Yohaku – Feel Your Growth.
“Yohaku” (余白) is a Japanese word for “blank space” or “margin.”
At this event, Yohaku means:
🧘♀️ Time to pause, reflect, and grow
🤝 Space to connect with others
🌅 Room to slow down and enjoy simple moments
This event invites you to experience Hiroshima not as a tourist,
but as if you lived here.
Through encounters and conversations across cultures, each moment can become a spark for growth.
