Interesting historical place to visit. The castle is quite beautiful and the exhibits inside are interesting. There are four or five floors of the castle dedicated to exhibits on different topics. I particularly enjoyed the first floor, which depicts some of the history of the castle, politics surrounding it, and its strategic importance. There's also an area where you can try on a samurai outfit (armor, surcoat, and helmet) and take a picture in front of a screen showing the Hiroshima Castle. Very fun, and included in your entrance fee! We spent about an hour in the castle, and could've probably spent another hour. Walking the grounds of the castle would've been quite nice as well, but unfortunately the day was extremely rainy. Entry to the castle tower was 370 yen per adult.

A beautiful castle (especially externally), with limited historical context being provided and a short experience offered. Not (too) much happening inside, with a couple of floors being exclusively in Japanese (just worth mentioning). Good enough, though you can probably do without in my opinion (in retrospect).

Great park and must see location in downtown Hiroshima. The reconstructed castle, the large shinto shrine, the walk through the trees. Its an amazing experience. Any time of year it is impressive. There are often seasonal festivals and events taking place. There are many places to sit and relax. When the trees bloom it is truly beautiful. In the spring it is refreshing to sit and listen to wind in the trees. It is free to walk around the park. Lots of restrooms, parking on site or nearby. Easy to reach via hiroshima streetcar. Must see if in hiroshima for a visit.

Beautiful reconstructed castle interesting and picturesque any season and at any time of day. Inside the castle museum there's historical photographs and information about the rulers over the castle's long history. There is also samurai armor and sword exhibits A little information about the more recent military past. Unfortunately no photos are allowed in the museum and no reason is given by the staff. As a lot of exhibits only have Japanese explanations, I requested that they allow visitors to use picture-translation apps to help with understanding. That would be helpful for visitors who don't read Japanese well. Another disappointing factor is that there is not 1 woman's story represented in any of the pictures or information as if women did not exist in the 600 years of castle history.

A nice place to have a quiet walk and learn about Hiroshima Castle. The grounds are free to enter and a small fee to enter the castle itself. Lots of artifacts to take a look at once inside and some interactive displays too. At the top there is a nice view of the surrounding city 😊

Beautiful castle, pretty similar to the other ones in Nagoya or Osaka. The visit inside is worth a visit, very interesting about samouraï period. There is a samouraï outfit you can use for free if you want picture with it as well. The walk in the park around is very nice also!

This place was really interesting! Honestly loved the koi dish around the bridge, there were so many of them and they’re huge! It was surprisingly a little bigger than I expected and cool to walk around on a hot days. If you’re in Hiroshima, I would recommend going here after you have visited the peace museum and the atomic bomb museum. Hiroshima is such a unique place and I would like to come back when I get a chance.

The reconstructed Hiroshima Castle is definitely worth visiting while you are stopping by the city. It costs ¥370 to enter and currently serves as a historical museum of Hiroshima before the atomic bomb was dropped. If you make it all the way to the top you get some really nice scenic views of the city. I went right before cherry blossom season and you can see some of the blossoms were just beginning to sprout.

Beautiful castle to visit. The gardens are gorgeous, and there is an amazing spot to catch the sunset. You can visit this place for free

Nice landscape, 1 of the Hiroshima sight seeing, 270yen for adult, Interior exhibition with the history of the castle was amazing and the high volume space of the stairs make this castle be different. (But most area can not take a photo)

The Hiroshima Castle stands with its wooden facade and makes for a great photo. Admission is ¥370. The 5th floor provides a lookout of the surrounding areas and can be pretty breezy. This is great in comparison to the rest of the castle which is weakly air conditioned. The first three floors provide sufficient information on Hiroshima castle through history - how different shoguns were in charge of the castle, and the culture of the townspeople in the different eras. The fourth floor has a special exhibition. Unfortunately, most of the description is in Japanese. Overall, drop by this place to learn about a piece of Hiroshima's history.

Though a re-built castle, the park is not too tired to walk through (the site is a plain). Inside the castle building, it's designed as a museum to demo and introduce information about who, when and how the place evolves. There is a free self-service for wearing helmet and armor like Japanese Samurai (a lighter, smaller helmet for female is available as well). On the top floor, you can overlook the moat and the tragical atomic dome by 360 degree views. It’s near by prefectural office and parking may not convenient during week days. Public rest rooms in the park are available.

A beautiful memorial, dedicated to the children lost in the A-bomb incident. It’s a heartfelt story when seeing and appreciating the messgae it represents.

