ShakeHands Coworking Hiroshima Ekimae

A drop-in coworking space on the 11th floor of the Fukuya department store, directly connected to Hiroshima Station by underground passage. No membership needed. Walk off the shinkansen, take the elevator up, and you have a desk within minutes. Reviewers consistently flag it as the go-to spot for last-minute work sessions before catching a train.

The floor plan holds 39 seats with spacious desks and power at every position. Free drinks are included with your session. Talking on the phone, holding web conferences, and group meetings are all explicitly permitted under the house rules. This is not a silent study library. It is a working space where real conversations happen, so expect a moderate noise level. One reviewer suggested earplugs if you need full concentration, noting that restaurant noise from outside the floor drifts in.

Drop-in pricing starts at ¥550 for the first hour, then steps up in hourly increments to a daily cap of ¥2,860 (8 hours or more). A pre-paid 1-Day pass costs ¥2,200 and is better value if you plan to stay five hours or more. Weekend and holiday rates add ¥100 per session. No reservation required. These prices are current as of the November 2024 revision.

A monthly membership is available at ¥22,000/month (plus ¥3,300 initial enrollment fee). Members can use the space unlimited times during business hours. Optional add-ons include a registered business address, mail forwarding, and locker rental. The Daytime and Evening membership tiers were discontinued in 2024 and are no longer available to new members.

No food is served on-site. The space is located on the restaurant floor of the department store, so meal options are immediately outside the door. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options within the coworking space itself are not confirmed. The free drink bar is included but specific contents are not listed in available data. Check with staff on your first visit if dietary requirements matter.
