Located about 10 minutes by car coming from the city center, this is Jusco Department store's smaller development to open in Hiroshima (2004).

Although there are only two floors, there is a lot available in this AEON and JUSCO combination shopping center.

If you are after excellent pricing and a very wide variety of retailers to choose from, this "plaza" is where you want to be. From Jusco itself, I often go the extra distance for excellent food prices - lots of sale items. Outside of food I have purchased 2 bikes, a Braun shaver, a Nano steam machine for the wife, etc. etc.from their department store. Listen folks, before I buy anything I get prices from everywhere than go to this Jusco last. They have not been beaten in prices yet. And, there are few if any Hiroshima born Oba-chan that can out shop this boy. NOTE: There are 2 Jusco stores in Ujina - one is quite old and very small in comparison closer to Midori Machi.

We love this Jusco department store! As noted, it has a lot of different things in the mall like a Starbucks, a good bookstore, a 100 yen shop, and other fast food and sit down restaurants. There is also a kids play area and also a little merry go round for the kids (although they tend to close at 6pm). We really have found that we prefer this to Diamond City. The Diamond City mall has a lot of different shops, but if you are just looking to go to a mall and get a few things and don't need all of the variety, it is very low-key, much less busy, and has easy access.
