About
88 House Hiroshima
88 House Hiroshima is a small, family-run guest house set in a quiet residential area of Hiroshima, about 20 minutes by bus from the main station. The building is traditional in style, with tatami flooring, sliding doors, and a garden that invites slow mornings and evening strolls. The atmosphere is more like staying at a friend's house than a hotel—guests consistently mention the warm welcome from the owner, Kengo, who speaks good English and goes out of his way to help.
The guest house offers a range of comfortable, simply furnished rooms, from Japanese-style twins to a family room with garden views and a balcony. A shared kitchen is stocked with cookware, utensils, and even a mini-supermarket of basics, so you can prepare your own meals. The property also has a spacious living room, laundry facilities, and free private parking. Despite being a little out of the city center, the location has its own appeal: a bus stop right outside, a supermarket and local restaurants within walking distance, and a peaceful backdrop of rice fields and mountains.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Distance from the city center — The guest house is about 20 minutes by bus from Hiroshima Station, and some guests found the location a bit tricky to find at first. The bus stop is right outside, and the host provides detailed instructions.
- Limited dining options on-site — There is no restaurant or breakfast served, though the shared kitchen and nearby supermarkets and restaurants fill the gap. Guests often cook their own meals or walk to local spots.
- Shared bathrooms — The listed room types come with shared bathrooms, which may not suit travelers wanting private facilities. Rooms themselves are praised for comfort and space.
- Simple facilities — Some guests note that facilities are simple, though sufficient. This is a traditional guest house rather than a full-service hotel, so expect a more basic, homely experience.
