[2025 Hiroshima Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for THE OUTLETS HIROSHIMA (Updated Jul)

#summervacay We packed coffee and pastries at Delifrance , the outlets Hiroshima and were truly impressed by the *siphon brewing* method ! This unique method uses vapor pressure and vacuum to extract flavors from coffee grounds. We waited a bit for the brewing process, but it was amazing to experience the process. Haha, this was our first time discovering the charm of siphon coffee. The coffee taste was *fantastic* , rich, smooth, and with a vibrant clarity that highlighted the coffee's flavors ☕️. The aroma was captivating too! We even went back to buy another cup. And as expected from Japan standards, the pastry quality was always good 😋. I highly recommended giving it a try if you visit Delifrance at the outlets Hiroshima. #japantravel #coffeelover #siphonbrew #hiroshimacafes #Theoutletshiroshima #Hiroshimadelifrance #Delifrancejapan

#summervacay My sisters were on the hunt for Blue Label bags, which she said are only available in Japan, so we planned a trip to the Outlets Hiroshima. We took the JR Sanyo line to Nishi-Hiroshima station and then a local bus to the outlet, which took about 40 minutes. Alternatively, you can take a shuttle bus from Hiroshima station, subject to the bus schedule. The outlet is massive, and you'd need a whole day to explore all the shops. We opted for a half-day trip, focusing on the specific stores we wanted to visit. We grabbed coffee at Delifrance Cafe, and enjoyed fantastic udon noodles and local snacks at the food stores. If you're a shopping enthusiast, add the Outlets Hiroshima to your itinerary! 👍" #Hiroshimapremiumoutlet #japantravel #Hiroshima shopping
