Higashihiroshima, Hiroshima, Japan｜喫茶 伴天連

Best horror/haunted cafe in the prefecture IF NOT THE COUNTRY!!!!!!! Super creepy location on a hillside on the outskirts of Saijo City. Only really accessible by car making the area very isolated and desolate. Head past the aged dilapidated love hotels, passed a golf course and behind a old abandoned resort center you’ll find a mystical place seemingly from another dimension or time period. Not much will tell you if it’s open or not so just check the posted schedule and be brave!! Head in passed the many hidden “traps” and out from behind an actual medieval suit of armor pops one of the most courteous, kindest, humorous horror fanatic/owner you will ever meet! From actually shrunken heads (with certificates and all!) to bison skulls and a preserved frog (he caught the other day!) the place has it all! Open long hours almost every day of the week. Best to go at night or dusk but the place is so dark inside that it shouldn’t matter. And it’s “just a regular cafe!” as the owner says so they have freshly ground coffee to sandwiches and even pancakes! Definitely a pilgrimage to make for any horror fan!! Enjoy!!!

Visited around 11:40 on November 4, 2023 The parking lot is large so I don't think you will have any problems. You may feel uneasy at night as you will be passing through a road between golf courses. Walk a little from the parking lot to the entrance, and there is a door at the back, so enter from there. There are counter seats and table seats, so it's okay even if there are a lot of people. It seems like you can talk to the owner at the counter. The inside of the store is dark and has horror equipment, giving it a nice atmosphere. You may be surprised by the sounds along the way, so please go and experience it for yourself. I ordered coffee for ¥500. It's ground from beans and the cup is large, so you can grind slowly. Either way, it's a fun place, so please go as a couple.

Visited for the first time in a few years on the idea of ​​having a meal at a restaurant where you can enjoy with your children on your wedding anniversary. My daughters, who were frightened when they were toddlers, don't remember that time, but this time they were overjoyed. It seems that my wife also enjoyed it, thank you to the wonderful master ☺️ As for snacks, I had coffee and toast, and my wife and daughter had their favorite drinks and pancakes. Everything was delicious and I enjoyed not only the atmosphere but also the food. really like. From the parking lot to entering the store, children "Are you really open? ? When I was timid, I opened the dark and heavy door and heard a strange light and the master's voice from the other side. 』was the best with a real Ghibli feeling🌟
