Saucy Japanese Men written by Kara I’ve come across a couple amusing concepts relating Japanese men to food. Condiments have been used to describe men’s faces, and food or diet to describe their personalities.A Japanese friend of mine posed this question to another friend, “do you prefer sugar, miso, soy sauce or salty face?” Of […]
Written by Kara What’s common sense in Japan certainly isn’t common sense in Australia. It’s interesting to reflect on what comes “natural” to us, and how strange we see someone when “the obvious” doesn’t occur to them. Well, I’ve realised that there is no “obvious”, just what we’ve learned and likely never questioned. To demonstrate […]
Currently we’re raising money for preparing long term war toward the Virus since the situation of tourism is now facing the disaster. We’ve already raised 80%, but we’re trying to make it to double by May 10th. Even a small donation would help us reach my goal. I plan to use the money to keep […]
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 […]

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 […]

My love letter to Japanese Arcade Music Games (By Gabriel) Arcades. 5 storey tall buildings filled with machines built to suck your money. Truly amazing arcades can only be found in Japan. A 100 or 200 yen, maybe even 500 to get maybe a minute or two of entertainment when you try your luck at […]

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, […]
