Marina Hop is a popular outdoor shopping mall located on Hiroshima's coast. The area has not only lots of different shops and restaurants, but also its own mini amusement park by the sea - its large ferris wheel being its the jewel in the crown. Marina Hop, with its retro, Art Decó look, will make you feel like you have been taken to Miami for a day. The amusement complex can be easily accessed by bus (take the number three) from Hiroshima Station and several other stops in the city center. From Hondori, in downtown Hiroshima, it takes just under 15 minutes to get to the mall.