“If you make thousand origami cranes your wish will come true” - With this belief the children made several cranes post the turmoil and ill effect of atomic bombs. Dedicated to Sadako Sasaki, this peace memorial pays tribute to all the children who suffered post bombing period. In the museum, the cranes created by her and how there size shrank as she started loosing the ability in the end can be viewed. The museum also tells the detail story and how several other children suddenly died years after the event due to leukemia. Do visit the museum first to grasp the mourning tribute which this memorial pay to these innocent children.

An important memorial raised in the memory of the children lost to the bomb. Many origami cranes are donated, and can be viewed at. While there is a very a sad origin, the colorfulness of the origami and the message it represents is very heartfelt.

Small area near the A-Bomb Dome and the Peace Memorial Museum that was erected to honour the children who died and those who survived but severely suffered the consequences of the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima.

The most beautiful site in memory of the children lost to the Bomb. Children can ring the bell with striker designed like an origami crane after the little girl who was making one thousand paper cranes but was killed before she could complete her task on August 6 .

Paper cranes as a reminder for peaceful minds and souls. A history shall never repeat itself again. We all move forward together.

This is a quiet, peaceful garden in the hub of the city. My wife and I spent about 90 minutes exploring the grounds and relaxing. You can buy fish food at the front to feed the groups of koi fish swimming in the large pond. I recommend doing this, as it's fun to see them swim up and eat. It's attached to a museum, which offers a combination ticket, but we didn't visit the museum. You're only about a 3 minute walk from a tram stop.

Beautiful garden, like expected in Japan. Another one to tick off from my list. This tike highlight are the Japanese Koi. You don't see them too often to be honest. Around Tokyo there are not many Koi in the Japanese gardens. The views from the hilly part of garden are good and the lush green colours are beautiful to look at. On the north side of the garden there is a small garden house with many Bonsai. From big to small, flowering and not flowering Bonsai. Yes, I didn't knew either but apparently you have flowering Bonsai as well! Follow your route through the garden and you will find out.

Very nice and beautiful garden. Entrance fees are cheap. Great place to enjoy the beauty of nature. Definitely a must visit place

We came here to get family photos taken. It was really peaceful and inexpensive to get in. There is also koi food for sale for about 100 yen. It is relaxing and has lots of beautiful places to sit and seek peace.

Beautiful, traditional Japanese garden. A little lake, a bunch of small islands and bridges. You can stroll around this garden in about an hour and enjoy the nature, turtles, and koi. There are signs here and there in Japanese and English noting the major points. Entry is 270 yen for adults. You can buy koi feed for 100 yen, and feed the little turtles and the big koi.

Shukkeien Gardens is a fantastic stop for residents and visitors alike at any time of year. Some free visit days such as on Culture Day (Bunka-no-hi) Nov 3rd. If you're looking for a quiet stroll, enjoy see traditional tea house buildings, ornamental stone, wooden and ted bridges, view flowering trees, enjoy surviving A-bomb trees, enjoy tea-ceremony, matcha tea and Japanese sweets or noodles and light meals from the cafe/souvenir shop near the entrance - then you'll love Shukkeien Gardens. This beautiful gardens is in a great position between Hiroshima station and peace park if you want to stroll from your train to the city center. If driving, the adjacent parking 🅿️ doesn't open till 9am like the park itself, but there's nearby coin-parking lots nearby opened earlier and about the same price.

I visited here for the illumination last year. The atmosphere, toning, and everything was very stunning. There were very crowded but still good. I’m not sure if this year has illumination or not. If it has, I will revisit this place.

Very nice garden, well maintained grounds and walking trails. Buy the fish food for 100 yen and feed the Koi. The gift shop has delicious edibles as well and takes to eat at. The gardens are free to all who are 65 years and older. Restrooms are near the entrance and also clean and well maintained.

This was one of my favourite places we visited on our whole trip to Japan. It was the only place were we found variegated cherry blossoms and trees with branches of different coloured blossoms. They were amazing. The calm while walking around the water and feeding the fish was lovely. The bamboo forest on the far side, the bridges over the water, the rows of sakura - everything brought a sense of calm. We were there at the end of the day, so it was pretty quiet and relatively tourist-light, which added to the positive experience. I just wish I had twice the amount of time to enjoy the place.

