Gyūdon Hi. This is Hazuki, owner of the hostel. I’ve already written posts on the surprisingly wide variety of cheap restaurants in Japan.

Hi there. This is Hazuki, the owner of the hostel. I went ice skating at the Hiroshin Big Wave! While it’s a 50 m indoor swimming pool in summer, it transforms into an ice skating rink during wintertime. The building is located directly outside Astram Line Ushita Station. A nearby park and playground offer ample […]
Japanese-Chinese restaurants are really good. I decided to try out Sai Sai Rai (再々来). Inside this snug, downtown Hiroshima Chinese restaurant, there is room for five at the counter to the right, and a further three tables to the left. With its all-red facade, this tiny restaurant looks very instagrammable. It almost feels like being […]

Hi there! This is Hazuki, owner of the Evergreen Hostel. I’m shocked. I never knew bagels could be this delightful!

With this uncertainty in mind, I simply began avoiding bagels […]

Even though people often ask why I decided to open a hostel, I used to be paranoid for this question. To tell you the truth: one day, I got the idea to open my own hostel, and that moment just happened to be the right time! When I decided to move from Tokyo to Hiroshima, […]
