Pokémon Center Hiroshima's Relocation

And the Grand Opening of Gyarados Plaza!

Pokémon Center Hiroshima, open since June 2015, will relocate from its current home on the 6th floor of Sogo Hiroshima’s Main Building to the second floor of Ekie, the north exit of Hiroshima Station, around April 2025.

Meanwhile, the highly anticipated "Gyarados Plaza by Pokémon Center Hiroshima" will open on March 24, 2025, on the rooftop of Soramoa Plaza in the new Hiroshima Station building, Minamoa. This unique plaza features large Gyarados-themed play equipment, offering a fun space for visitors of all ages to interact with Pokémon. Initially, reservations will be required to use the playground equipment; details will be available on the official Minamoa website. Pokémon Center Hiroshima's current hours are 10:00 am to 7:30 pm, Monday to Sunday.
