A coworking and share office in central Hiroshima's Otemachi district, opened in December 2019 and operated for six years before closing. The space sat on the second floor of Biru Hakujo Otemachi, roughly five minutes on foot from Kamiyacho intersection and a three-minute walk from Hondori Station on the Hiroshima Electric Railway and Astram Line.

The space offered several membership tiers. Coworking open-plan desks started at ¥12,000/month. Booth seats with partitions were ¥17,000/month. Private offices for one to three people started at ¥40,000/month. Monthly members had 24-hour, 365-day access. Drop-in use was available on weekdays during staffed hours, though availability was inconsistent. One reviewer noted drop-in was sometimes unavailable and recommended checking the website before visiting.

A staffed reception operated weekdays from 9:00 to 19:00. High-speed wifi was listed as a facility. Free drinks were included, described in reviews as coffee ground from whole beans, mineral water, and tea. A secondary monitor was available for paid rental. Locker storage, a relaxation room, and a multifunction printer were also on the premises. A meeting room and conference facilities were available on-site.

An optional add-on of ¥5,000/month enabled address registration and corporate incorporation services, making it a practical base for startups. Business support services including incorporation, finance, accounting, and HR consulting were offered on-site.

Reviewer opinions on noise were divided. Most described the atmosphere as calm and suitable for focused work. One reviewer left a one-star review saying the environment was noisy and not suitable for studying, and reported that complaints to management produced no change. Cleanliness issues were also flagged in an early review, with the note that floor stains persisted and cleaning was limited to sweeping. Weekends had no staff present, and one reviewer noted a person monopolizing a row of desks while absent all day.

No food was served on-site beyond the complimentary drinks. Dietary options such as vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free food are not confirmed in any available source data. The free drink offering covered coffee, tea, and water only.
