Recommended Points
Grand Prince Hotel Hiroshima is located in a perfect location facing the Seto Inland Sea National Park, and seems to be surrounded by the sea and sky. The panoramic view of the Seto Inland Sea can be enjoyed from the restaurant on the upper floors. Both daytime and nighttime views are spectacular, with the sea and starry sky at night and the sunrise in the morning. The World Heritage Site “Aki no Miyajima” can be reached in about 26 minutes by high-speed boat from the pier in front of the hotel. It is a very convenient location as a base for your sightseeing in the Seto Inland Sea.
There is also a hot spring bath you can look forward to on your trip to Japan, the Hiroshima Onsen “Seto-no-yu” with an open-air bath with a view of the Seto Inland Sea, an indoor bath, a blower bath, and a sauna.
During the summer months, a swimming pool with a view of the Seto Inland Sea is also available.
The hotel staff’s hospitality and heartwarming smiles are also impressive.
Breakfast is a buffet in the Sky Lounge. Breakfast with the best view will surely make your day wonderful. The local menu including the popular “Oyster Curry”, Hiroshima local food “Gansu”, and savory dishes using Hiroshima’s specialty “Hiroshima rape” such as “Hiroshima rape pickles”, “Angei-murasaki”, and “Naikou” are very popular.
Points to note
Although this is true for hotels in Sochi, inspections of electrical equipment and hot spring facilities are conducted on a hostile basis. Be aware of old days and dates when the hot springs are not available.
Also, this hotel is located a little far from the city center. If you want to enjoy the city of Hiroshima until late at night, we recommend that you look for a hotel near Hiroshima Station.

Hiroshima has many World Heritage sites. You may feel a sense of gloom when you visit spots related to the war, such as the Atomic Bomb Dome, as they make you think a lot.
