Ekinishi (駅西) 駅西

West of the station's south exit: low wooden signs and the smell of charcoal.

Ekinishi (‘west of the station’) is the name used for the district of bars and izakaya that occupies Ōsuka-chō, in Minami Ward, just west of the south exit of Hiroshima Station. The city's tourist board describes it as an area of small venues that grew up next to the station, now frequented both by long-time regulars and by people discovering it as a fashionable area.
