Ikawa Ryokan

They had coin operated washer and dryer and a small eating area (which they were very clear that you need to pay so they will make your dinner). The tatami floor was very very comfortable to use but I find that the heating inside the room was quite weak and it takes very long to reach a steady temperature. The staff was extremely extremely kind. Words cannot describe how guilty I felt when I fell sick and dirtied their tatami floor a bit. The lady at the counter spoke very good english and she helped me wipe down the floor to get rid of the smell.

Pretty close to the HIroshima peace memorial, which is the only thing I actually cared about seeing. Which is actually pretty close to the Hondori, which I discovered was amazing and spent the entire day walking through. Great Ryokan experience. The bed was thicker than I was expecting, meaning more comfortable than just a sheet on the ground. Unit had A/C and multiple outlets. It has a Luup station right outside, so it was easy to grab that and travel to the memorial.

Staff are very welcoming, the rooms are perfect if you want to immerse yourself in Japanese culture. The shared toilets and shower rooms are nice clean. The location is right next to the Memorial peace park, museum and city centre.

The location was perfect. I could walk to the Peace Park, Museum, and the Atomic Dome. It was a 5-minute walk from a bus stop and a street car station, so I could get anywhere in the city that I wanted. The accommodation was clean and included a great shower and complimentary yukata and tea. The people were nice, too.

Room was simple but with private bathroom which was very convenient, and you could walk directly into the room with all the luggage.
