Casaen302 Apartment | Kanayamacho 42㎡: Two Beds Plus a Living-Room Sofa Bed for Six
Casaen by b Hotel – Spacious 1Br Apt for 6 Ppl Great Location with Room Wifi
How to stay here
- PARCO is about 390 m away, and dining and shopping in Nagarekawa and Hondori are easy to arrange.
- A 42㎡ one-bedroom plus living room, good for a small group staying together.
- Two beds plus a sofa bed can be assigned according to who you travel with.
How Would I Choose?
What draws me to Casaen302 (Casaen by b Hotel – Spacious 1Br Apt for 6 Ppl Great Location with Room Wifi) is that a whole 42㎡ unit in the Kanayamacho area lets a small family or friends stay together. Sleeping six involves sharing beds and using the sofa bed, so I would first agree on who sleeps in the bedroom and who uses the living room, then compare the whole-unit cost.
Room-Type Differences
The apartment is listed at 42㎡ with one bedroom, one large bed and one double bed, plus a sofa bed in the living room. Sleeping six is not the same as six single beds; if fellow travellers do not want to share a bed, this layout needs reconsidering.
My approach would first reserve the bedroom for those who want to sleep early, then discuss when the living-room bed is folded away. Once the sofa bed is unfolded, nighttime activity and luggage space change; staying with fewer people and keeping the common area free may come closer to the relaxed apartment life you imagine.

302 Suits Travellers Who Know Each Other — Agree on the Living-Room Sleeping Spot First
If you want a small family or friends to stay together in 42㎡, I would put Casaen302 on the comparison list; two beds plus a sofa bed still mean sharing beds and coordinating routines. Accepting the shared distance of one bedroom and a living-room sleeping spot is what gives the apartment its value as a place to gather.
Kitchen and Bathtub for Simple Self-Catering After Returning
Unit 302 has a kitchen, refrigerator, electric kettle and a bathroom with a bathtub, convenient for simple meals and resting after returning. For Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, you can follow PARCO shopping with Shintenchi Okonomimura.

Arriving from Kanayamacho and Linking Nearby Itineraries
10-6 Kanayamacho Naka-ku 302, Naka Ward, 730-0022 Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
The address is 10-6 Kanayamacho, Unit 302, about 390 m on foot to PARCO, about 420 m to Nagarekawa Street, and about 970 m to Hondori Station. If you want to combine Hatchobori department stores, Hondori and a Shintenchi meal in one day, this location pairs well.
The Peace Memorial Park is about 1.3 km on foot and Hiroshima Station about 1.2 km; for arrival, first compare the Kanayamacho tram stop for the final leg. Check-in is self-service with a door code, after 15:00, with check-out before 11:00, so saving Unit 302’s entry information beforehand saves trouble.

One Night vs. Consecutive Nights: the Trade-Off
For just one night, the priorities are getting the door code, assigning sleeping spots, and ordering showers; for two or three nights, folding the sofa bed away each day keeps more shared living space.
This unit suits people who know each other well and are willing to share living space. If every group wants its own bathroom, fixed daily cleaning, or a door to close for rest, comparing several hotels together will make the differences clearer. The value of choosing an apartment is that everyone can gather — while still leaving each other a comfortable distance.

302 and 303: Same Casaen Building, Similar Bed Sets — but Don’t Mix Up the Photos
The advantage of this 42㎡ Unit 302 is separating bedroom and living room, so with two to four guests, luggage, dining and sleep each get space more easily. If six stay at full capacity, the living-room sofa bed must take an extra sleeping spot, and late sleepers and early sleepers need to coordinate routines.
Another Trip listing at the same address (91391478) points to Unit 303, 42㎡, listed with two double beds and one sofa bed, for up to six people. Although 302 and 303 both belong to Casaen and are close in size, they are different unit numbers, so window views, furnishings or furniture counts in Unit 303’s photos must not be taken as promises for 302; when booking, check the unit number and each unit’s own room photos.
If four adults are willing to share beds in pairs, I would first pick the unit number actually available, then check whether the kitchen’s location affects nighttime rest. For two families staying together, you may care more about whether the bedroom door can separate the living room, and about taking turns in the shower; those will matter more than a one-square-metre difference.
Casaen is in central Kanayamacho, where daytime plans centre on trams, shopping streets and restaurants; this kind of one-bedroom apartment suits a small group that does things together. If everyone needs their own quiet sleeping area, I would rather book two separate units than chase the largest single-unit capacity.
Strengths and Trade-Offs to Accept
Strengths I Value
- PARCO is about 390 m away, and dining and shopping in Nagarekawa and Hondori are easy to arrange.
- A 42㎡ one-bedroom plus living room, good for a small group staying together.
- Two beds plus a sofa bed can be assigned according to who you travel with.
Think Through Before Booking
- Six people need to share beds, and the sofa bed takes up the living room.
- Only one bedroom, so private sleeping areas are limited.
- Door-code self check-in and consecutive-night tidying must be arranged yourself.
