Well located, close to the Peace Park & street car line. The property has conventional & traditional rooms. It also appears to cater groups, lots of school group listings in the lobby from Australia & NZ. I stayed in a ryokan room, which was spacious with a shower over bather & toilet. The futon base could have been a little thicker for these old bones, but it was OK. The laundry facilities were welcomed & at ¥200 (provide your own detergent) for a wash & ¥100 for a dry (30mins) was reasonably priced. Some good little restaurants & bars around the area & easy walking to Peace Park & Hiroshima Castle.

Great hospitality, pungent smell in the room

The staff was exceptional. They graciously made follow-up phone calls relating to a lost mobile phone and assisted us in locating it.

Great location. Adequate accommodations.

The major negative was the pungent smell in the room. It smelt like cooked cauliflower, which we mitigated by opening the windows and using air freshener.

Close to everything!

The staff were friendly, helpful and happy to help. The premises were clean and tidy. What we really enjoyed was the location. It was close to local attractions. We also enjoyed the fact it was a traditional Japanese hotel.

Semi traditional hotel, close to A Bomb Dome

Overall good, staff (owner) is blunt and direct but ok. Room was good, breakfast was ok. Close to the A Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial. There is a tram line (street car) which runs close to the hotel. You can take this from JR Hiroshima Station to hotel, Yen 280 each or taxi will cost approx. Yen 850 -1000

Terrible: don't go there!

The room stinks dirtiness mixed with cigarettes, although I asked for a non smoking room. The ventilation system brings the air from the other rooms and brings it there. When you open the window you ll find a wall at 20 cm in front of you. I asked to change the room they were full. The next day people were checking out so I asked again but the manager refused to make an effort. I reserved for breakfast but did not show up because I wanted to sleep more. They called me on the phone so I said thank you but I will skip it. They kept calling 3 times, i kept answering the same thing until they knocked on my door and entered the room screaming \"breakfast please!\". I was lying down in the tatami, shocked. It's impossible that they could be japanese. The quality of service is awful...
Location is great.

sub-standard Ryokan by Japanese standard

This property includes Ikawa, Ikawa new wing, and Ikawa annex. We stayed in Annex, booked a room for family of 4. It's so tiny that it's just barely enough to lay down 3 futons for sleeping. Opened the 2 windows and staring right at neighboring building walls. It is only half a meter away, I could touch it. Room is very bare, no decoration of any kind. At room corners I could see signs of some water marks, could be moisture damage can't get out of the room.

The Ryokan run by old folks, they are all right but the up-keeping of the place isn't that good. It's by far the worst Ryokan I've stayed in Japan out of 6 trips there.

Unfortunately disappointing even for the price.

Was not greeted by the staff upon arrival. Had to search around for another guest who directed me to the desk, found my key there. Difficult to find the room as it's 3 buildings.

Room was smaller than expected, very dated, and the tatami was smelly (moreso than it should have been, I have stayed in many ryokans). The fridge (a pleasant suprise) was plugged in but not working and the hot water heater thing was not working. Toilets were smelly and the smell hung in the hallway too. The hallways were very cold as they leave the door roped open.

I paid for a Japanese breakfast, and it was very disappointing. I have had a lot of Japanese food and this was not up to standard. If you want a Japanese experience try a set menu for lunch or dinner, and get the western breakfast at this hotel if you need to have breakfast.

Good parts were the location, about a 3 minute walk from Dobashi tram/streetcar station. Also the staff when I managed to meet them were kind (although spoke almost no English, not even enough to get by really). And they let me leave my luggage there after I checked out.

Honestly I feel like they didn't care about me because I was a single traveller only there for one night. Maybe it would be better in other situations. It seems like they host very big groups like schools. Maybe they get a better experience.

It's like a hostel

It seems the hotel has a foreigners bldg and domestic people's bldg. the foreigners bldg is like a hostel. If you want to experience sleeping on Tatami,this is good. But this is not like a typical Japanese room at all. Too expensive for this kind of hotel.

A good choice for budget travellers

Clean and fairly comfortable, a good choice for budget travellers to experience a ryokan stay. The room had a bit of a damp smell to it but otherwise not much to complain about. Hotel staff were friendly. A traditional Japanese breakfast was an option and was great but would be good if they had someone or something to explain in English how to enjoy it all. Very close to the peace park.

