Where to Stay in Hiroshima: The Four Areas

Hiroshima’s hotels fall into four areas: around Hiroshima Station, where the bullet trains stop; the Peace Memorial Park and downtown, home to the A-Bomb Dome and the main shopping and dining streets; Ujina on the waterfront to the south; and Miyajima, the island with the floating torii gate. The streetcar from Hiroshima Station to the Peace Park takes about 15 minutes.

Hiroshima Station area: best for the shinkansen and Miyajima

If you’re moving on by bullet train or day-tripping to Miyajima, the station area is the most convenient. Sheraton Grand Hiroshima Hotel, the station-connected Hotel Granvia Hiroshima and the budget-friendly APA Hotel Hiroshima-Ekimae Ohashi are here.

Peace Park and downtown: best for sightseeing on foot

The A-Bomb Dome, the Peace Memorial Park, the covered Hondori shopping arcade and streets packed with okonomiyaki restaurants are all within walking distance. If you want to explore the city on foot, this is the place to stay.

RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima, Hilton Hiroshima, KIRO Hiroshima and Mitsui Garden Hotel Hiroshima are here.

Miyajima: best for the island at night and in the morning

Miyajima, home to the UNESCO-listed Itsukushima Shrine, is at its most beautiful from evening to early morning, after the day-trippers leave. At Miyajima Kinsuikan, with its hot-spring bath, you get the island’s quiet night.

Ujina: best for road trips and sea views

Ujina, home to Hiroshima Port, is a waterfront area on the Seto Inland Sea, south of the city center. Grand Prince Hotel Hiroshima is the place to relax with a view of the water.

As a rough guide, expect US$550 and up per night for a ryokan on Miyajima, US$180–400 for upscale hotels, US$100–300 for midrange, and US$60–160 for budget hotels. Ryokan rates usually include dinner and breakfast, so they aren’t directly comparable with a room-only hotel rate.

Standard rooms in Japan are smaller than in most US hotels, especially at budget business hotels. If you’re traveling with large suitcases, check the room size before you book.

The 9 Best Hotels in Hiroshima

1 Sheraton Grand Hiroshima Hotel

Why stay here

The big draw of Sheraton Grand Hiroshima Hotel is its location right by the shinkansen exit of Hiroshima Station. Step off the bullet train and check in without hauling your suitcase through the streets.

Almost every outing in Hiroshima starts at the station: JR trains to Miyajima, streetcars to the Peace Memorial Park. If you plan day trips in different directions, this is the easiest base.

2 RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima

Why stay here

RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima is a high-rise hotel in the Kamiyacho district, about a 5-minute walk from the A-Bomb Dome. The Peace Memorial Park and Hiroshima Castle are also within walking distance.

Upper floors have views across the city, and rooms are spacious enough to settle in. It’s right next to Hiroshima Green Arena, so it also works well if you want to get straight back to your room after a concert.

3 Hotel Granvia Hiroshima

Why stay here

Hotel Granvia Hiroshima is a JR-affiliated hotel connected to the shinkansen side of Hiroshima Station. The ticket gates are right there, which makes arrival and departure days easy.

From the station, streetcars run to the Peace Memorial Park and JR trains to Miyajimaguchi. With several restaurants inside, dinner is easy even on a late arrival. It’s a good fit if you want to be next to the station without paying top prices.

4 Hilton Hiroshima

Why stay here

Hilton Hiroshima is a base for exploring the city on foot. The Peace Memorial Park is within walking distance, and so are the downtown streets full of okonomiyaki restaurants and the Hondori shopping arcade.

With a pool and spa, it’s an easy place to recover after a long shinkansen ride or a full day at the Peace Park.

5 KIRO Hiroshima by THE SHARE HOTELS

Why stay here

KIRO Hiroshima is a small, well-designed hotel right in the middle of downtown. It’s surrounded by okonomiyaki restaurants and izakaya (Japanese pubs), so you can eat your way around the neighborhood and walk back.

A shared kitchen and lounge give it a sociable feel. There are also rooms with bunk beds, a budget-friendly choice for friends or families with kids.

