Natural Hot Spring Hiroshima North Hotel

We stayed for one night during Silver Week.Although the Hotel is located on a hillside, the welcome drink service was excellent.The meal was kaiseki cuisine, and we thoroughly enjoyed the salt-grilled ayu and chestnut rice.We stayed with two Mameshiba dogs, and the Room was spacious and comfortable.We would like to stay again if we have the opportunity.

The water in the Accommodation is natural spring water and it tastes wonderful—I ended up filling a plastic bottle to take some home. The exterior feels a bit dated, but there are intriguing little sections throughout the building (the corner with the tengu mask was especially memorable). The Onsen was also excellent and eased my stiffness from deep within. I only booked breakfast, but the spicy cod roe at the buffet was delicious. It’s a quiet Accommodation and highly recommended for resting both mind and body at a relaxed pace. There’s an okonomiyaki restaurant nearby called Sanpachi (Matsuura), so if you want Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, that’s a good place to go. I walked in without a reservation, and I recommend it for the taste, portion size, and friendly service. It’s nearly 700 km from where I live, but I’d like to visit again to enjoy the water, the Onsen, and the okonomiyaki (ideally every year).