Bare bones hotel

If all you need is a place to sleep for one night this is OK but not if you plan to spend more time in Hiroshima. Except for the tatami mats on the floor this is not a ryokan although the name says it is. Very small room, very poor setting, unsatisfactory overall experience.

Excellent position for the Peace

Excellent position for the Peace Park and A dome. Very quiet and comfortable. We were 4 adults in one Japanese style room, which was a little bit of a tight fit with big suitcases, but we had our own bathroom, fridge and water boiler.

The only thing we didn't like

The only thing we didn't like about this hotel was the smell in the room, which I guess can't be helped considering the floor is made out of bamboo.
Everything was quite good, the staff were very helpful and the hotel is very close to a tramcar stop and a short walk to the major tourist attractions of Hiroshima.

まもなく生後8ヶ月になる赤ちゃんと3泊4日で宿泊しました。ﾊｲﾊｲやたっちをするので和室にしました。部屋は、古いながらも清潔で、特に布団などのﾘﾈﾝ類はきれいにしてあり安心でした。ｴｱｺﾝもよく効き快適です。ﾌﾛﾝﾄの他、食堂や掃除のｽﾀｯﾌは皆感じが良かったです。大浴場はいつでも入れるので便利でした。赤ちゃんと入りました。
とにかく、宿の立地は最高です。平和公園や原爆ﾄﾞｰﾑ、買い物ができるｱｰｹｰﾄﾞ街も、すぐ！周りにお好み焼き屋やお洒落なﾊﾞﾙなど飲食店も多いです。
１点だけ、残念なのは、洗濯乾燥機(施設内に3台)にかけるとめちゃくちゃ埃がついててて、掃除されてないのかな??と思いました。まぁ、気になったのはそれだけです。
ｱｯﾄﾎｰﾑで快適な宿です。また機会があれば利用したいです。

便利な立地

昔のビジネスホテルという感じです。ただし、部屋は改築してあります。wifiも無料。本館のバス付き(ユニットバス)の洋室に宿泊。シングルベッドが二台、小さなサイドテーブル、小さな冷蔵庫(ベッドサイドテーブルを兼ねている)があり、スペースはあまりなかったです。でも、路面電車の駅に近く、平和記念公園も徒歩圈と便利です。料金も安いし、寝に帰るだけなら充分だと思います。ただし、部屋の鍵は昔のタイプで、プラスチックの長四角のタグ(?)がついており、持ち歩きに不便でした。フロントでは預かってくれず、持ち歩き必須のようです。

Accueil froid. Chambre propre mais mauvaise odeur

L'accueil n'est pas très souriant ni agréable, mais bon... Ca doit être à cause de la barriere de la langue.
Chambrz avec une forte odeur à cause des tatamis sûrement récents.

広い湯船をを独占できる！

広島空港→広島バスセンター→旅館。
たどり着くと「IKAWA」と黒い背景色に白い文字。ホストクラブ的なものやヤクザ的なものを看板から連想しましたが、入ってから、おじいさんおばあさんの対応が最初は冷たいが日に日によくなっていくので親しみやすい。若い男性と女性のスタッフもいます。
あと広島市内から宮島、岩国、尾道、呉などに行くと現場で結構歩くので疲れを飛ばせる風呂がいい。風呂の浴槽が3m×2.5mくらいありかなり広い割には人が重複して入浴することがないため、とても快適でした。
部屋自体は狭くあまり期待できない。
しかし、24時間出入り自由。近くに24時間営業のスーパーがありつまみやビールを買うにはいい場所。朝食も頼める。
ネット環境はフロントに言えばWiFiが使えますが、私はスマートフォンのテザリングを使用。駅は路面電車の土橋駅が近く、平和記念公園原爆ドームへのアクセス、宮島へのアクセスは簡易。

J'avais une chambre avec futon sans sanitaires. Ils étaient dans le couloir. Il y a une grande salle de bains commune mais les horaires hommes/femmes ne sont pas définis et si vous êtes une femme, il faut verrouiller la porte. Yukata et produits de toilette fournis. Le petit déjeuner est servi très tôt de 6h30 à 8h. Nombreux plans et guides dans toutes les langues à disposition. Seul le patron parle anglais. Accès facile à tous les sites touristiques par le tramway situé à 5 min.
