Welcome to Hiroshima’s “Otaku Gathering Place”!

Located on the first floor of the retro building “Roxy Hall” in Hiroshima, “Cosplay BAR Otaku Okiba Hatena” offers a space where customers are greeted by cosplaying girls in a fun, otaku-filled environment. In addition to the great service, the bar also features rare types of sake, updated weekly. With a budget starting at 2,000 yen, it’s a reasonably priced option. The interior boasts a stylish wooden counter, dartboards, and shelves lined with bottles, creating a sophisticated adult atmosphere.

The biggest appeal of “Cosplay BAR Otaku Okiba Hatena” is the ever-changing characters the girls dress up as. From popular “character cosplay” (characos) to school uniforms, maid outfits, lolita, and even cross-dressing, the diversity of cosplay themes ensures a fresh experience every time you visit.

Enjoy the Night with Unique Otaku Girls

Located in Hiroshima’s Nagarekawa district, “Cosplay BAR Otaku Okiba Hatena” is the perfect spot for anyone interested in otaku culture. With different cosplays depending on the day of the week, and a cast of quirky, unique otaku girls, this place offers a variety of ways to have fun, including karaoke and darts. Whether you’re an alcohol enthusiast or an anime lover, this bar is an ideal gathering spot. Plus, you can enjoy the fun even without drinking, thanks to the availability of non-alcoholic beverages.

A Cosplay Bar as a Space for Communication

Not only is this bar a place to enjoy drinks, but it also functions as a meeting space for people who share an interest in cosplay. While chatting across the counter, you can engage in conversations about your favorite anime and characters. Cosplay helps to break the ice, making it easy to connect with new people and enjoy lively otaku-themed discussions. Spending time with the staff dressed in various characters offers a unique kind of communication experience that you can’t find in everyday life.

Although “Cosplay BAR Otaku Okiba Hatena” is located in a quieter corner of the Nagarekawa district in central Hiroshima, the location can be a bit tricky to find.
