Hiroshima has an average temperature of 32ºC during the summer. However, it is easy to take shelter from the heat while in the city center; Shareo is the answer. Shareo is an underground mall connecting various strategic points in the city, as well as several tram and bus stations. For instance, you can safely walk from Hondori to the Atomic Bomb Dome without suffering from any sunstrokes. Shareo is located underneath the Kamiyacho intersection and counts with over 70 stores and restaurants, including Starbucks and 7 Eleven. Its central plaza is a good place to rest and eat. Depending on the day you visit, you might encounter some special exhibition or event, too.
