Higashi Hiroshima City
This is a relatively new and upcoming area which has seen a large increase in rental demand in recent years. For example, in the western neighborhood there are many banks and financial institutions as well as life insurance companies which have helped increase the city’s population. However, many of the large shopping centers and electronic stores have moved to the suburbs of the city, which has led to the central part of the city gaining a reputation as a sort of red-light district. That being said, the southern part of the city is full of family restaurants and acts as a residential area for families.
On the other hand, an area to take note of from now on is the Jike District. This area was previously very quiet compared to other parts of the city, but recently there has been an increase in karaoke shops and restaurants which has provided a much livelier atmosphere. Also, in 2017 the Sanyo Line is expected to extend all the way to Jike Station providing much easier access and an expected rise in the area’s business.
