The hotel gives out an okonomiyaki voucher so use it for lunch
On the map is a shop that sells all kinds of stuff it's open until around 9:30pm so you should go there at night. Its where I bought the ceramic knife
It's called Tokyu Hands Hiroshima's Creative Life Store
16-10 Hacchobori Hiroshima, 730-0013 Neighborhood: Naka-ku
You could stop in on your way to Dinner below.
I will leave these here but I just realised they are only open in summer and september is autumn. The hotel gives an okonomiyaki meal voucher anyway so you will have 2 of those to use if these places are closed.
Fukuya Beer Garden, 9-1 Matsubara-cho (11th floor), ☎ 082-568-3111. Open 6-10PM, varies by season. Many of the department stores have beer gardens on their roofs, and this is a nice one, directly across from JR Hiroshima Station — just you and a few hundred of your closest friends under the stars, sharing a terrific city view. Regardless of the crowds, though, there's plenty of room and the lines are well-managed. Admission varies from ¥1000 to ¥2500 by day of the week and season, which includes all you can drink, some desserts, and
a ton of Western and Japanese fried food.
There is another one that is supposed to be good Mitsukoshi beer garden it's 2500yen for women and 2800 for men it's open from 530pm till 11pm. You can eat and drink what ever you want in that time. It's close to the Tokyu Hands store on the other side of the road. Although it may close on sept ember 3rd. Ask at the hotel get them to reserve one for you.
