Experience of the stay
I visited the "ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Hiroshima," located just a 1-minute walk from Fukuro-machi station, which can be accessed by tram or local buses. It takes just over 20 minutes from Hiroshima Station, but with several routes available, the access is excellent.
There are many convenience stores around the hotel, so it's convenient to quickly grab anything you need.
I reserved a single room. The room was simply designed. I was pleased to find two different types of pillows available to choose from.
The unit bath was a spacious area with a clean feel 🛁🫧, and I appreciated having a deodorizing and disinfecting spray in the room.
You can also request additional amenities like hair caps and cotton swabs at the front desk.
When I checked in, I confirmed that the hotel lacks a public bath and inquired about walking distance to any sento (public bath), but the response was "There is a bath in the room." It was a bit disappointing that the staff spoke quickly and did not create a welcoming atmosphere.
The spacious entrance and lounge are nice options for making your stay enjoyable, and there seems to be a variety of restaurants to experience.
Experiences during the trip
Here are some dining options within walking distance from the hotel👟
1. Exquisite Yakitori and Sake
Iikagenya (6-minute walk)
I was too tired to head back to Hiroshima Station after a late check-in, so I was looking for dining options near the hotel and stumbled upon this restaurant. I arrived after 9 PM on a holiday, and while some skewers were sold out, I was able to get in without a reservation.
Every yakitori I tried was delicious! It really made me enjoy my drinks. The grilled rice balls to finish off were the best✨
2. Hearty Sandwiches
Park South Sandwich (7-minute walk)
This place opens at 8 AM, making it perfect for breakfast on the go.
The sandwiches, packed with ingredients, were visually stunning and very satisfying.
3. Perfect Oko-teppanyaki for Sightseeing
Okonomiyaki Hashou (19-minute walk / 10 minutes by bus + walk)
When I visited after 11 AM, there was already a line of about 10 people. They make traditional Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki using a spatula to form the dish. I was surprised to find that all the eggs used were double yolks!
