A reasonable journey by tram (c 20 minutes) from hiroshima rail station but very good location as its just a short walk to the a bomb dome, peace museum/park and main shopping arcade. Quite a basic hotel with modern, clean but very small rooms. The futon wasn't the most comfortable so we ended up grabbing a spare one from the... More

I stayed here for three nights while in Hiroshima, which has to be one of the most affecting places I've ever been.

I wonder how this ryokan made it into lonely planet? During our Japan trip trough several cities this was the worst price-performance ratio we had.

We had booked a traditional Japanese room, thinking that this was going to be a traditional ryokan (small inn) But it was more like a hotel in which the rooms were modern interpretations of the traditional. There were tatamis on the floor... More

Ikawa Ryokan is budget accommodation and a family-run business. We stayed there for a couple of nights and were pleased with the quality of the inn, its cleanliness and facilities in the rooms, considering the very reasonable price. The Inn features an accommodation annex not apparent in the photos, but linked to the main building. It serviced both western and... More
