The best time to visit Sandankyo Onsen is during autumn, particularly from late October to mid-November, or in early summer, from late May to early June. Autumn is by far the most popular time to visit. The Sandankyo Gorge is renowned for its spectacular autumn foliage, with the mountainsides ablaze in reds, oranges, and yellows.

Hiroshimanoyado Aioi

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is incredibly close to one of the most iconic structures of World War II, directly across from the “atomic dome“ which is one of the few buildings left from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. The hypocenter, where the weapon exploded, is just behind the hotel, which tells you the amazing recovery. The people of Hiroshima have made. The breakfast is uniquely Japanese and everything about this hotel is structured around old Japanese style and traditions, which is well worth the time and visit!"

HOTEL CLA-SS HIROSHIMA - Dobashi

10/10 Excellent

"We had a little issue with checking in but after about 20 minutes we were able to get in. There was no receptionist so it was a bit confusing. Make sure you fill out passport information prior to arrival so they can send you code to get in. Short walk to all the sightseeing and museums… 711/ family mart is very close to grab coffee and snacks. Laundry service is nearby but i could not find the address to type in into gps so i had to follow instructions provided in the booklet … it would’ve been helpful to have the address of this place written too. Great location! Check out nearby sports bar BLKS they are very friendly there!! I felt so welcomed."

GRAND BASE Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

10/10 Excellent

"What a gem of a hotel! The vibe is much of a boutique hotel. Our room was big compared to other Japanese hotels in this price range. We had three large twin beds which allowed our family to stay in 1 room. There was a sitting area with couches. There was a separate kitchenette with microwave and stove. Then there was a washing machine in a separate room with detergent -- what a godsend, as it was unexpected yet needed. There were free room amenities in the lobby including toiletries and coffee/ tea. Unexpectedly, as the lobby is NOT manned, there was a cable lock system where you could secure your baggage should you want to sight see after you checked out. Just 1 caveat that I missed when reserving -- there are no staff persons in this hotel. And I didn't get an email for the code you need to: 1. enter the complex 2. register 3. get the lock combo to enter your room. Initially anxiety provoking BUT called the " contact property" link on the Expedia reservation and they walked me through the process easily. Screen shot the codes when you check in! You'll need them. It is not walking distance to the train station but so close to the Memorial park and the ferry to Miyajima Island which is why we chose this hotel. I met the owner of the hotel - clearly the property reflects her kindness and grace. So happy we stayed here but make sure you have the email before arriving."
