Ikawa Ryokan

Hiroshima


On a quiet side street, this is a large family-run hotel-style ryokan with three connected wings. There are Japanese- and Western-style rooms, all very clean, and many have private bathrooms (though there's also a good common bath). Ikawa often caters to tour and school groups. Wi-fi is in the lobby and breakfast is ¥750.
