This page narrows down rooms with a private open-air bath in Hiroshima to 5 inns: two in Tomonoura in Fukuyama, two in Miyahama Onsen across from Miyajima, and one on Miyajima itself. It lines up the price guide, the type of room bath, conditions for children and parking. For 2 guests in one room with dinner and breakfast, the guide per person is from ¥18,500 at Miyahama Onsen Ocean (buffet) and from ¥30,800 at Migiwatei Ochikochi among the kaiseki-style inns (as seen on the official booking screens on October 27, 2026).

1. Price, room bath, guests and parking at the 5 inns in one table
Prices are per person for a plan with dinner and breakfast, for 2 guests in one room, as seen on each inn’s official booking screen on October 27, 2026. Kinsuikan shows a price only when you enter a date, so the example is a stay on Wednesday, December 2, 2026. They are the lowest prices seen that day and not necessarily the cheapest. They change with the date and plan.
| Inn | Place | Guide per person, with 2 meals | Room bath | Guests and children | Parking |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Price sources: the booking screens of Ofutei, Migiwatei Ochikochi, IBUKU, Miyahama Onsen Ocean and Kinsuikan (Japanese). Hiroshima Prefecture’s accommodation tax of ¥200 per person per night is charged separately when the room-only price is ¥6,000 or more.
2. Things to know when choosing a room with an open-air bath in Hiroshima
Even for a room bath, how the water is used differs by inn. Livemax Resort Miyahama Onsen Ocean describes its room water as “added water, heated, and circulated and filtered”, and Migiwatei Ochikochi also answers in its official FAQ that its baths use added water, heating and circulation filtering. IBUKU says it pipes Miyahama Onsen source water to the villa rooms. Kinsuikan’s semi-open-air bath is an artificial hot spring (Komyoseki).
The two Tomonoura inns are about 1 hour 50 minutes by car from Hiroshima Station and about 25 minutes from Fukuyama Station. A free shuttle bus, run jointly by Ofutei, Migiwatei Ochikochi and others, leaves from the south exit of Fukuyama Station, and you need to reserve by the day before. If you come by Shinkansen, you can reach the inns from Fukuyama Station without a car.
Miyahama Onsen, across from Miyajima, is about 40 minutes by car from central Hiroshima and about 10 minutes from both the Ono IC and the Otake IC on the Sanyo Expressway, according to IBUKU. Kinsuikan, on Miyajima itself, takes a 10-minute ferry from Miyajimaguchi, and the last ferry leaves Miyajimaguchi at 22:42.
Hiroshima Prefecture started an accommodation tax on April 1, 2026. When the room-only price is ¥6,000 or more, ¥200 per person per night is charged. Meals and consumption tax are not included in the tax calculation.
3. Ofutei
Hotel Ofutei faces the sea at Tomonoura, and its room open-air baths come in two types. Every room in “Suihanro” on the 3rd floor has an open-air bath on a wooden deck, open 24 hours. Room 301 has a hinoki cypress bath and is about 102 sqm (2–6 guests), room 302 has a ceramic bath and is about 52 sqm (2 guests), and room 303 has a ceramic bath and is about 53 sqm (2–4 guests). The other type is the “Ocean Executive Room Yoi / Shiro with semi-open-air bath,” 2 rooms on the 5th floor that opened in February 2026, at 57–58 sqm with twin beds, a Japanese-style room and a living room. The semi-open-air bath has windows that open and blinds.
On the booking screen, for 2 guests in one room with dinner and breakfast, the per-person guide is from ¥39,600 for the ceramic bath in Suihanro, from ¥44,000 for the semi-open-air Ocean Executive Room and from ¥49,500 for the roughly 102 sqm room with the hinoki bath. Suihanro and the Executive Room can use the Premium Lounge and allow check-in at 14:00 and check-out at 11:00. Suihanro rooms have beds, and all rooms are non-smoking.
By car, you can use the inn’s free flat car park. From the south exit of Fukuyama Station, a free shuttle bus of about 30 minutes is available if you reserve by the day before. The open-air bath in the 3rd-floor large bath inside the building is closed for renovation from October 1, 2026 to the end of December (planned), and the rooftop open-air bath is planned to stay open during the works. This does not affect the room baths. Sources: the official Suihanro room page, Ocean Executive Room page and access page (Japanese).

