Hazuki is the most caring owner ever. She's kind, funny and always does her best to improve and create a cozy and friendly environment for everyone. I truly, truly felt at home.. It was hard to leave! Work is easy to get used to and gives you the chance to interact with the guests. Also, Hiroshima and it's sourrandings won't disappoint:)

My stay at this hostel was great! The host, Hazuki, was incredibly kind, helpful, and open-minded. The central location made exploring Hiroshima fun, especially since the staff can make use of bicycles. The other staff, equally warm and friendly, made the experience even more enjoyable for me! The work was straightforward and gave me the opportunity to meet many amazing travellers. I highly recommend staying in Hazuki's hostel for a memorable stay! Three weeks flew by in a blink!
