Bargain store shopping is great whenever you want a good deal but are not looking for anything too specific. Hiroshima has you spoiled for choice, with bargain stores selling everything from clothing and accessories to home appliances. For the best quality at the lowest prices, pay these stores a visit.
Big Time Hiroshima
A vintage clothing store with a huge array of products on sale, it’s easy to spend a long time at Big Time Hiroshima. The store is designed for customers to browse on their own, without help from the staff, which gives you the chance to stumble across surprises that match your tastes. In addition to used clothing, the store sells new items (including a wide range of footwear) at great prices.

Treasure Market
Treasure Market is a thrift store that sells much more than just second-hand clothing. It has home appliances, antiques, collectibles, bicycles, audio equipment, and much more. The store buys in bulk, which allows it to sell the products on to its customers at bargain prices. If you’re searching for something in particular, ask a staff member if they have it — most of the staff speak English. This is a useful place to visit if you’ve just moved to Hiroshima and are looking for household items to furnish your new home. If you’re leaving the city, you may be able to sell some of your own items, although they will need to be in excellent condition.