6 Miyajima Kinsuikan

Why stay here

Miyajima Kinsuikan is a hot-spring ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) on Miyajima’s waterfront. Itsukushima Shrine and the Five-Story Pagoda are within walking distance, and you get the island almost to yourself once the day-trippers have left.

Seeing the great torii gate lit up at dusk and walking the shrine approach early in the morning are things only overnight guests get to enjoy. If you splurge on just one night in Hiroshima, make it a night on Miyajima. Most plans include dinner and breakfast, so keep that evening free rather than booking a restaurant elsewhere.

7 Grand Prince Hotel Hiroshima

Why stay here

Grand Prince Hotel Hiroshima is a large hotel on the Ujina waterfront, facing the Seto Inland Sea south of the city. Outside the windows are the sea and its islands, a completely different feel from a downtown hotel.

Inside are a paid hot-spring facility and a pool, so kids can spend a lazy day here too. It’s a bit far from downtown, but it works well for families traveling by car.

8 Mitsui Garden Hotel Hiroshima

Why stay here

Mitsui Garden Hotel Hiroshima sits between the Peace Memorial Park and downtown. You can walk to the park and to Hondori, and the price is moderate, which makes it a sensible base for sightseeing.

Rooms are on high floors with views over the city. Breakfast is well reviewed too, so it suits a day that starts with a good breakfast and a walk to the Peace Park.

9 APA Hotel Hiroshima-Ekimae Ohashi

Why stay here

APA Hotel Hiroshima-Ekimae Ohashi is a large hotel within walking distance of the station’s South Exit. It’s close to the station but priced low, a good match for solo trips and short stays.

There’s a large shared bath, Japanese style, so you can soak after a day on foot at the Peace Park or Miyajima. The Hiroshima Station streetcar stop is nearby too, handy for getting around the city.

Tips Before You Book a Hotel in Hiroshima

Getting around from Hiroshima Station

For the Peace Memorial Park, take a streetcar from Hiroshima Station to Genbaku Dome-mae. Osaka and Kyoto are about an hour and a half away by shinkansen. Pay for streetcars and local trains with an ICOCA or Suica IC card, which you can also add to the Wallet app on an iPhone.

Moving on to your next city? Ask your hotel about luggage forwarding, a common service in Japan that sends your bags ahead.

Getting to Miyajima: JR and the ferry, plus a visitor tax

Take the JR Sanyo Line from Hiroshima Station to Miyajimaguchi, then a ferry across to the island. Everyone arriving on Miyajima pays a small Miyajima Visitor Tax, which in most cases is collected together with the ferry fare.

Hot springs, shared baths and tattoos

Some hotels in this guide have a large shared bath or hot-spring facility. In Japan you bathe without a swimsuit after washing at the showers, and some baths don’t allow tattoos. If that applies to you, check with the hotel before you go.

Book early on concert and event dates

When a big event is on at Hiroshima Green Arena or Mazda Stadium, home of the Carp baseball team, hotels across the city fill up fast. Once your dates are set, reserve a room right away.

Eat Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki downtown

Hiroshima’s okonomiyaki is a savory pancake built up in layers with cabbage and noodles. Downtown has countless places to try it, so if you plan to eat out at night, a downtown hotel makes the trip back easy.

No tipping in Japan

Tipping isn’t expected at hotels, ryokan, restaurants or taxis in Japan. The price you see is the price you pay.

So, Which Hiroshima Hotel Should You Book?

Start by deciding what matters most: easy trips by shinkansen and to Miyajima, the Peace Park and walking the city, or a stay by the sea or on the island.

If in doubt, start with Sheraton Grand Hiroshima Hotel, right by the shinkansen. It’s an easy base for day trips to both Miyajima and the Peace Park.

To stay near the A-Bomb Dome, go for RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima; for a station-connected hotel at a fair price, Hotel Granvia Hiroshima. For a pool and spa, choose Hilton Hiroshima, and to eat your way through the nightlife district, KIRO Hiroshima.

If the stay itself is the point of the trip, book Miyajima Kinsuikan for a night on Miyajima with a hot spring.

To spend less, families driving should look at Grand Prince Hotel Hiroshima, and city walkers at Mitsui Garden Hotel Hiroshima. For a cheap room by the station, choose APA Hotel Hiroshima-Ekimae Ohashi.
