About

Hiroshima Hostel EN is a hostel with a bar / izakaya at ground level. It was created with the intention to connect people, be they travelers or locals looking for a drink and a good time.


THE HOSTEL

The hostel is located on the second floor of EN and offers beds in a traditional Japanese style, offering foreign visitors a part of Japanese culture and Japanese guests a reminiscent feeling.

We offer a mixed dormitory, female-only dormitory and a private room that fits up to 3 guests.
Every bed in the dormitories has its own private space and is closed off by a traditional noren. Created in Hiroshima, the tatami flooring is both sturdy and comfortable at the same time. On top is a futon to experience the true way of Japanese sleeping. It is said that this type is especially good for your posture and back.
A personal safety box is also found inside and is equipped with a lock.

The private room is made in a traditional Japanese style. Tatami flooring and futons to sleep on. The private room is ideal for families traveling together or guests looking for some more privacy.

The common space has tatami flooring section where guests can relax and hang out. Try some origami, read a book or have a chat with some of your fellow travelers.
There is a refrigerator to store your food or drinks.

Facilities consist of 2 restrooms, 2 showers, 4 sinks, hairdryers and rental towels, toothbrushes, etc.


THE BAR / IZAKAYA

The bar / izakaya is open in the evening from Thursdays till Monday* and serves local drinks and food from the Hiroshima area. Try some smoked venison, wild board frankfurter and many more special dishes.
We also have a good selection of local and nationwide sakes and rotate our selection based on the season and newly found gems. Other special drinks include wine from Miyoshi and craft beer from Kure.
Guests can just sit back and relax or start a conversation with the staff or some other patrons at the bar. Whenever it’s possible we like to eat together with our guests and make some special Hiroshima meals like Oyster Hotpot.

* The bar is still open for guests staying at the hostel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. (Drinks only)

A really nice, small but chill hostel with a nice vibe, with a good location for seeing Hiroshima. The staff are great, the hostel is clean and the beds are comfortable

Quite a cramped hostel with not a lot of space and a very intimate bar/common area. The saving grace was the very friendly staff, and the other travellers I met there. If not for them, I’d not have had a great time. It’s also a place where Japanese locals will come in the evening - if you speak Japanese well, then it’ll be very sociable for you!

The place gave me only good vibes and the people have been very kind to me. The hostel looked to me as true Japanese style and I appreciated every side of it. Slept well and comfortable. Totally recommended
