Hondori Hills

Hondori Hills, Commercial building in Naka-ku, Hiroshima, Japan

Hondori Hills is a tenant building of one basement and seven above-ground floors in Hondori, Naka-ku, Hiroshima. It was built jointly by the stationery shop Tayama Bungu and the ceramics shop Watanabe Toen, which had long operated stores on this site. A stone monument to former Hiroshima Toyo Carp pitcher Hiroki Kuroda stands in front of the building on the Hondori shopping arcade side.

Hondori Hills was built jointly by the stationery firm Tayama Bungu and the ceramics shop Watanabe Tōen, both already trading on this site. Construction began in June 2006 and the building was completed on 17 August 2007, opening on 24 August, with some tenants following in September.

The building is named after the Hondori shopping street it faces, and its ground floor houses the KDDI-operated au Style Hiroshima phone shop with the BLUE LEAF CAFÉ beside it. On the third floor, the two firms that commissioned the building, stationer Tayama Bungu and ceramics dealer Watanabe Tōen, keep their own shops.

The building is accessible via Hiroden streetcar at Hondori Station or the Astram Line, both connecting to major transportation networks in the city. The covered arcade protects visitors from the weather, making shopping comfortable regardless of conditions.

A stone monument in front of the building, on the Hondori shopping arcade side, was erected to mark the retirement of former Hiroshima Toyo Carp pitcher Hiroki Kuroda. The building itself was a joint project of the stationery shop Tayama Bungu and the ceramics dealer Watanabe Toen, both already trading on this site before construction began in June 2006.
