When it opened in 2004, Aeon Mall Hiroshimafuchu Soleil, had the much snappier name of Diamond City Soleil, which is the name it is still popularly called.
It was built on the site of the former brewery of Kirin beer, and the original smokestack/chimney has been incorporated into the mall after having been suitably decorated.
The chimney artwork is about the only thing to distinguish the "Mega Shopping Mall" from the hundreds if not thousands of others all over the globe housing products of global brands.
I have to admit that I find no attraction in such places and can only feel like a visitor from another world....

It looks like a kindergarten.
