in that it is centered around the department stores Fukuya and Mitsukoshi. As a town that is both old and new, we are proactively taking on new ventures while preserving the good old traditions.
