Best Luxury Hotels In Hiroshima

Much of Hiroshima’s tourism is of course focused on the story of the city’s infamous nuclear bomb; it’s a place that reminds its visitors of the ways in which the past must never be repeated. A frequent stop on bucket list trips across Japan, the area has emerged (after being mostly razed to the ground) as a modern metropolis and ambassador of peace, with much to offer in the way of history, but also as a burgeoning luxury destination. Unmissable attractions include the Atomic Bomb Dome, Hiroshima Peace Museum and the Peace Park, Hiroshima Castle and Shukkei-en Garden.

A highlight of this establishment are the onsen baths, filled with natural saltwater from hot springs that lie deep beneath its surface. Here you can soak in minerals as the warmth eases your muscles — both male and female bathing areas are provided, as well as yukata (robes). This is a 39 bedroom ryokan (typically Japanese) hotel, where guests can sleep either on beds or on traditional futons amongst minimalist surroundings.
