This place is absolutely amazing! I recommend this to anyone who loves traditional Japanese houses. I was truly sad that I had to leave on my last day. This is in my top 3 of the best places I've stayed at. The rooms are spacious and clean. The mountain air is very refreshing. The facilities are well-kept and clean. The owner, Kengo, is beyond friendly. I highly recommend this place.

“Incredible stay in nature in Hiroshima”

I loved my stay at 88 House! It was honestly probably the highlight of my stay. I felt so relaxed, the room was beautiful and cosy, with a peaceful river running nearby. Kengo was an amazing host, very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Hiroshima.

“Wonderful stay in an old, beautiful house”

Our stay was excellent! We had a spacious and beautiful room with a view on the garden. The shared areas were well equipped and clean. Kengo is a kind and attentive host and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay.

The house was very beautiful, we had a super warm welcome, the manager was kind and took time to guide us. 100% recommend, we wish we had stayed more time

“Relaxing spot within easy reach of the city”

Beautiful place, just outside town

“Beautiful Japanese home outside the city.”

88House is filled with authentic charm and a homely warm aura. From the moment you open the front door you are greeted with a beautiful garden and open green spaces to explore within the grounds. We were very late to check in (about 11pm), and the owner Kengo-san waited up for us in order to show us to our room and give us a clear explanation about how to use the facilities. We sincerely appreciated that. Our room was spacious, clean, and very calming to rest in. Heating AC in the room was a godsend for the cold nights, and the showers had hot water and a modern WC with bidet. There is also a shared kitchen to prepare your food and throw trash. There’s a lot to appreciate and admire in 88House Hiroshima. From the beautiful Yukimi shoji doors in the rooms that lets in the natural daylight whilst still retaining privacy, to the beautiful wooden beams and rafters and wooden light fixtures. A lot of interesting books and ornaments adorn the walkway, and there’s even a small section of kids toys to entertain the little ones. Kengo-san has made sure to leave lots of flyers and pamphlets of events/exhibtions, and a variety of things to do and explore in the area, so check the table near the entrance genkan. There is a lot of greenery around you and a small stream outside the property, as well as Kengo-san’s sweet potato fields. Kengo-san is very friendly and my partner and I are very thankful to have had a chance to stay in his home. We highly highly recommend staying here if you are in Hiroshima and want a slice of Japanese home living away from the city. We hope to come back and stay again, and I hope Kengo-san can bring us for that hike up the mountain behind his house to see the Kannon statue!

“Lovely easy going house to stay in.Cherry blossom tree outside bedroom window. Kengo very hospitable host. window.”

Lovely location . Can hear river babbling from bedroom

“Book if you want a peaceful place”

Very peaceful, amazing ryokan, Kengo is an amazing host!

“Highly recommend 88 House for a peaceful stay at a lovely home in Hiroshima.”

The house was so peaceful and connected to nature. We enjoyed staying in a traditional Japanese style house, it was very comfortable. Kengo was so friendly and accomodating :)

“Beautiful house”

Very pretty house, very comfortable rooms and pretty decor, very clean house. The host is very friendly and helpful.

“It’s a great place from the beautiful view to the lovely owner, I would recommend visiting.”

The property itself is gorgeous with a beautiful view to wake up to every morning. The owner was so welcoming and lovely too and gave us a great tour before helping us settle into our room.

“Wonderful place and friendly host offering an oasis of peace and quiet.”

“Peaceful stay in a lovely guest house”

We had an excellent 3 night stay here! It's a beautiful big traditional Japanese house with the host living in a separate house next door. There are 3 rooms in the house so there is the potential to be sharing with other guests. Toilets, shower rooms and kitchen are shared. Our room was huge with futons, a table, and sliding doors that opened up to a view of the garden. It was lovely to be able to hear the river rushing by right beside the house, and cool to stay in a quiet little neighborhood. The #29 bus is very easy to catch to and from Hiroshima station and it runs super frequently, so it wasn't a problem being slightly out from the city centre. We had a very relaxed and peaceful stay here and would definitely come back again. Thank you to our wonderful and friendly host Kengo!

“I recommend!!!”

Great welcome, the room is very nice in Japanese style and a view on the garden

“Worth the extra commute out of the city if you are looking for somewhere quiet and authentic.”

Worth the extra commute out of the city if you are looking for somewhere quiet and authentic, with a very helpful host. Great walking tracks near by also.

Kengo is so nice, he provide details for the hotel and share his favorite place in Hiroshima, and we saw the snowing, it is so exciting

“Original japanese style”

Kengo will host you in a way that will make you stay forever. This house is a gem just a few minutes from central Hiroshima. Waking up in the morning to the sound of the nearby river and the great yard was a treat. This is a typical japanese house and I felt in heaven.

The homestay is located on the outskirts of Hiroshima, but it's well-connected to the center thanks to a bus stop right nearby. The area is quiet and peaceful. The sound of the river behind the house creates a pleasant atmosphere for relaxation. Also comfortable futons

Nice feel, quiet area. Authentic homestay, guesthouse. Nice host who lives next door so available if anything is needed. Full kitchen available. Hiroshima was a highlight of our trip. It's a place we could have spent more time. Really worth the visit.

“The accommodation was great, felt very comfortable there, it is just a little too far from downtown Hiroshima.”

Nice rooms, very friendly host, the river next door made a very pleasant background noise. Very pleasant vibe.
