How to stay here

  • Peace Memorial Park is about 400 metres away, keeping sightseeing concentrated.
  • Sakaimachi connects to Dobashi dining and Hondori shopping.
  • The whole-apartment format suits a group who know each other’s routines.

How would I choose?

What draws me to Marumasa Sakaimachi 301 is its location about a 400-metre walk from Peace Memorial Park; built around the park and the museum, it suits people who want to base themselves in the Sakaimachi area.

Marumasa by b Hotel Sakaimachi 301 is close to Peace Memorial Park and suits people who put the park and the museum at the centre of their itinerary. I would shortlist it for its location and whole-apartment format — sightseeing by day, resting back in the room, then dinner in Hondori.

Location, transport, and nearby itineraries

Sakaimachi 1-5-3, Naka Ward, 730-0853 Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

The apartment is at Sakaimachi 1-chome 5-3, about a 400-metre walk to Peace Memorial Park, about 760 metres to the museum, and about 790 metres to the Atomic Bomb Dome. Taking the park slowly in the morning and the museum in the afternoon is the pace I would use, and returning to the room to rest is easy.

Hondori Station is about a 1-kilometre walk, and transport can be compared from the Dobashi and Sakaimachi directions. Check-in is self-service with a door code, from 15:00, with check-out by 11:00; I would have one companion keep the entrance instructions, then share the door code and room number with anyone who needs to move separately.

Self check-in: save the door code even when moving separately

Self check-in from 15:00 and check-out by 11:00 give even a one-night short stay a more relaxed departure pace. Save the entrance instructions and door code before arrival, with a copy for each companion arriving in batches, so returning to the room does not depend on one person carrying the key.

Think through before booking

  • Hondori Station is about a 1-kilometre walk, so allow for that stretch when heading to the shopping area.
