Homestays in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

The hostel had a great location. The beds weren’t the most comfortable but you had your privacy. Toilets and shower were very clean. All in all a nice hostel to stay for 1 or two nights. For a longer stay I would recommend a different one because the beds weren’t that comfortable:))

Definitely the best hostel I stayed at during my 2-week trip to Japan! The mattress is firm and comfortable (unlike many hostels in Japan that use futon-style bedding), so I slept very well. The soundproofing is good, and the location is convenient, with the train station nearby. Highly recommended! There’s also a small local eatery less than a 5-minute walk away where I enjoyed a delicious home-cooked meal for only 500 yen - such a great find!

This was my first time staying here. The staff member who helped me was incredibly friendly and kind. We had a family member in a wheelchair, and they welcomed us warmly. Thanks to them, we had a very comfortable stay in the family room, even though it was just a room-only booking. Although we drove this time, the hotel is close to the station and surrounded by many shops, which was very convenient. Parking right in front of the entrance was a huge help, though it requires prior arrangement. The room itself was simple, cozy, and I absolutely loved it. I'd definitely like to stay here again if I have the chance. Thank you!

Stayed for just one night so I don’t have very much to say except the location is fine - just a little walk from the station. The staff was very lovely and kind and spoke great english. We actually talked a little about my stay and she recommended me a few spots to buy food as I wasn’t able to book breakfast the next day. Super sweet! Onomichi isn’t on everyones itinerary, but I really enjoyed it and was happy I booked this place!

The owner was a very friendly couple, and it was a space that made me smile naturally. The facilities were very beautiful and it was a hostel that I wanted to come again. The pork burger for breakfast was also delicious! It seems that overseas people often stay. It's a bit of a walk from the station, but there are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, and there is a public bath, so I think it's the best without complaint.

Incredible traditional Japanese house, newly renovated with everything you need for comfort. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked for us to prepare our own meals. The garden is beautiful and you can enjoy ocean view and sunrise from the house, there’s even a blooming Cherry Blossom tree in the garden. Just a tip to keep the sliding doors closed properly because mosquitoes do get in. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

The place was quite clean, and the service was excellent. Laundry is super affordable at 200 yen, significantly cheaper than other hostels which typically charge 300-500 yen. They also have a dryer, so rainy days aren't an issue. The only drawback is that it's a wooden, detached house (not reinforced concrete), so the sound insulation isn't the best. Guests need to be mindful of their footsteps; walking heavily could lead to thumping noises audible downstairs, potentially causing complaints. Furthermore, showering is generally not permitted after midnight, as the sound of running water can disturb those on lower floors. Also, guests are required to make their own beds (sheets, pillowcase, duvet cover) upon arrival, and strip them off, placing them in the designated laundry basket upon check-out. If you're unwilling to do this or find making your own bed a hassle, you might want to consider booking elsewhere.

It was a small, cute dormitory. Maybe you can feel a little cottage-like with a wood-like wall? There is also a room for women only, and the pass code is required for entering the room, so I was able to spend my time with peace of mind even if I traveled alone.

Thank you for letting me stay at your place. I think it was a very nice place to temporarily stay when you spent most of your time outside. It was located near the Hiroshima station which meant easy access to many places.

The counter clerk speaks fluent English, the room is decorated in traditional Japanese style and the view is very beautiful. Although there is space for suitcases in the room, considering the distance up the mountain, it is recommended to lock the luggage at the JR station and carry a backpack up the mountain. On the downside, there are only two shared shower rooms, so you may need to wait in line, the quilts and mattresses are a little dusty, and the room has poor sound insulation, which are all problems of old Japanese-style buildings. But the price is very high for the scenery, it is worth experiencing for one night
