About Hiroshima

Hiroshima's animal cafe scene is anchored by one standout destination that has become a must-visit in western Japan. Owl de Base, located in central Hiroshima next to the Parco department store and within walking distance of the Atomic Bomb Dome, bills itself as the largest animal cafe in western Japan. For 1,650 yen per hour including drinks, visitors can meet roughly 30 owls, hawks, and falcons alongside hedgehogs and meerkats. Each bird has a name card with its birthday and personality notes, and at the end of your session you can hold your favorite owl with a protective glove. The central Hondori shopping arcade and the streets branching off toward the Peace Memorial Park host additional cat cafes that cater to both locals and the steady stream of international visitors drawn to Hiroshima's historical sites. The city's flat terrain and excellent streetcar network make cafe-hopping straightforward. Hiroshima is also the jumping-off point for Miyajima Island with its famous free-roaming deer, offering a natural complement to the indoor cafe experience. Cafes here tend to be welcoming to foreign visitors, with more English support than you might expect for a city of this size.
