co-ba hiroshima

A coworking space in the heart of Hiroshima, on the 7th floor of Anabuki Hiroshima Kamiyacho Building in Motomachi. Part of the national co-ba network, this location has been running since 2018 and is operated by Anabuki Group, a Hiroshima-based real estate and business conglomerate. The space draws freelancers, startup founders, remote workers, and business-minded students who want more than a desk. The community programming is part of the appeal.

Drop-in is available weekdays from 10:00 to 18:00. ¥1,650 for a full day, ¥1,100 for three hours. Closed weekends, public holidays, and year-end. Monthly members get 24-hour, 365-day access. The space is bright and open with large windows and views over central Hiroshima. Reviews consistently describe it as calm and easy to focus in. One visitor called it "just the right amount of quiet." Background music plays at a comfortable volume. If you need to take a video call, the open layout makes that tricky. Reviewers suggest booking a private room or meeting space for calls.

Facilities include Wi-Fi, power outlets, a printer, lockers, a meeting space, a conference room, and a kitchenette. There are no vending machines on the floor, so bring drinks or stock up before heading up. Hand-drip coffee is available at ¥200. Business address registration is available as a monthly add-on. The space also runs the co-ba Startup Support Fund for members looking for seed capital.

The community manager is frequently praised in reviews for being warm, helpful, and genuinely invested in connecting members. Regular events run throughout the year. Morning coffee meetups, industry cross-pollination sessions, yoga, and more. For a passing visitor using drop-in, the space works fine as a focused work environment. For someone staying in Hiroshima longer, the events and member network are worth exploring.

No food is served on-site beyond coffee and occasional shared snacks at events. Dietary options (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free) are not confirmed in any available data. The kitchenette allows you to heat food brought from outside. For meals, Kamiyacho and the surrounding Motomachi area have plenty of options within a short walk.
