2. What to know in Hiroshima
Oyster huts in Hiroshima fall into two types: “all-you-can-eat” places where you eat for a set time, and places where you order by the plate or by weight. Both charge a charcoal fee per table. According to the oyster hut feature on the Hiroshima Prefecture tourism site “Dive! Hiroshima” (Japanese), all-you-can-eat places often take orders in 1 kg units, which is about 10 to 12 oysters in the shell. The charcoal fee is a few hundred yen, and many places let you bring your own seasoning.
The season differs by place. Ujina and Kusatsu are seasonal, from autumn to spring. Shimada Suisan, Yakigaki no Hayashi and Ryumeimaru are open all year. Even at seasonal huts, this season’s oysters are still small right after opening. Ujina says that outside the harvest period it mainly serves oysters frozen from the previous season. Kusatsu also started last season with frozen oysters until the new season’s oysters grew.
Oysters can be eaten raw in summer because of “Kaki Komachi”, a variety developed by Hiroshima Prefecture. According to Ryumeimaru, Kaki Komachi does not spawn, so the meat does not thin out, and it grows to about 1.5 times the size of a normal oyster. Ujina also says Kaki Komachi is harvested all year, so fresh oysters can be grilled all year.
You can reach Ujina and Miyajima without a car. Ujina is a 1-minute walk from Hiroshima Port (Ujina) stop on the Hiroden Ujina Line, and Yakigaki no Hayashi is about an 8-minute walk from Miyajima Port. Shimada Suisan in Miyajimaguchi is about a 10-minute walk from the Miyajima ferry pier. Shells can pop and charcoal smoke clings to clothes, so Shimada Suisan and the tourism feature both ask visitors to wear clothes that can get dirty.
3. Kaki-goya Ujina: opened October 10 this season, online booking from 60 days ahead
The 2026–27 winter season of “Milky Tetsuo’s Kaki-goya Ujina” began on Saturday, October 10. It is open only from mid-October to early May each year, and from mid-May to early October it runs as “Ujina BBQ Garden”. It is inside Hiroshima Minato Park, next to Hiroshima Port.
You buy oysters and seafood at the counter and grill them yourself, beach-hut style. The charcoal fee is ¥600 per table. Oysters in the shell are ¥1,320 per plate, and “Kaki Komachi”, served raw all year, is ¥2,200. Oyster rice is ¥500, oyster soup ¥330, and fried oysters are ¥770 for 5 or ¥880 for 6. Fresh Hiroshima oysters harvested this season are served only during the harvest period; at the start of the season and after harvest ends, mainly frozen oysters are served.
Booking is through Gurunavi online reservation for 1 to 20 people, from 60 days before the day of use until 19:00 on the day before.

8. How to choose: by season and how you travel
For grilled oysters in autumn, Ujina is already open, and Shimada Suisan, Yakigaki no Hayashi and Ryumeimaru are open all year. Shimada Suisan’s all-you-can-eat runs from the end of October. Kusatsu plans to open in mid-November, so wait for that and check its notices for the date.
If you go by train, choose Ujina, 1 minute from Hiroshima Port (Ujina) stop, or Yakigaki no Hayashi on Miyajima, reached by ferry. If you want to fix a day and reserve seats, Ujina, which has online booking, is the fit. Shimada Suisan and Yakigaki no Hayashi cannot be reserved, so plan to arrive early.
To eat Hiroshima oysters at home, there are also hometown-tax return gifts. Some places, such as Shimada Suisan, sell oysters in the shell or shucked at a direct-sales counter.
On days you cannot visit a shop, you can also look for Hiroshima oysters on Rakuten Ichiba. These are not necessarily products of the shops in this article, and prices and shipping differ by seller. Search for Hiroshima oysters on Rakuten Ichiba (ad)
