We were so glad we stayed at the World Friendship Center, our hosts were very warm and immediatly made us feel relaxed and at ease. They were also very helpful with advice on the peace park, travel around town or any other questions we had. The bedrooms and bathroom are nice, and sitting down to eat breakfast in a small... more

The WFC felt like a home away from home. The co-directors were welcoming and helpful and nothing was ever too much trouble. Breakfast was sumptuous. It is a nice stroll from the Peace Park, and the family-run restaurants they had recommended were fantastic. The place and the people made our experience in Hiroshima even more enjoyable. Big thank you to... more

We stayed here in Oct 08 and were a bit disappointed. I agree with the other reviews that the volunteers were friendly and easy going and gave good advice. It was also interesting to have breakfast with other travellers at the same table to talk with. However we found the place over priced, a bit shoddy and poor a location,... more

We stayed at World Friendship Center for one night in September, 2008. Our room was cool and quiet at the height of Japan's hot, humid, and rainy typhoon season. We arrived at the Center after a night on Miyajima. Kent gave us detailed instructions prior to arrival on how to use public transportation, but we took a taxi from the... more

The rooms are quite basic with shared bathrooms but clean and comfortable. The western breakfasts come as a relief after travelling in Japan. The fact that free tours and meetings with... more

This quiet Japanese style house, just a fifteen minute walk from the Peace Park, is meticulously clean and comfortable. The rooms are spacious and the breakfast of muesli, toast, fresh fruit and yoghurt is filling and tasty - all this in addition to the directors' helpful advice and gracious hospitality. A great place to stay! more

Our travels took us to Hiroshima, Japan in the early July of 2008... We wanted to stay at WFC which we've booked prior to our departure from Canada. Upon our late arrival to Hiroshima, Kent and Sarah were waiting for us. We were exhausted from climbing Mount Fuji the same day and Kent ensured we get a good rest. It... more
