A local writer's notebook.
Hi — I'm Yoshi, and I've been wandering Hiroshima for nearly a decade. I started this site because most English-language coverage of the city stops at the Peace Park and maybe an okonomiyaki recommendation, and the place I actually live in is so much bigger than that.
By day I work in hospitality at MORETHAN Hiroshima. So when I write about where to eat, where to stay, or how to spend a slow afternoon in the city, it's coming from someone who hosts visitors here for a living.
What you'll find here are stories from someone who eats here, drinks here, and walks home through these streets every night. Nothing is sponsored, automatically translated, or copied from a guidebook.
What I write about
- Food and Dining. Counters and stalls I keep going back to.
- History and Memory. The Peace Park and the city's quieter histories.
- Tips and Practical. What to skip, how to actually move around.
- Outdoors and Activities. Day trips and the pace of a smaller city.
