Nice Nearby Cafe "Bee Cafe"

When you walk around the Hana Hostel's surrounding area, you can find some nice cafes and restaurants which we can recommend and tell you about. I'd like to show you one of them on this blog. This time I'll introduce the Bee Cafe to you.



The Bee Cafe is on the street from Hiroshima station to new MAZDA baseball stadium. You can easily find it with it's hand painted red exterior and red sign board.



They open from 11am to 11pm, are closed on every Sunday until March. When the baseball game season start, they are closed on every Monday. The daily lunch special is just 650yen, with 150yen you can enjoy tasty after-supper coffee as well.

They have some foreign beers, like Guinness, Heineken, and also some yummy appetizers, so you can enjoy drinking at night.



This is the lunch special, fried pork cutlet with Japanese style sauce. It changes every day. It's so tasty!!



The Bee Cafe is just 1 minutes walk from our hostel. Please feel free to ask our staff for directions to the Bee Cafe!!

A Thousand Paper Cranes from Washington DC

We had a guest who brought 1,000 paper cranes from US!
I was happy as one of the people living in Hiroshima.

Paper cranes on the table,
in the bag,


and more in this suit case!!






She says that her friend helped the first 1oo cranes,
and she finished the rest!

Do you know the story about a thousand paper cranes?

A girl named Sadako, who became a victim from the bomb,
she was diagnosed as a leukemia.
She kept folding a thousand cranes so that she can live longer.
She could only fold 644 before her death, so her friends completed
the 1,000 cranes.
It is said that folding 1,000 paper cranes makes a person's wish come true.

Today, a thousand paper cranes became a symbol of WORLD PEACE.

It's snowing in Hiroshima

Hi there! It is snowing in Hiroshima.
It's freezing cold outside, but it's fun!

I found a nice guest with a nice T-shirts in this morning.
In Japan,most of Japanese people can not spend a day with only T-shirts in winter.

I have heard that western people have higher body temprature than Japanese people .
May be 2 degrees.

I wish I could have the same temperature in winter....
