La proprietà — Tsuruya Annex
Tsuruya Annex offers a traditional ryokan experience on a budget, with tatami rooms and communal baths just a short walk from Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park. The lobby feels like a calm, wood-scented retreat from the city, staffed by kimono-clad attendants who serve green tea on arrival. It suits travellers who value authentic Japanese lodging and a quiet, local atmosphere over luxury or nightlife.
Cronache di Hiroshima
Hiroshima began as a feudal castle town in the late 16th century, but its modern identity was forged by the atomic bombing of 6 August 1945, which levelled the city centre. Post-war reconstruction transformed it into a symbol of peace, with the Peace Memorial Park and Museum at its heart, alongside restored sites like Hiroshima Castle and Shukkeien Garden. Today, Hiroshima blends its tragic past with a vibrant food culture—famous for okonomiyaki—and a growing reputation for sustainable urban planning. The city's architecture ranges from traditional shrines to sleek modern buildings, reflecting a resilient, forward-looking spirit.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Hiroshima →I migliori mesi

Peak / Festival Surge
Early August (6th: Peace Memorial Ceremony) and late March–early April (cherry blossom season). Prices at Tsuruya Annex can double during these periods; book four months ahead. The crowds centre on Peace Park and the riverside blossoms.
Stagione di spalla
February–March: cold but not freezing, with low hotel rates and no queues at major sites. November: still pleasant, discounts before the Christmas period. Expect 20–30% off peak prices.
Meteo e imballaggio
July is Hiroshima's rainy season, with hot, humid days (30°C+) and sudden downpours. Pack a compact travel umbrella and a lightweight, breathable shirt that dries quickly.
Briefing della città — Hiroshima

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Tsuruya Annex, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on floors 5–8, ideally facing the inner courtyard. These are above most street-level noise and away from the front entrance, giving a quieter stay.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1–3, especially those at the front of the building near the street or directly above the lobby and entranceway, as foot traffic and street sounds are constant.
Best views
Upper-floor rooms on the south or east side of the building offer the best chance of a view over the city rooftops towards the hills, rather than looking directly into neighbouring buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 5–8 are consistently the quietest, furthest from the ground-floor activity and lift noise.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a main road in central Hiroshima, so front-facing rooms (especially floors 1–3) will get traffic noise from early morning until late evening. There is also occasional lift noise from the single lift shaft on lower floors.
Insider tips
1. If you arrive by car, note that the hotel's parking is limited and narrow – arrive early to secure a spot, or use a nearby coin park. 2. Request a room on the inner courtyard side at booking – it makes a real difference to sleep quality in this part of the city.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principali attrazioni a Hiroshima
💡 Visit in late afternoon for the best light on the dome's steel frame. There's no need to queue—just stand by the riverside for the iconic shot.
💡 Go early to avoid crowds. The best views of the A-Bomb Dome are from the bridge at the park's northern edge, especially just after sunrise.
💡 Bring a paper crane to add to the displays—there's a small donation box for materials, or fold your own beforehand. Quietest around 8am.
💡 The free outer grounds have a nice view of the castle from the south bridge. The modern art museum inside the park is also free on the first Sunday of the month.
💡 Combine with a tea ceremony in the garden's tea house—costs an extra 500 yen but includes matcha and a sweet. Tickets are sold at the gate.
