The World Friendship Center was definitely my favorite of all the places I stayed at in Japan. JoAnn and Larry are great hosts and made me feel very much at home. It was hard tearing myself away from the breakfast table to go explore the city, because it was so interesting and pleasant talking to them. I also enjoyed very... More

Clean, comfortable, homelike guesthouse run by very a helplful, friendly and interesting couple. The tour of the peace park (included in the price of staying there) was one of the best experiences we had and really added to our understanding of what happened in Hiroshima and the meaning of all the monuments. My husband was very sick with gastro when... More

We arrived at WFC quite late – the Shinkansen had been delayed 5 hours by typhoon winds and rain. Larry came out to the street to meet us after I phoned to say we were nearly there.

Definitely recommend trying to arrange the... More

Really friendly folks share the Barbara Reynolds story and the story of the post A-bomb victims and her work to get their story told. Only 15 minutes from peace park in a quiet neighborhood. A real value, I will remember their hospitality and their story long after... More
