Hiroshima, located in Japan's Chugoku region, is a tourist destination where you can enjoy history and culture, the scenery of the Seto Inland Sea, islands, nature, and gourmet food all at once. For travelers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Hiroshima is an ideal area not only for visiting the Atomic Bomb Dome, Peace Memorial Park, and Miyajima/Itsukushima Shrine, but also for enjoying a deeper, more intimate accommodation experience. When traveling independently in Hiroshima, many travelers will be looking for unique accommodations with ocean views, hot springs, and private spaces. For those seeking a more flexible experience than a typical hotel, we have compiled a list of 10 glamping facilities and Hiroshima accommodations with ocean views that are easy to incorporate into independent trips and road trips to Hiroshima.

If you want to enjoy ocean views in Hiroshima, accommodations along the Seto Inland Sea coast or around Kamagari Town are recommended. If you want to experience glamping, choose a dome-shaped tent; if you prioritize luxury, choose a private villa, forest resort, or accommodation with a private hot spring bath in your room.
For family trips, we recommend spacious rooms, while for couples, villas with ocean views, saunas, and jacuzzis are ideal. Another important factor is the food. Many glamping facilities in Hiroshima offer BBQ plans featuring seafood from the Seto Inland Sea, local meats, and vegetables.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is a representative tourist spot in Hiroshima, located along the Motoyasu River in the heart of the city, near the hypocenter of the atomic bombing. It has been awarded two stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan and attracts many visitors from both Japan and abroad. It is still carefully preserved as a place to commemorate the victims of the atomic bombing and pray for world peace, and the park was developed with the wish for lasting peace in mind.
Located on the mountainside leading to Senkoji Temple, a famous temple in Onomichi, "Cat's Alley" is a narrow, quiet, cobblestone path about 200 meters long and less than a meter wide. It is known as a hidden gem where you can experience Hiroshima's nostalgic and artistic atmosphere. The alley got its nickname from the round stone figurines called "Fukuishi Neko" (lucky stone cats) drawn by artist Haruji Sonoyama that were placed along the path. Now, it is a somewhat mystical and heartwarming place to stroll, where you can even encounter real cats.
Hiroshima Prefecture, located in Japan's Chugoku region and facing the beautiful Seto Inland Sea, is a must-visit destination after touring the World Heritage sites of Itsukushima Shrine (Miyajima) and the Atomic Bomb Dome. It is also a renowned culinary capital, where you can enjoy a diverse array of exquisite cuisine, from the bounty of the sea to the flavors of the mountain villages.
Hiroshima Prefecture is the "Kingdom of Oysters," boasting the highest production and harvest volume in Japan. Carefully cultivated by organizations such as the Hiroshima Prefecture Aquaculture Fisheries Cooperative, triploid oysters, developed through selective breeding, have recently attracted attention. These oysters do not spawn even in summer and maintain their shape. The most classic way to enjoy them is grilled over charcoal, cooked on the spot. The umami and moisture are concentrated, making them juicy and truly worthy of being called the "milk of the sea."
Unlike the Kansai style, where the batter and ingredients are mixed together before cooking, the Hiroshima style involves spreading a thin layer of batter on a griddle, then layering it with large amounts of cabbage, pork, and yakisoba noodles. Each restaurant and region has its own unique cooking method, ingredients, and sauce flavor, making it a great way to compare different Hiroshima styles.
When planning your first trip to Hiroshima, there are mainly three ways to enjoy it.
The first route combines Hiroshima city center with views of the Seto Inland Sea. The first night is spent in Hiroshima city center, visiting Peace Memorial Park, the Atomic Bomb Dome, and Hondori Shopping Street, while the second night is spent heading towards Etajima, Kure City, and Kamagari Town.
The second route is the Onomichi + Shimanami Kaido route. This route is suitable for those who enjoy road trips or who love the scenery of the islands in the Seto Inland Sea.
The third route focuses on forests and pet-friendly experiences. It's recommended for travelers who want to avoid the beach and enjoy mountain forests, travel with their dogs, and a relaxing stay.
The accommodation options in Hiroshima are far more abundant than many people imagine. Beyond hotels around Hiroshima Station and in the city center, there are glamping facilities and villas perfect for in-depth travel along the Seto Inland Sea coast.
The next time you search for "accommodation in Hiroshima," be sure to include glamping and ocean-view villas in your options.
