Security Guard Services in Hiroshima
Central Hiroshima’s commercial district runs along the Hondori Shopping Street and extends to Kamiyacho and Hatchobori, where department stores such as Fukuya Hatchobori Main Store and Hiroshima Mitsukoshi sit alongside street-level stores. From Kamiyacho to Hatchobori, office buildings house headquarters and branch offices for the Chugoku region, and redevelopment centered on the station building is also under way around Hiroshima Station.

Security Considerations in Hiroshima
Hondori is a pedestrian-oriented street linked by an arcade, with street-level store entrances opening directly onto it. Because streetcar stops sit close to the arcade entrances, customer flows change greatly by time of day. Boutiques need deployments centered on greeting and watching customers near the entrance, and for department store sales floors the Post Orders should set out procedures for coordinating with the store’s security department and for checking that the premises are locked after closing.
Hiroshima draws many domestic and international travelers visiting Peace Memorial Park and Miyajima, and some situations call for officers able to give directions in English. Around the Peace Memorial Ceremony on August 6 and during the Hiroshima Flower Festival in May, traffic restrictions and crowds coincide in the city center. On professional baseball and soccer game days, the movement of people from the ballpark and stadium areas into the city center also affects deployment planning.

Common Questions
Does Officer Deployment Need to Be Reviewed Around the Peace Memorial Ceremony?
Traffic restrictions are in place in the city center before and after the ceremony and visitor numbers rise, so it is common to check officers’ commuting routes, shift change times and pedestrian flows around the store in advance. McCray reflects operations for the period in the Post Orders and discusses with the client whether deployment changes are needed.
How Is Security Guard Coverage Priced?
Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the requirements of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
