『hitotoki』is a sharehouse that connects those who can’t imagine their life without “books”, “travel” and “coffee”.

A large tree in the middle of the living room gathering the members – the symbol of the sharehouse and is also a word-play of its name:『人と木 – hito-to-ki』- a person and a tree.

Enjoying and cherishing every moment, surrounded by books, travel and coffee every day. The concept embraces the ideas of:

A time of teamwork
A time of relaxation and rest
A time of encounter

We hope that this can be a place where a person can spend time keeping and cherishing every memory as a precious treasure.

5 attractions of hitotoki！

《１》Great access to the popular Osaka’s Minami area!

《２》A large park in a 1 minute walking distance is perfect for a refreshing break!
Mandaike park in close proximity of the sharehouse is perfect for those who would like to enjoy reading a book on a bench or go for a run around the pond. During sakura season a picnic under one of the trees is a great idea. It is like having a huge-huge garden in the backyard♪

《３》Bonds between people, created through books
There is a library space that we call『The Forest of Books』, with a『Concierge’s shelf』that contains books carefully selected by the concierge and『My library』that holds books recommended by the housemates.
「New knowledge」through the Concierge ‘s shelf and「Personalities of the housemates」- enjoy the new encounters created by books.

《４》Unique original blend hitotoki
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter – 4 times a year an original blend of coffee is created by the members of the sharehouse.
From choosing the beans and roasting we create a one in a world coffee blend that represents the taste and preferences of our members.
In hitotoki we would also organize master class type of events, where an invited professional barista will teach ways of brewing tasty coffee, explain the difference between various sorts of beans and roasting processes.

《５》A house gathering those in love with travel
hitotoki is a place where people who cannot imagine their life without travel gather.
Introducing the pictures from the places they’ve been to, talking about foreign cultures and their differences. Once the talk about travel and foreign places start, the excitement of the experience will take everyone to another space and let them feel the unusual in their everyday lives. Having made friends with the house members, one could easily jump on some joint trips to foreign countries♪
