Record stores in Hiroshima

Hiroshima, Chugoku has 4 record stores on the map. That's 4 record shops mapped around Hiroshima. Every shop grades and prices differently, so the same record can be a bargain in one and a splurge in another — dig everywhere. Bring a want-list, but leave room for the find you didn't know you needed.

This guide covers every record store we could verify in and around Hiroshima (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include エディオン and GROOVIN', plus GROOVIN'. If a record shop's missing from Hiroshima's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Record digging tips for Hiroshima

A few things worth knowing before you work through Hiroshima's record stores:

• Learn the grading at エディオン. Mint, near mint, very good — and check whether the grade is visual or play-graded. A visual VG+ can play like an EX.
• Bring cash for the small shops at GROOVIN'. Some independents prefer it, and a cash offer on a stack can occasionally move the price.
• Check the turntable section. Many record shops sell used decks and cartridges. A serviced vintage turntable beats a cheap new one.
• Check the bargain wall rhythm. Shops restock the cheap sections on cycles. Ask when — that's when the fresh bargains land.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Hiroshima — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Hiroshima can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 4, or a record store we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 4 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
