Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Hiroshima

A truly outstanding stay. The house is a beautifully restored traditional machiya with genuine character — tatami rooms in enfilade, antique tansu, shoji and fusuma, a serene stone-lantern garden at the entrance — yet every modern comfort has been thought through with exceptional taste. The equipment level is well above what you'd expect: Nespresso machine with capsules included, high-quality kitchenware, carefully chosen condiments, premium bath amenities, even a writing desk with notebooks and local stickers as a welcome touch. Everything is brand new, immaculate, and clearly chosen with care rather than just ticked off a list. The hosts' communication was outstanding from start to finish — warm, detailed, and proactive. Pre-arrival instructions were exemplary (check-in, transport, Wi-Fi, even local cycle rental recommendations sent unprompted). On the last day they had four bicycles delivered to the garden as a kind surprise for guests — sadly it rained all day so we couldn't use them, but the gesture says everything about the level of care. The location is perfect: a quiet residential street on the Senkō-ji side of Onomichi, tucked under the green hillside, just a few minutes' walk from Onomichi's busy center, yet a world away from the tourist bustle. You feel like you're staying in a real Onomichi neighbourhood, not a guesthouse zone — exactly the right side of town to experience the city. Five nights here felt like staying in a friend's beautifully kept family home. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Traditional and nice, clean house. Cool bathroom. Great wifi. Very friendly and helpful owner. We loved our stay and we would love to have another opportunity to visit.

Kazu and Staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. They provided us with great recommendations of local restaurants/shops and activities. Very clean with great sea view. Comes with a free parking space which is a bonus.

The dinner and breakfast were absolutely amazing and high quality, made with love. In the USA, it would cost more than the total price of this stay at Sayomi's house. The house is a peaceful location up a hill with incredible views and solitude. It's perfectly clean and the bath facilities are high tech and modern, while the home itself has a warm, traditional and home-like feel. Sayomi is incredibly kind and generous. The food is unbelievable. She doesn't speak much English but will still try and communicate in a friendly way, and you can have a good conversation with translator apps. There's also a massage chair and the bath is great for after a long bike ride. Staying here fueled me to finish the difficult bike ride and it is one of my highest recommendations in Japan.

Lovely place. Great location and host.
