Throwback video when we explored some cafes in the Dobashi and Tokaichi area with Yuki Omote.

These cafes both have a lot of history and a big community involvement in Hiroshima.


Hachidori-sha has events with Hibakusha (people of Hiroshima who survived the atomic bombing) as well as other groups focusing on connecting the community.

Tokaichi Coffee has an extremely long history that dates back to 1946 right after the war ended!