There is also a “bath tour service” that lets you use the baths of the sister hotels Ofutei and Keishokan Sazanami-tei.
There is no car park on the grounds, so drivers park at the car park of the sister hotel Ofutei and take a shuttle of about 3 minutes from there. The official site asks you to enter Ofutei’s address or phone number in the car navigation, not Migiwatei’s. From Fukuyama Station, you can use the shuttle bus run jointly with Ofutei (reservation required). Sources: the official rooms, FAQ, hot spring and access pages (Japanese).

7. Miyajima Shioyu Onsen Kinsuikan
Kinsuikan is an inn on Miyajima with 3 suites with a semi-open-air bath (Ka, Ai and Sai) that opened in 2025. The 78 sqm rooms have a semi-open-air bath, twin beds, a living room and an 8-mat Japanese-style room, and sleep 2–5 guests (including elementary school children and infants). Dinner is in the room and breakfast in the dining hall. The rooms do not see the sea or the Great Torii, and the water in the semi-open-air bath is Komyoseki (an artificial hot spring).
Separately, there are only 6 special rooms with a semi-open-air bath called “Otona no Kyujitsu,” which cannot be entered by elementary school children or under and allow check-in from 14:00. Prices appear when you enter a date on the official booking screen (Japanese). For a stay on Wednesday, December 2, 2026 for 2 adults, the semi-open-air suite plan with dinner and breakfast was from ¥169,800 for 2 guests (from ¥84,900 per person). A bathing tax of ¥150 is charged separately (exempt for elementary school children and under).
Roads on the island are narrow and sightseeing facilities have no car parks, so drivers basically park at a paid car park at Miyajimaguchi and cross by ferry. There is also a car park next to the inn with limited spaces, and you need to phone before boarding the ferry to use it. From the ferry terminal on the island, the inn provides a car pick-up. The last ferry leaves Miyajimaguchi at 22:42, and if you miss it you cannot stay. Sources: the official semi-open-air suite, rooms, FAQ and access pages (Japanese).

8. How to choose by purpose
The lowest per-person guide is Miyahama Onsen Ocean with a buffet dinner and breakfast (from ¥18,500). Among kaiseki inns, Migiwatei Ochikochi (from ¥30,800) is lower, with a 39 sqm Standard Twin, but children of elementary school age and under cannot stay.
Conditions for children differ. Migiwatei Ochikochi does not accept elementary school age or under and IBUKU does not accept under 13, while Kinsuikan’s suites take 2–5 guests including elementary school children and infants. Ofutei describes Suihanro 303 as a room that families can also use.
If you drive and want less luggage handling, Ofutei, IBUKU and Miyahama Onsen Ocean, where you can use the inn’s car park, are easiest.
Common questions
Can I use the room open-air bath 24 hours?
Ofutei’s official site says Suihanro can be used at any time, 24 hours. Migiwatei Ochikochi also says the open-air baths of the Upper Suite and Suite can be enjoyed 24 hours.
Can I stay with children?
It differs by inn. Migiwatei Ochikochi does not accept elementary school age or under, and IBUKU does not accept under 13. At Kinsuikan, the suites take 2–5 guests including elementary school children and infants, and “Otona no Kyujitsu” cannot be entered by elementary school children or under.
Can I get from Fukuyama Station to the inn without a car?
Ofutei and Migiwatei Ochikochi run a free shuttle bus from the south exit of Fukuyama Station, and you need to reserve by the day before.
