What is the atmos Hiroshima store?

A concept based on the motif of a "station"

The atmos Hiroshima store was designed to resemble a "station," a place where many sneaker fans can gather.

For example, the cash register is modelled after a "kiosk" that sells goods in train stations. Images of things found in waiting rooms and stations are used throughout the store, elevating it to an unprecedented concept store.

Why a station?

Hiroshima is famous for its wealth of tourist attractions, such as Onomichi and Itsukushima Shrine. In fact, in addition to tourist sites, the city also has all land, sea and air terminals, including airports, bullet trains and ports. It is often used as a transportation hub when accessing the Chugoku and Shikoku regions, and is a bustling city with a lot of people coming and going. Inspired by this flow of people, the concept of the atmos Hiroshima store was created as "atmos station."

Floor layout

Gray tone + "atmos blue" kiosk cash register counter

The first thing that catches your eye inside the store is the gray-toned walls and the cash register counter painted in "atmos blue." This is modeled after the "KIOSK" kiosks found in train stations, and is a symbol of atmos station.

The huge sofa placed in the center of the first floor is not just a resting space, but an important piece of interior design that allows customers to experience the "station" theme of the store. This placement is intended to serve as a "meeting space" where customers can naturally interact with each other.

Also, don't forget to think about how sitting down changes your perspective, so that the shelves and wall displays look different from a different angle. For example, lowering your perspective can draw your attention to products you hadn't noticed before, which can lead to new discoveries.

In this way, the ideas of a sneaker shop and a station, which at first glance seem to have different styles, are made into a concept by paying attention to even the smallest details.

2F: A photo spot with beautiful tiles and benches

The second floor features tiled walls and two types of benches that are reminiscent of a station platform. Station benches come in a variety of types, from those built into the wall to those that are freestanding. Aiming to create an atmosphere that everyone has seen at a station, attention to detail has been paid to the same as on the first floor.

The store also has a high affinity with social media, and posts on Instagram and X make the store itself a hub for spreading information. This has created a virtuous cycle that continues to attract more new customers.

Hondori Shopping Street → Okonomiyaki → Peace Memorial Park

The Hondori area, where the atmos Hiroshima store is located, is a main street in the center of Hiroshima city that combines sightseeing and shopping. After visiting the store, we will introduce a model itinerary for visiting the surrounding tourist attractions and gourmet spots.

For example, we recommend checking out sneakers at atmos, enjoying some authentic okonomiyaki at a nearby okonomiyaki restaurant, and then walking to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.