My first experience with a Japanese pancake. This place was like a food court, with 4 or 5 different vendors offering meals. We just sat down at one randomly. Not sure of all of the seasonings but basic ingredients were a tortilla type shell, lettuce, bean sprouts, noodles, bacon, egg, and cheese. I added shrimp to mine. You sit at a bar and food is prepared on a griddle type surface in front of you. You eat right off this grill surface. The food was awesome. This place had a very street food type feel. Not a restaurant. I would highly recommend. They have typical drinks and some beer. The beer in a frosted mug was awesome after a long day of doing the tourist thing.

Can't go wrong with any spot! They all have their own flair, but are all delicious. Don't let yourself get lost in the endless choices and find a seat wherever feels inviting (and has space!). English menus and vegetarian options abound.

Oh my! This was amazing. To see so many options and have it cooked right in front of you was such an awesome experience. We stopped at the stand right outside the elevators (forgot the name but wanted to support a woman-run business). They were so great and the food was AMAZING! Bring your appetite for sure and go with the spicy okonomiyake sauce 😉

This whole building is full of the same style restaurants, but this place specifically was reported to have the only Michelin star. So go early or expect to wait in line. We went early and had about a 25 minute wait, while other restaurants on the same floor had open seats. The food was great, it's done Hiroshima style which I prefer. We added oysters to ours. It was all very good and worth the minimal wait.

**You must take the elevator to the second floor** Once we got off the elevator there were several places to choose from. The menu is simple which makes it easier to pick from. The service was great and fast. We really like the fact the they leave your food on the grill so it doesn’t get cold and you can cut a piece at a time. Overall it was delicious.

A place with many shops selling Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki. We tried the oyster, beef and cheese since the Hiroshima is known for oyster. The two ladies (sisters?) were friendly and helpful. However, there are a few shops to choose. So got to check which is the one that’s good.

The second floor was sold out apparently so a man came out to let us know. There were some tourists in front that he also told; but I saw some locals go in after us… but whatever it was fine. We went to a stall on the third floor and although things were busy we were able to eat our okonomiyaki. 3rd floor stall is great!

I have no clue where I sat down, so a specific review for the restaurant I have been dining in I don't have. What I do know is that I took a few steps up to the 2nd or 3rd floor and randomly sat down. It was really busy, but since I was a solo traveler, I managed to find a free place to sit quickly. No doubt I took the most prestigious dish on the menu, with loads of seafood and oysters: deluxe seafood. Delicious! No doubts better than the Osaka Okonomiyaki!

One of those recommended tourist places that 100% is a serious must-go. Helps if you speak Japanese or even a little, as they typically love being able to converse with you about your trip and your home country. Don’t fret over wink stall to pick, they’re all excellent

No matter what floor you go to the food is going to be delicious. We went on the 3rd floor and because we went there on two different days we got to try two different restaurants. Very traditional Okonomiyaki and every restaurant makes theirs a little different. The place is quite touristy but that does not mean it’s bad. The food is awesome and you definitely have to try it in Hiroshima. You can really see that the restaurant perfected their art of making the dish. To be honest it was a little difficult to find the place. I recommend looking for the big sign. On one side of it you can see a confusing entrance and probably a lot of people. On the left side of the staircase there is a restaurant but you can go up the stairs to the 3rd or 4th floor. Once you go through the plastic curtain you can find the open restaurants.

Before going up, you will see a poster that will introduce the sellers, from there you can choose who you want to go to. Honestly, when I reached the second floor I got overwhelmed and didn’t know which is which but you know what it doesn’t matter because every stall does it well. The stall I went to was at the last left side. Good experience!

Great experience and place to eat! It was on my to-do list coming to Hiroshima and I wasn't disappointed. Highly recommend everyone go check this area out if given the chance, you won't regret it! Good selection and styles for okonomiyaki, great drink options and awesome staff for all the vendors. Good for a solo adventure or groups of 2-4. It wasn't too busy but I was sure to get there early. You can't pass this up or you'll be missing out for sure!

Absolutely fantastic! We went to 3rd floor on the left, and were met by a master chef: every detail is incredible, cooked to perfection! Spotless utensils like nowhere else, incredible attention to detail, incredible taste!! We considered 5 hours drive just to come here once more. You haven't tasted true okonomiyaki if you didn't come here!

Multiple levels and soooo many shops selling the same exact dish. It's always so crowded. If it's crowded they going one floor up.. it reminds me of Murtabak Maggi from Malaysia. A must try.

I won't recommend a specific shop, the whole concept is non pretentious food, everything is cooked right in front of you, nothing to hide. It's a battle between the shops (in the good way) to be crowned as the best Okonomiyaki in town. Trust your instinct and try as many as you can, it's worth it!

