コワーキングスペースShakeHands
A drop-in coworking space in Hiroshima's Kamiyacho district, sitting on the third floor of Winnies Kamiyacho building in the city centre. No membership registration required. Show up, pay by the hour, and get to work. The space runs up to 50 seats across individual desks, counter seats, and four-person meeting tables.
Pricing starts at ¥550 for the first hour and scales up to a ¥2,860 daily cap. If you plan to stay all day, the prepaid 1DAY plan at ¥2,200 is cheaper and worth declaring at check-in. Weekends and public holidays add a flat ¥100 surcharge. Seats can be reserved for a small fee (¥330 for solo desks, ¥550 for meeting tables), but walk-ins are welcome without any booking.
Every seat has a power outlet and high-speed Wi-Fi. Reviewers describe the connection as notably stronger than what you get at cafes nearby. Free drinks are included with any session. The drink selection covers coffee, tea, and other standard options. The space operates an open-talk policy, which means phone calls, web meetings, and on-site discussions are all allowed. It is not a quiet library environment. On weekends, single seats fill up fast, sometimes by 9am. Weekday mornings are the most reliable time to walk in and claim a solo desk.
Monthly memberships at ¥22,000/month give unlimited access during all opening hours. Monthly members can also add a registered business address, mail handling, or company registration as optional extras. The space also accepts access through partner services including NewWork, OFFICE PASS, and ii Office.
Light food is available on-site. Beef curry is listed at ¥300. Dietary options including vegan, vegetarian, and non-dairy milk availability are not confirmed in available data. If you have dietary requirements, contact the space directly or check before you visit.

Based on Google reviews and website
The crowd at ShakeHands skews toward local freelancers, remote workers, and students rather than international nomads. Several reviewers mention returning regularly over years, suggesting a stable base of Hiroshima-based regulars. The space deliberately allows talking, calls, and web meetings, so it attracts people who need to get things done without a strict silence culture. School-age students also use it for study, particularly on weekdays.

The space is on the 3rd floor of Winnies Kamiyacho at 1-4-5 Kamiyacho, Naka Ward. A 2-minute walk from Kamiyacho-Higashi Station on the Hiroshima Electric Railway.
Kamiyacho is Hiroshima's central business and shopping district in Naka Ward, easily reached by the city's tram network from Kamiyacho-Higashi or Kamiyacho-Nishi tram stops. The area sits within walking distance of Hondori shopping arcade and the Peace Memorial Park, making it a practical base for nomads who want central access without the chaos of Hiroshima Station. Office towers, department stores, and a handful of independent coworking spaces are clustered here, giving the area a working-city feel rather than a tourist strip.
