View of Hiroshima from Hiroshima Washington Hotel
こんにちは (Konnichiwa)!
Hiroshima is unlike any other city in the world. It experienced one of the worst events in the history of mankind and has not only rebuilt itself but is now a thriving major city in Japan.
Even though Hiroshima is fairly large in size, choosing where to stay in Hiroshima is easy. You want to be as close to the city center as possible since many of Hiroshima’s major attractions are spread across the city. The best place to stay in Hiroshima is the Hiroshima Washington Hotel, which happens to be right in the heart of Hiroshima.

The location of the Hiroshima Washington Hotel made traveling in Hiroshima so easy it was almost effortless. From waking up to an amazing breakfast spread to ending the night with an incredible view of Hiroshima from our room, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Hiroshima and it had everything to do with picking the perfect accommodation in Hiroshima, the Hiroshima Washington Hotel.

The Room
Triple Room at Hiroshima Washington Hotel
Bathsalts from MUJI (located next to HWH)
Cups and kettle for coffee and tea
We stayed in a triple room that offered a surreal view of Hiroshima. Outside the window we could see the aboveground shopping streets and Okonomi-mura down below. In the distance was what looked like a stream of buildings going into the mountains. It was hard to believe that this stunning city was rebuilt from nothing.
The room itself was very clean and modern. All bathrooms at the Hiroshima Washington Hotel are composed of two separate rooms, with the toilet and sink in one and a traditional Japanese bathtub and shower area in another. The bathtub was amazing to soak in after a long day of exploring Hiroshima. The hotel also provided great amenities for us to use and offered plenty of utilities to make us feel right at home.
Jerseys from Hiroshima’s baseball and soccer teams
We had the chance to check out a few of Hiroshima Washington Hotel’s specialty rooms. The people of Hiroshima have a lot of pride in their home teams, which is reflected in one of the specialty rooms that showcased the local sport teams and symphony. Another specialty room was decorated with iconic Hiroshima attractions, allowing you to “see” Hiroshima without even having to leave the hotel!
The Food
Located on the fourth floor next to the lobby is the hotel’s restaurant, Bonjour Plus, which offered an amazing breakfast buffet spread of Japanese and western style dishes. The restaurant is sleek and modern, with plenty of seating for all. Bonjour Plus offers plenty of Hiroshima staples such as Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and an amazing local mandarin orange juice that we wished we could’ve purchased to bring home!
BONJOUR PLUS
Hours: Open Daily 6AM – 10AM (11AM on weekends and holidays)
The Service
Staying at the Hiroshima Washington Hotel was memorable because of the amazing service we received. From check in to check out, everything went seamlessly.

The outstanding service made us feel confident that the Hiroshima Washington Hotel was the perfect choice of where to stay in Hiroshima.