The Cenotaph for the Victims of the Atomic Bomb (formally known as the Memorial Monument for Hiroshima, City of Peace) was built in 1952. Inside lay registries which contain the names of all the known victims of the bombing, regardless of nationality. It is also a monument built with the desire to reconstruct Hiroshima─the city destroyed by the world's first atomic bombing─as a city of peace.

A touching sight - creates a straight line between the cenotaph, the eternal flame and the A-bomb dome. According to the inscription, the flame will go out when wars will cease in the world. It’s really a testimony for generations to come.

Absolutely mesmerizing monument. A humbling feeling comes over you as you realize the devastation that happened here and how it’s people are still so polite to foreigners.

Cenotaph for the Victims of the Atomic Bomb built in 1952.

It's touching. The legend says that the flame will go out when there will be no more wars in the world. The memorial stands as an important testimony for future generations.

An important sight, that creates a single line between cenotaph, peace flame and the a-bomb dome. If you want THE photo, go to the museum second floor and look out to the north when you reach the windowed section.

Structured in the form of burial this memorial is the highlight of the park and symbol that stand tall urging all - This should have never happened and should not ever happen again (Atomic Bombing at Hiroshima)

Cenotaph for the A-bomb Victims The cenotaph consists of a stone chest beneath an arch representing the roof, inspired by the haniwa pottery used to decorate prehistoric tombs. It is also known as the Memorial Monument for Hiroshima, City of Peace, because it was built out of a desire to reconstruct postwar Hiroshima as a city dedicated to peace. Within the chest is a record of the names of all the victims of the atomic bombing, not limited by nationality. As of August 6, 2015, there were 297,684 names on the list. The cenotaph is inscribed with the phrase: “Let all the souls here rest in peace, for we shall not repeat the evil.”

A simple monument where you can pay your tribute, the cenotaph points directly at the eternal flame and the ruined dome. You won’t miss it when you’re visiting the park since it located centrally in accord to other points of interest. Many school students during the weekday.

This place rocks!!! Thanks to all the fantastic reviews, my husband and I ventured out on foot in pouring rain, it was worth every step!! So fun to watch them cook. The process takes about 20 minutes from start to finish. They are so kind, conscientious, and methodical. The okonomiyaki was awesome! So many different layers - things I would never consider putting together. But it’s fantastic! Must try food in Hiroshima.

Great food. Verity of toppings you can choose from. All the ingredients are fresh and your order is prepared before your eyes. We had to wait a little bit to be seated but that's normal for us when we are 2 adults + 2 kids. Be careful with your order as the portions are very big and super filling - we all struggled to eat all we ordered.

The okonomiyaki we had was delicious! And the condiments were excellent as well, the vegan spicy sauce and the okonomiyaki sauce were a perfect pairing. There was a bit of a wait but the service was quick. We requested seats near the counter to see how the food being made and it was amazing. It wasn’t too hot so highly recommend the counter seats.

We had read about this place before going to Hiroshima. After exploring the places around we reached here around 1 pm. There was a 1.5 hour waiting. It was totally worth the wait. The okomikiyaki all vegetarian that we ordered along with the sauces were excellent. The sauces which were vegan too. For vegetarians they clean and heat steam the hot plates before serving and preparing. Must try if you are in Hiroshima.

Dropped by this okonomiyaki joint just because few blogs said it was a must try. We got to this place a day before the start of golden week and we were able to find a place easily. The staff were super friendly and smiley. They had English menus and vegan okonomiyaki but the selection looked rather boring/uninteresting than the regular okonomiyaki. We went for the ones topped with garlic chips with negi and other one with kimchi. We loved the garlic chips one. They have unique toppings and lot of room for customisation. The start of golden week and this place had a huge waiting line so we were lucky to experience this place before the crowd came in! The blogs didn’t lie and it definitely a must try when in Hiroshima!

Waited an hour from starting in line to getting my food. The food itself had no problems but waiting an hour in line for it is just not worth it. The portions were really big and I was stuffed finishing it all. They have an English menu and it’s pretty close to the peace memorial park. I would only recommend coming if there is no line.

One of our favourite place of okonomiyaki. The amount of sauce is just right and very tasty, we didnt bother with any additional condiments (like the chilli flakes). We were there an hour before last order timing and waited 30 minutes.

