Stay THE KNOT

[Our Neighbors] ref.

Sep 01, 2026

About a 10-minute walk from THE KNOT HIROSHIMA, “ref.” is a select shop offering clothing, daily goods, and tools from Japan and around the world.

One of the shop’s guiding concepts is to choose items that continue to be made in their country of origin. With this perspective, ref. carefully selects a wide range of products from both Japan and overseas.

One example is the Mason Pearson hairbrush, which continues to be made in England at a time when British-made products have become increasingly rare. Items like these, still crafted in the places where they originated, are selected through ref.’s unique point of view.

Filled with lifestyle items, the shop is a space where creativity and culture come together naturally.
As you explore the streets of Hiroshima, enjoy discovering something special that you can only find at ref.
