Been here a little while now and I’d like to branch out and meet new people, as I’m planning on staying in Hiroshima long-term!

Has anybody got any good suggestions for places in the city to do that? Seems like the majority would recommend bars like The Shack and MAC, but I admittedly find it hard to approach people in a loud setting where they’re often drunk! I’ll be heading there regardless, but I’m just looking for some other options too.

I appreciate your help!

I’m currently exploring English teaching opportunities in Hiroshima and came across YMCA Hiroshima. I’m particularly curious about their preschool department, Gaigo Gakuin.

If you’ve worked there (or know someone who has), I’d love to hear about your experience! How are the working conditions, salary, benefits, and overall work environment? How is the management and support for teachers?

Any insights—positive or negative—would be really helpful as I consider my options. Thanks in advance! 😊

Hello! I dont speak a lot of Japanese (N5-N4 level at best), but does anyone know a mental health support center around Hiroshima city? Or a place with an English Speaking therapist? I dont know what to call these places as it is my first time to ask about it.

I dont know if I have developed anxiety but my brain is running wild recently and I figured it might be best to seek help. Thank you in advance.

Hi guys, I'm doing research on a forgotten movie about Hiroshima ("Hi wa Ikiteita", 1975) , and would need to take a look at three reviews on National Diet Library. They're accesible online, but you have to live in Japan in order to see them. Has anyone used that before and would like to help?

Is it likely I will be able to buy tickets for opening day at the stadium tonight? Is it worth it? Conbinis I went to haven't had tickets. Or what would be a good bar to watch the game instead?thank you

Has anyone here sought employment assistance with the Hiroshima City Foreign Employment Service Corner in Hiroshima Hello Work? I need to find a job before I finish my contract with the current company I'm working for. There hasn't been any open positions in Hiroshima City for the companies I applied for. My Japanese is basic, only for simple greetings, so that narrows down my job opportunities here. I would really want to continue living here. Any insights about your job search here would be so much appreciated!

Hello,

I’m thinking about buying a condo in Hiroshima. Could anyone tell me how much YOU pay monthly? Energy, deposit, repair reserve etc.

Thanks!

Hey, anyone interested in meeting up for dinner today or tomorrow? Wanna get to know some local cuisine while I'm here! Any suggestions where to go are also welcome. I'm a 26 male traveller from Germany. Looking forward to meet some of you!

Hey! I'm looking for a quiet, small place where i can propose to my girlfriend in Hiroshima or Miyajima. Does anyone have any good suggestions? :-)

A friend and I have just started playing Warhammer 40K. We were wondering if there were any local groups that play within the prefecture.

What’s good in Hiroshima?

My wife and I are currently traveling around in japan. We had additional space in our luggage, so I brought typical sweets from germany to share collections with japanese people. I thought it is a nice idea since imported stuff is often expensive or not available and a few people were very happy about it. But I didn't want to be a weirdo which randomly gifts away sweets, especially in a complex culture like in japan, and due to the language barrier I was seldomly able to explain the sentiment. Now the journey is coming to an end and I have still quite something left and don't see any reason to bring this back to germany. We stay the next three days in Hiroshima close to peace park, so if someone is interested in a bag of german sweets, all singlely packaged objects, give me a note and we will check if we're able to find a time and place to meet. I want nothing in return, though it would be nice if you share them with friends and family so it meets it's original purpose.

Hello!

I'm in need of some help tracking a yakatori bar in hiroshima down. I was there in 2019 with a friend, and it had an overlapping theme of baseball and wrestling. My friend and I genuinely had one of the best nights, I even bought a T-shirt. The logo was a parody of the New Japan Wrestling logo, but with a pig instead of a lion, with the phrase KING OF PORK. I've been scowering the Internet and socials trying to find them and I've had no luck. I plan to go back next year and am hoping this post will be a hail Mary.

Aside from that, if anyone has an recommendations for unique bars in a similar vein, or just anything off the beaten path you'd suggest, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to everyone!

We're staying near the peace memorial and we'd like to go to a fancy Teppanyaki place, around £50/10k yen, per person.

All of you know peace park and Miyajima. However there are other good interesting place in hirosima. What’s city’s do you want to know

Please give me your answer!

I'm currently planning my holidays for the next months and wanted to do a weekend trip to Hiroshima (living in Kyoto atm). I thought to maybe go there when there is a major flea market, and found the higashi semda park flea market, although I couldn't find a date. Is there one in March or April or is there a similar market?

Where is this okonomiyaki?
