Guest Houses in Kure

We had a really good time at the stay! The owner ist really kind and the cats are absolutely amazing. Perfect for cat lovers.

After arriving in Fukuoka, I decided to go to Setouchi Life to get some rest — and what a wonderful place I found! I was so happy to arrive from France and spend a few days here before starting my retreat in Japan. Lily, Mamie and Hachan are adorable, and it really feels like being part of a family. Perfect for a truly immersive experience of Japanese life.

Facilities were first class and for the little amount we paid, better than a lot of more expensive places we’ve stayed at.

Uncomplicated and easy stay over in good location

We had a fabulous stay. Beautiful house, well equipped. Excellent location, minutes from the ferry port. Very friendly hosts, we were invited to take part in the traditional Japanese end of the year celebration. Lovely community feel.

The host was very helpful. The place was newly renovated and very clean and cosy. It was located near the port wich makes it easy to access. We also had very delicious dinner made from local fish!

Very clean near to Hiroshima station, staff very helpful.

One of the highlights of our visit to Japan. Beautiful property with a lovely courtyard/garden. Quiet street relative to the main touristy stretch, though close and easy to find. The best part was the owner/host, a wonderful and kind person. He made our stay very comfortable, gave restaurant recommendations, and provided a delicious breakfast. He also showed genuine interest in us and where we were from; our interactions were cheerful.

88House is filled with authentic charm and a homely warm aura. From the moment you open the front door you are greeted with a beautiful garden and open green spaces to explore within the grounds. We were very late to check in (about 11pm), and the owner Kengo-san waited up for us in order to show us to our room and give us a clear explanation about how to use the facilities. We sincerely appreciated that. Our room was spacious, clean, and very calming to rest in. Heating AC in the room was a godsend for the cold nights, and the showers had hot water and a modern WC with bidet. There is also a shared kitchen to prepare your food and throw trash. There’s a lot to appreciate and admire in 88House Hiroshima. From the beautiful Yukimi shoji doors in the rooms that lets in the natural daylight whilst still retaining privacy, to the beautiful wooden beams and rafters and wooden light fixtures. A lot of interesting books and ornaments adorn the walkway, and there’s even a small section of kids toys to entertain the little ones. Kengo-san has made sure to leave lots of flyers and pamphlets of events/exhibtions, and a variety of things to do and explore in the area, so check the table near the entrance genkan. There is a lot of greenery around you and a small stream outside the property, as well as Kengo-san’s sweet potato fields. Kengo-san is very friendly and my partner and I are very thankful to have had a chance to stay in his home. We highly highly recommend staying here if you are in Hiroshima and want a slice of Japanese home living away from the city. We hope to come back and stay again, and I hope Kengo-san can bring us for that hike up the mountain behind his house to see the Kannon statue!
