AEON MALL Hiroshima-Fuchu, Shopping center in Hiroshima, Japan
AEON MALL Hiroshima-Fuchu is a large shopping center in Hiroshima with more than 280 stores, restaurants, cafes, and a multiplex cinema featuring an IMAX screen. It spans over 110,000 square meters (1.2 million sq ft), offering ample space for shopping and entertainment.
The center opened in 2004 on the grounds of the former Kirin Beer Hiroshima Factory and preserves this industrial past through design elements. A restored steam locomotive and an information desk designed as a large brewery still serve as reminders of the site's former purpose.
The Gacha-gacha no mori with hundreds of capsule toy machines and Dagashiya Charinko with traditional Japanese snacks create a playful space for collectors and those seeking nostalgia. The vintage vending machines on display tell stories of past shopping experiences and invite browsing.
The complex is easily accessible by car with plenty of parking available, making shopping convenient. Visitors should allow plenty of time to explore the many stores and restaurants, especially on weekends when it tends to be busier.
A preserved steam locomotive sits on the grounds as a full-scale reminder of the site's industrial heritage. This relic from the brewery era intrigues visitors interested in local industrial history.
