Celine Kanayama One-Bedroom Apartment | Kanayama-cho, 53㎡ for Eight, Three Double Beds plus a Sofa Bed
Celine Kanayama by b Hotel – Vibrant 1Br Downtown Shopping & Dining Nearby 11
How this place works best
- Kanayama-cho is handy for dining and transport, with PARCO about 570 metres away.
- At 53㎡ with a bedroom and living room, a group can stay in one unit.
How would I choose?
I would consider it for Kanayama-cho’s dining, transport and shared living space. At 53㎡, one bedroom for up to eight people, the sleeping places are concentrated — it suits groups happy to share beds and keep similar routines; anyone wanting several separate bedrooms should look at other layouts.
Celine Kanayama by b Hotel – Vibrant 1Br Downtown Shopping & Dining Nearby 11 suits people who put downtown dining first and want friends or family to stay together. What appeals to me is the 53㎡ and the living-room space: out during the day, back together to rest in the evening.
One bedroom holds three double beds, and the living-room sofa bed takes the seventh and eighth sleepers. My approach would be to check first whether everyone can accept sharing beds and a room, then decide who sleeps in the living room; if several separate bedrooms are needed, layout becomes the more pressing condition.
At 53㎡, the point is how bedroom and living room divide the work
Three double beds share one bedroom, while the living-room sofa bed moves the seventh and eighth sleeping places into the common area. Once the sofa is made up as a bed, anyone chatting or watching TV has to work around it — the living trade-off I care most about when eight people stay.
Also at Kanayama-cho 2-14, there is another Celine listing: a 50㎡ two-bedroom unit with four double beds. This unit is 53㎡, one bedroom plus a living-room sofa bed — a larger floor area does not mean more separate rooms. Three double beds concentrated in one room affects routines and privacy more than the extra 3㎡, and deserves to come first.

Kanayama-cho 2-14, about 1 km from JR Station
2-14 Kanayama cho, Naka Ward, 730-0022 Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
The address is Kanayama-cho 2-14; plan arrival using the Kanayama-cho tram stop and the host’s entry instructions. The walking route from JR Hiroshima Station is about 1 km, around 15 minutes — worth comparing on foot when travelling light, but factor in city transport if you have suitcases.
PARCO is about a 570-metre walk and Nagarekawa street about 590 metres, so Hatchobori shopping and downtown dining fit into one day. Peace Park is about 1.5 km away; I would set aside a separate morning to visit it, then head to Hondori and Shintenchi for meals in the afternoon.

One bedroom plus living-room sleeping places: longer stays need matching routines
For a single night, sorting out the entry information, bed assignments and where the big suitcases go first means less tidying after arrival. Over several nights, the living-room sofa bed has to be made up and put away repeatedly, so early risers, late sleepers and chat times all need to work around each other.
This place suits companions who value spending time together more than having separate rooms; if several families all expect to close a door and rest, I would compare multi-bedroom units or several hotel rooms instead.
