Access Map
The English Club is located in Hinase, Bizen city of Okayama Prefecture.
It takes about 2 hours from Osaka by train or car.
Since it is only a 5 minute-walk from the JR Ako Line station, Hinase, access by train is very convenient.
Hinase is a beautiful town full of nature, overlooking the calm waters of the Seto Inland Sea.
With the abundant seafood and regional delicacies here, you can enjoy various kinds of food.
I believe it is a place that will impress not only foreigners but also Japanese people.
Please feel free to visit!

Their famous deep-fried buns, cream buns and eclairs are 15cm long, the size of a child’s foot!
Their cakes and pastries are also beautifully aligned, perfect for takeout.
