Fukuya Hatchobori Store

The Fukuya department store was the talk of Hiroshima when it first opened in 1938 on Chuo-dori Avenue, in the heart of the city. Unusually modern for its time, the eight-story building attracted crowds eager to see its bold, steel-framed reinforced concrete facade, together with an interior that represented the height of comfort and convenience—its full air conditioning, for instance, was still very uncommon. Before long, however, Japan had entered World War II, and by the war’s final years the once-thriving department store was closed, the building having been commandeered for use by the Japanese military.

Located 710 meters from ground zero of the A-bomb blast, the Fukuya Hatchobori Store was almost completely destroyed by fire on August 6, 1945. The building’s outer shell, however, withstood the blast, and in the days and weeks following the bombing, the once-thriving department store was put into service as an emergency relief station. Fukuya Hatchobori finally reopened for business in 1951, and flourished during the high-growth period of the 1960s and ’70s that saw Japan become an economic powerhouse. Major rebuilding work has been undertaken several times, with the outer walls having been completely replaced in 1972, and Fukuya continues to do business here today.

福屋八丁堀店

1938年，福屋百貨店首次在廣島市中心的中央大街開幕時，備受各界好評。當時這幢新潮的八層建築非常罕見，無論是其大膽的鋼筋混凝土外觀，亦或是追求極致的舒適與便利性的裝潢都讓人為之傾倒。特別是整幢大樓都安裝有空調設備，這在當時是非常少見的。然而，不久之後日本參與了二戰，戰爭即將結束之際，曾經一派繁華的百貨店停止營業，大樓被日本軍方徵用。

福屋八丁堀店位於距離原子彈爆炸中心710公尺處，在1945年8月6日的那場火災中幾乎被夷為平地。然而，建築外表的骨架卻承受住了爆炸衝擊波。在原子彈襲擊後的數天或數周之內，這家昔日欣欣向榮的百貨大樓開始作為緊急救助站。1951年，福屋八丁堀店終於恢復營業，並在日本一躍成為經濟大國的1960-1970年代經濟高速增長時期，重現了繁榮的景象。此後，該店又經歷了幾次大規模的改建，1972年徹底更換了外牆。時至今日，福屋八丁堀店仍在原址持續營業。
