Minshuku Hiroshimaya

The Host Yoko-San was magnificent! She will treat you like family. She will immediately give you the information and show you the facilities as well as take you to your room. The staff is always on hand help. And you will have one of the best traditional Japanese housing experiences ever. The house alone has a lot of history! And not only will you see you will experience it. The location is fantastic. Very Scenic. It's not too far from public transportation. In a nice very quiet spot. But it's easy to miss.

If your on the tall side of life. You have to be mindful not to bump your head.

The only place I've deliberately booked twice, just because of how nice the first stay was. It is an old but beautiful building, right in the middle of a temple. Despite its age it offers just about any modern amenity you could wish for. However by far the best thing about this place is its owner. Just a wonderful lady all around, whose passion is caring for this abode and its guests. If you can book with breakfast, please do! It is a home-cooked traditional Japanese breakfast, made fresh every day. I even got it for free, because she forgot to tell about the pick-up service and she felt bad that I had to walk.

Nothing! The perfect stay. I will say, that the location is not central and if you have problems with walking up stairs this might not be the place for you. Also they have shared showers/bathrooms, as is common in such "minshukus".

An absolutely picturesque experience in every conceivable manner. The room was extremely comfortable and calming, while providing that idealized image of traditional Japanese living that all travellers seek out. Breakfast was a delicious spread of local cuisine in a very generous portion size. The host, Yoko, was extremely kind and accommodating. My only regret is not booking more nights there than I did.

Everything! From the host, the room, and the breakfast that seemed to be prepared by your mom or grandma. My room even had a view of the cherry blossom tree.
