RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima

8/10 Good

"A clean and good size room We were offered at 26 floors so we can oversee the neighborhood including the Hiroshima Castle and mountains. The scene is pretty. Its location is wonderful so it’s easy to go to most attractions including A bomb Dome, the Castle , memorial museum, Sogo department store, restaurants and prime shopping areas. Taxi to the hotel from train station takes just 1500 yen. We even didn’t have to use any transportation during the two days visit The receptionists are friendly and helpful The only downside: Gym is not included in stay"

GRACE STAY Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent property. Newer building in a very safe area. Didn’t have any fears walking even at night. Very clean rooms. Stayed in the family suite as we have 2 kids. Worked perfect. Kids had their own room and beds. Rooms were large compared to other places we have stayed in Japan. Fantastic bathroom set up. Good amenities including toiletries, PJs and slippers however no washing machine. There is a laundromat within walking distance which was easy and quick plus no need for laundry soap. Check in and out was a seamless process. There is a public-pay parking lot across the street which was convenient as we rented a car. Great restaurant nearby, recommend checking out Meli-Melo and Okonomiyaki Mitsu! Easy walk to Peace Memorial Park and tram nearby. Highly recommend."

GRAND BASE Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

10/10 Excellent

"What a gem of a hotel! The vibe is much of a boutique hotel. Our room was big compared to other Japanese hotels in this price range. We had three large twin beds which allowed our family to stay in 1 room. There was a sitting area with couches. There was a separate kitchenette with microwave and stove. Then there was a washing machine in a separate room with detergent -- what a godsend, as it was unexpected yet needed. There were free room amenities in the lobby including toiletries and coffee/ tea. Unexpectedly, as the lobby is NOT manned, there was a cable lock system where you could secure your baggage should you want to sight see after you checked out. Just 1 caveat that I missed when reserving -- there are no staff persons in this hotel. And I didn't get an email for the code you need to: 1. enter the complex 2. register 3. get the lock combo to enter your room. Initially anxiety provoking BUT called the " contact property" link on the Expedia reservation and they walked me through the process easily. Screen shot the codes when you check in! You'll need them. It is not walking distance to the train station but so close to the Memorial park and the ferry to Miyajima Island which is why we chose this hotel. I met the owner of the hotel - clearly the property reflects her kindness and grace. So happy we stayed here but make sure you have the email before arriving."

"This is an authentic Japanese Ryokan, where you sleep on mats on the floor. We used three mats each to be comfortable. The room was spacious. The bathroom is immaculate and we loved using the onsen or hot bath. The Japanese breakfast was absolutely delicious and included a great variety of foods. The staff was gracious and very helpful. We could store our luggage and they got us a taxi when we left. I highly recommend this place for an authentic Japanese inn experience. It is literally across the street from the peace park and a mile or two from the train station. It is a perfect location."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Sandankyo Onsen?

The best time to visit Sandankyo Onsen is during autumn, particularly from late October to mid-November, or in early summer, from late May to early June.

Autumn is by far the most popular time to visit. The Sandankyo Gorge is renowned for its spectacular autumn foliage, with the mountainsides ablaze in reds, oranges, and yellows. The cooler, crisp air makes for incredibly pleasant hiking conditions along the gorge's trails, leading to waterfalls like the Sandan-daki and the colourful waters of Sarutobi. This period is ideal for couples or anyone looking for breathtaking natural beauty and photography opportunities.

Early summer also offers a wonderful experience. The fresh greenery after the spring rains is vibrant, and the temperatures are comfortably warm without being too hot. The river levels are typically good, enhancing the beauty of the waterfalls and the gorge's streams.
