Hikoboshi

Nestled in an old, traditional house, Hikoboshi stands out as a charming café located on Yagami Kuwabaracho in Hashima. The café offers a selection of breakfast, lunch, brunch, and drinks, and it's noted for its cozy, almost private rooms, making it an intriguing spot for those seeking a quiet setting. It's also family-friendly and welcomes children, making it a good choice for family outings. With free off-street parking and takeout options, convenience is a priority here.

Hikoboshi is distinctively popular with visitors who appreciate generous portions, especially of sweet treats. Known for serving a unique thick-cut toast with red bean paste, the café has caught the attention of dessert enthusiasts. The ambiance reminiscent of a classic Japanese coffee shop seems to cater well to individuals and families alike. However, be mindful that the last recorded visitor review was four years ago, and current conditions may vary as there is no recent information from the owners.

Operating from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on select days, Hikoboshi is perfect for early risers and those wanting a leisurely mid-morning meal. It's described as a budget-friendly destination, appealing to those looking for affordable eating-out options. Keep in mind the operating hours particularly if you’re planning a weekend visit, provided they're open Saturdays and Sundays. If you value historical settings and small-town Japanese culture, Hikoboshi could be worth a try, though verifying more recent experiences might be prudent.
