This is a prewar house, very historical and it is after all a ryokan, so if you are looking for a traditional Japanese house-living experience, definitely stay here. It is in a residential neighborhood, and quite close to the streetcar station by being only a mere 5-minute walk-away. There are I believe three guest rooms, one bathroom, and one shower/sink room. And the price was just unbeatable!

As the house was built prewar, if you want a more comfortable "modern" experience, this place might pose a challenge. All the facility are quite old. There isn't AC outside of bedrooms, so if you are traveling in the summer and you go to the toilet or take a shower or use the kitchen, prepare for the heat! It also is very far (about 11 stops or 30 minutes away) from downtown Hiroshima. Also, note that if you are a solo traveler, you might get a roommate, and there isn't a privacy curtain. Luckily I had wonderful and considerate roommates.

Place is minutes away from the train station. There is a kitchen with the basic supplies needed to cook a meal, no need to go out everyday/night. There is also a few restraunts and a convienve store on the same street, between the train station and the hostel.

No seating in the rooms, just the futons for sleeping. Woud be nice to have a place to sit in the room, if you wanted to keep your distance from others and have some quite time. Nothing that can be done about it, but the train noise when they pass can be loud. The trains don't run all night, so it will stop.

It's in a good position 30 minutes of train from Hiroshima City and 30 minutes from Ferry to Miyajima Island. sheets and a towel were provided and the room was equipped with air conditioning. you can use the kitchen in the house to cook and store food, also there are two konbini easily reachable by foot. The owner Hisaya was very kind! he speaks a bit of English and is available to answer questions at the Ryokan and also by messages. This place is ideal for a short stay and if you pack lightly as in my case.

I think the locker for the door of the room could be improved. The room was shared with another person but there was only a pair of keys available, so on the second day I had to leave the room unlocked in order for the other guest to enter, it was a bit strange.

I booked a shared room, but had the room to myself for two out of three nights. The owner was nice. It was quite clean. It's close to public transportation and the area is calm and quiet.

The bathroom and toilet door were difficult to lock. It was unclear whether someone else was going to stay in the room or not, so I could not lock it in case someone else was coming. It takes a while to get to the center of Hiroshima.

Its a very quiet area, but the train station is pretty close so u get both. These are private rooms and very comfortable to stay in. This has the perfect traditional living style and the host is very friendly.

Its 40 mins far from the centrum of hiroshima, but its very doable, as the next train station is nearby.

The traditional room was lovely. The low furniture was beautifully lacquered. The futon bed was very comfortable and I slept like a log. The facilities were shared but we knew that before and they were clean and the kitchen could be used if you wanted to cook your own food. It was a bit out of the way but with the owner’s great directions this wasn’t a problem once we had sorted out the tram system. It was really nice to be in a traditional Japanese house.

Ryokan was clean and comfortable. I was the only one who stayed in first few days. Owner was friendly to talk anytime during my stay. I had a great time running to peace memorial park and castle area in the morning.

Nothing, it would be nicer if the room were a little bit warmer.

The Japanese style of the building is quite charming and relaxing. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean.

It is a great location if your focus is Itsukushima Island, but as for Hiroshima city, do take into account that it takes more than half a hour by train to reach the city centre, or come back.

Hisaya was the first hostel owner in my traveling experience who called me by my name and had a chat with me. The others just treated me as another number. The place is great, big, very clean and close to a tram station. I loved being there.

The ryokan is very well situated. The train station is 3 minutes away. You can take the train in one direction towards the city center or go the opposite towards the ferry that brings you to Miyajima Island.