During my visit on a Monday lunchtime, the waiting time at this restaurant was approximately 30 minutes. However, after being seated, we encountered an additional 20-minute wait for the food to arrive at our table. Despite this delay, one enjoyable aspect of the experience was the opportunity to watch the chefs skillfully prepare the food. While the waiting time was a bit longer than expected, the engaging spectacle of the chefs in action added an element of entertainment to our dining experience. Observing their culinary expertise and precision was a fascinating sight and provided some insight into the craftsmanship behind each dish.

Very delicious food and friendly service. English menu available. Vegan, vegetarian and no pork (Muslim friendly) menu with several options.

Really nice place to have a meal after visiting the peace memorial museum. They are very traveller friendly as well. You can ask for and English menu if you like. I highly recommend getting the original okonomiyaki and also the hiroshima oysters cooked in butter. Those were freaking excellent.

We really wanted to go to this place because we read online it was the best place to get a Okonomiyaki Hiroshima style. We waited around 1 hour to get a table but it was absolutely worth it. The Okonomiyaki was the best I have eaten in my life. Big portion and delicious. If you have the chance to sit next to the chefs, you can enjoy the show preparing them as well. To sum up, if you are in Hiroshima, this is a must go place.

Nagataya restaurant in Hiroshima, while known for Okonomiyaki, can test your patience with long wait times. Unfortunately, even after the wait, the Okonomiyaki might not meet expectations. Despite its reputation, some diners find it falls short of being truly special. It's advisable to explore other local Okonomiyaki options for a potentially more satisfying experience. Anyway the staff was always kind and polite as always!

Very happy to have found this place. It has a hole in the wall feel in a good way, not big but had both table and counter seating and also does delivery. Many okonomiyaki are cooked at once and you can customize with half size, different versions with and without noodles and toppings. Kind staff that watches out for potential allergies. English menu available. Door stays open for ventilation.

Honestly. We had the best time here. We sat right at the bar/grill. The staff was very interactive and fun. The server was especially great. Food was excellent. It’s the type of place I wish we could be regulars at, however being from Canada it’s just not possible. This is my way of thanking them for a great night.

Probably one of the best food choices we made in Japan. We did have to wait a bit but it was more than worth it ! The food was AMAZING.. Don't think I ever ate that much and still wanted more. Also the place itself is very cool. There are writings , drawings and signatures on every wall and the ceiling. Even one of my favourite bands visited the place (bump of chicken).. Everyone kept saying we had to eat okonomiyaki in Hiroshima and I can't express how happy I am we did. Thanks to everyone who recommended it. Also thanks to the staff , and the chef, who is a genius !

We were here for dinner. We ordered 3 okonomiyaki with a side dish. The dishes were marvelous. But the waitress was so rude! When we were having troubles with the menu, she was just standing there looking ANNOYED! Looks like she didnt even wanna take our order. When we asked her to turn on the stove, she ROLLED HER EYES, turned it on, and walked away without saying a single thing. Nevertheless, the other waiters were nice and the place was cozy.

We stopped by for dinner due to the very good reviews. The okonomiyaki was very tasty and we also liked the interiors very much - it gives Hassei a relaxed, informal vibe to enjoy a pleasant dinner. We had to wait a few minutes to get a table but eventually could even sit at the counter which is recommended to see the preparation of okonomiyaki directly.

First time having okonomiyaki an it was great. Its worth asking for a seat at the counter so you can watch how they make it. Its better to reserve ahead because the place is quit busy. (I had to come back 1h15’ later because it was full). Great atmosphere, friendly staff.

Were I lucky to just drop in and get seated on the spot - Check! Was the food great - Check again! Was the experience worth it - 3 strikes! On the more interesting parts, the hassei special with fresh onions on top was spot on & very well-balanced, whereas the beef ribs were to die for (juicy medium-rare)! Grabbing a bite while semi-watching a baseball game and semi-laughing on a couple of funny dialogs on the counter was a pure win! Great atmosphere and an hour well-spent! 2100¥ was a bargain, just visit the place - it’s an amazing first experience in Hiroshima!

Very nice okonomiyaki place. Probably the best I've visited so far.

Great little place with amazing giant okonomiyaki. The staff was super friendly and this is one of the few places that had a vegetarian option for my wife. They were also kind enough (unprompted) to use separate utensils for her preparation. A great experience and good Hiroshima style okonomiyaki

This is such a nice hole in the wall! It’s very popular and for good reason. My Okonomiyaki was made right in front of me by amazingly kind staff. There is an english menu with veggie options, such a savior for a vegetarian who doesn’t speak Japanese. The food was delicious with the service/atmosphere to match. Can’t recommend Hassei enough!

