Garden ApproachJapanese-style gardens, maples, moss, and koi create a serene arrival experience.

Natural Onsen BathsNatural hot spring facilities include both indoor baths and open-air bathing.

Irori DiningSeasonal kaiseki and hearth-style irori meals add a distinctive local stay experience.

Traditional CalmQuiet ryokan atmosphere suits travelers seeking a slower, more traditional Hiroshima stay.

Mixed-Style RoomsJapanese-Western rooms combine tatami space with beds for flexible comfort.

Takehara Retreat BaseAbout 20 minutes from Takehara Station, convenient for a restful outskirts stay.

Recommended stay1-2 nightsDining and onsen are the strongest stay drivers here: arrive mid-afternoon, use the baths before dinner, sleep in a quieter rural setting, enjoy breakfast, then pair the stay with Takehara old town or an Okunoshima outing. A third night risks running out of nearby sights unless you have a car and want a slow countryside break.

Trip-planning verdict: Best as a quiet 1-night onsen stay near Takehara, or 2 nights only if you also plan Takehara old town and Okunoshima.

Know before booking

Remote from stationIt sits around 20 minutes from Takehara Station by car or bus, so it is not a walkable rail-side base.

Thin evening areaThis is a self-contained ryokan stay, not a neighborhood with many restaurants, bars, or night walks.

Easy to overstayStay too long and the local sightseeing pool becomes limited unless you plan specific side trips.

Check group datesThe property sometimes accepts school groups, which can affect the atmosphere on certain dates.

Useful access points Stations, stops, airports and practical travel advice.

Best way to arrive For most travelers, arrive via Hiroshima Airport or the JR network, continue to JR Takehara Station, then take a taxi for the final uphill rural approach. If you have luggage, the last segment is usually more comfortable by taxi than on foot.

JR Takehara Stationstation
6.8 km1-chome Chuo, Takehara, Hiroshima, Japantoo far to walk comfortablyabout 20–25 min by taxiabout 20–30 min by local bus or taxi connection
This is the main rail access point for the ryokan and the most useful station for most guests. Use a taxi from here for the easiest final transfer, especially with luggage.
JR Akinagahama Stationstation
7.3 kmNagahama, Takehara, Hiroshima, Japantoo far to walk comfortablyabout 15–20 min by taxibest checked locally
Potentially closer than Takehara Station by map, but usually less useful for visitors because services and transfer options are more limited. Consider it only if your rail route already passes through this area.
JR Shiraichi Stationstation
8.7 kmHigashihiroshima, Hiroshima, Japantoo far to walk comfortablyabout 35–45 min by taxicommonly used with Hiroshima Airport shuttle bus, then onward travel required
Helpful mainly for airport-linked travel because Hiroshima Airport connects with Shiraichi by shuttle bus. This is more useful for planning transfers than for the final direct approach to the ryokan.
JR Mihara Stationstation
19 kmShiromachi, Mihara, Hiroshima, Japanabout 35–45 min by taxibest checked locally; often useful as a rail transfer hub
Useful if you are arriving by Shinkansen, as Mihara is a stronger regional transfer hub than Takehara. From here, continue by local rail or taxi depending on luggage and timing.
Hiroshima Airportairport
6.2 kmMihara, Hiroshima, Japanabout 20–30 min by taxi in light traffictypically best via airport bus or rail-linked transfer, then taxi from Takehara area
Usually the most practical airport for this ryokan. A direct taxi can be convenient, but many travelers may prefer an airport bus or station transfer plus taxi for the last leg.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points

Large Japanese garden settingThe property is known for its expansive traditional Japanese garden, which creates a peaceful, distinctly ryokan-like atmosphere from arrival through the evening.
Authentic hot spring experienceIt offers Yusaka Onsen baths with large public baths, open-air baths, and saunas, making it a strong pick if soaking is a main reason for your stay.
Easy for airport stopoversIts location roughly 15 minutes by car from Hiroshima Airport makes it unusually convenient for travelers who want an onsen stay before or after a flight.
Good fit for a quiet Takehara escapeSet in a calm area outside central urban districts, it suits travelers who want nature, a slower pace, and a more secluded base near Takehara.
Japanese-style dining and room mixThe hotel emphasizes kaiseki-style Japanese meals and offers several room formats, including Japanese, Western, and mixed Japanese-Western layouts, which helps different travel styles.

5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs

Not near the stationIt is not a walkable stay from Takehara Station, so rail travelers usually need a bus, taxi, or car to reach it comfortably.
Better for driving than spontaneous sightseeingThe setting is peaceful but less convenient if you want to pop in and out of central Hiroshima or move around frequently without a vehicle.
Limited urban surroundingsThis is a retreat-style property rather than a lively neighborhood stay, so you should not expect many shops, cafes, or evening options right outside.
Traditional onsen hotel feel may seem datedTravelers seeking a sleek, modern luxury hotel may find the experience more classic and old-school than contemporary.
Best value depends on using the facilitiesIf you do not plan to enjoy the baths, garden atmosphere, or Japanese dinner-focused stay, the appeal drops compared with a simpler city hotel.

Current position: 21st out of 24 ryokans in Hiroshima.
