OUCHI HOTEL Higashi-Hiratsuka #302 | 26㎡ Balcony Apartment: Sort Out the Beds and Luggage First
OUCHI HOTEL Higashi-Hiratsuka #302
How to stay here
- A 26㎡ apartment with a balcony; sleeping options combine a single bed, a double bed and a sofa bed.
- Higashi-Hiratsuka connects to Nagarekawa and central dining itineraries.
How Would I Choose?
I would keep it for companions willing to share a small apartment and keep their own schedule. With 26㎡ plus a single bed, a double bed and a sofa bed, the living space left after making the beds is the main trade-off, and longer stays need a tidying routine.
OUCHI HOTEL Higashi-Hiratsuka #302 suits people who want to stay in Higashi-Hiratsuka and share apartment living. The 26㎡ space with a balcony is the feature I would compare against small rooms in the city centre.
One single bed, one double bed and a sofa bed give a few sleeping combinations; when actually staying, I would assign every adult a sleeping spot first, then check how much activity and luggage space remains once the sofa bed is opened.
26㎡ with Three Bed Types: Keep Things Tidy Once the Sofa Bed Is Open
Unit 302, a balcony apartment, is listed at 26㎡ with a single bed, a double bed and a sofa bed. I would keep large suitcases in one fixed corner and leave the entrance and bathroom passage clear; use the sofa for daytime rest and tidy the bedding early in the evening.
For a small group with similar routines, this shared space is easy to manage; if someone sleeps early and someone returns late, lighting and conversation times need coordinating. Rather than judging by the apartment name alone, photos taken after the beds are made help me decide.

A Small Kitchen and a Bathtub: Plan Simple Meals and Bathing in Turn
This unit has a refrigerator, microwave and stove, good for heating simple meals; the single bathroom with shower and bathtub still has to be shared in turn when several people stay. For okonomiyaki, pick a shop at Okonomimura in Shintenchi after walking Hondori.

Higashihiratsukacho 10-7, about 700 m from Nagarekawa
Naka-ku Higashihiratsukacho 10−7, Naka Ward, 730-0025 Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
The address is Higashihiratsukacho 10-7; compare city transport from the Kanayamacho direction with the official check-in guidance. The walk from JR Hiroshima Station is about 1.5 km, about 21 minutes, so with suitcases I would plan the transfer and the final carry together.
Nagarekawa Street is about a 700 m walk, and Peace Park about 1.6 km. I would put Hatchobori, Hondori and Shintenchi shopping and dining into one day, and leave a full morning for the park and museum, so I don’t go back and forth just to fetch things.

Short Stays: Entry First; Longer Stays: Cleaning and Towels
For a one-night stay, save Unit 302’s entry information and assign beds first; for two or three nights, 26㎡ needs daily tidying of suitcases and bedding.
This suits companions willing to coordinate daily life themselves and spend most of the time on city activities. If everyone needs more independent rest space every day, this small shared apartment is a clear trade-off.

26㎡ with Three Bed Types: Leave Room for Luggage and Walkways First
If I spend the day on city activities and come back willing to coordinate shared living, I would compare the 26㎡ at Higashi-Hiratsuka 302. Assign the single, double and sofa beds first; the kitchen handles simple meals; with several large suitcases, tidy the bedding daily and keep the bathroom passage clear.

Strengths and Trade-Offs to Accept
Strengths I Value
- A 26㎡ apartment with a balcony; sleeping options combine a single bed, a double bed and a sofa bed.
- Higashi-Hiratsuka connects to Nagarekawa and central dining itineraries.
Think Through Before Booking
- Once the sofa bed is opened, living and suitcase space shrinks.
- JR Station is about a 1.5 km walk; with lots of luggage, arrange a transfer.
