Mako is an amazing person. I really think it was one of my best experiences in Japan so far, I’ve made friends and enjoyed my time there. Thank you 🙏🏼

This is truly a phenomenal place to stay. The owner is extremely kind and runs a small cafe/restaurant in the building, which makes the atmosphere super enjoyable. Facilities were great and the people were even better. Extremely close to Shin-Hakushima station so you can get to Miyajima easily. Would highly recommend this place to anyone.

You never be regret to stay this hostel. The venue is very close to the Hiroshima central area. The Host is amazingly kind and friendly. Amenities(towel, bed sheets) are perfectly served EVERY single day. Having one welcome drink each stay is great to kickstart a small conversation with other guests after 6pm. Also, the host is English speaker, so all travelers will live your stay. Thank you for wonderful stays!

Extremely welcoming hostel near central Hiroshima. The owner was extremely friendly and made us feel at home immediately. The hostel has a bar downstairs where we had a welcome drink and chatted with some of the locals and other travellers. The owner speaks perfect english and was great about giving us tips about where to go in Hiroshima and has some guides handy for things like vegetarian places around Hiroshima. We speak some Japanese too and had great fun talking in the evening with her and a customer of the bar, this is not required at all though as everybody had good english. This was a welcome change from some places which can be quite formal, this felt a lot more like staying with friends and we were very comfortable.

Amazing host, feels more like a homestay than a Hostal. Good, private bunks with curtains and privacy walls. Good location within walking distance of local station and Hiroshima sites. Perfect place to stay in Hiroshima. There is breakfast for a small cost which is very tasty.

Matthew United Kingdom

The host is super friendly and sociable. She invited me to have dinner with her, her daughter, and another guest. She also offers a 'welcome drink' every night. She let me store my suitcase at the hostel before check-in and after check-out for a few hours. In the evenings, she opened the bar/restaurant, which was basically just one table, where hostel guest and bar guests mingled in a very casual setting. The kitchen was really nice and clean, and there was coffee and tea to take for free.