Delicious okonimiyaki cooked right in front of you! Small shop so you may have to wait. Benefits of seating grill side - when your food finishes, it stays on the hot plate while you eat! An English menu is available. Could not finish the full size okonimiyaki, neither did the 2 big Italian dudes sitting beside me.

Amazing Okonomiyaki, I recommend it for anyone visiting Hiroshima to go here and enjoy this great dish. English menu available. I recommend getting a reservation, but if you are lucky, like us, there is still a spot after a short wait.

I wanted to have a quick combined lunch/dinner, but quick is not possible here. There’s always a line but I came at 3:30, waited for like 5-10 min. I ordered the ‘All in’ for myself..as I was famished and the waitress told me “Oki desu yo” I should’ve listened 🤣 Anyway I waited for about 20 min so they can cook my order.. it takes time to make 😅 There was very little flavour, I had to add a lot if sauces and mayo but I enjoyed it still. Personally Pork+Egg+Shrimp+Squid is the best combination and don’t get udon, soba pairs well with Okonomiyaki! Hope to come here again once the station construction is completed, so far I’ve been seeing the construction for 2 whole years along with Miyajima Torii. Finish itt!!

Good and filling but it didn’t have that much flavor. I added all the sauces and spices and that was fine but I don’t see what the big deal is. There are a ton of spots to try on this row and maybe I’ll try another cuz this place is just ok. Great service and all that tho

Just ok. The okonomiyaki felt dry and the flavor was regular. The location is quite convenient.

There are counter and tables. Usually always people are making cues to enter the restaurant. 800JPY for a basic one with no topping. Attendants are relatively used to non-Japanese speakers so do not be afraid and just line up there. Personally I liked this Okonomiyaki best in Hiroshima.

When I come to Hiroshima, I always use this store. Because I like it, and to watch that made it.I recommend! Thank you Reichan!

Fun experience at a local okonomiyaki restaurant. You can sit at a table or at the counter— if at the counter, you can watch them make okonomiyaki right in front of you! English menus available, and the staff were very helpful when ordering. The food was good, though it did need some sauce and other toppings to really bring up the flavor. Sidenote: They accept credit cards at the register.

Hiroshima okonomiyaki is world famous. I took soba noodles (udon noodles is another choise) and spicy kimuchi. So good! I highly recommend.

Probably the best Italian Pizza in Japan. The pizzas are handmade in a wood oven. The tomato sauce and the cheese are awesome. Also the wine and the desserts are great.

The pizza here is delicious! We ordered three pizza’s and all of them were great. The owners are so sweet & so proud. Make sure you try the Japanese wine.

I tried Pizza quattro formaggi and it was super delicious! Restaurant is vegetarian and vegan friendly. Must visit!

Delightful pizza restaurant just opposite the Peace Park (the clue is in the name) run by a charming husband and wife team. We had lovely pizzas and a particularly beautiful salad to share. With two beers and two ice creams for desert it all came to just under ¥6,000. Great Italian pop music on the radio. Recommended!

Amazing pizza and delicious dessert! The pizza dough is cook in a stone pizza oven fresh after ordering and was perfectly cooked. The owners are very kind and happy to try chatting in English. We were asked to write in an atlas the city we've come from which was also fun! Highly recommend this place, best pizza I've had in Japan!

Very good pizza place. As an Italian I can highly recommend this place. They have a real pizza oven and the crust is on point. The vegan cake we chose for dessert was tasty too. The service was very friendly. I would definitely go back.

This was a great restaurant! The pizza was delicious and the staff were so nice!

AMAZING place. Pizza was delicious, made in a wood oven. It tasted great and it did look like an Italian one. Wines were great too, we've tried red, rose and white and each of them was great. The service was also up to the task.

Always excellent. Family favorite. Great food great service. The staff have always been wonderful with my kids - they have grown up in Roopali's vegetarian curries :) My favorite is always the dal makhani and dry veg curry. Can't recommend it highly enough for people looking for Indian food in Hiroshima.

If you're in search of an authentic Indian dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute MUST-visit. The portions are quite generous, and every dish is bursting with delicious flavors. As someone who is passionate about Indian food and even traveled to India for a month, I can confidently say that this restaurant truly captures the essence of Indian cuisine. What truly impressed me was the presence of many Indian people enjoying their meals at the restaurant. This is a testament to the quality and authenticity of the dishes. It was truly reminiscent of the incredible meals I had in India, and I never expected to find such an authentic taste here in Japan. As someone who frequently travels and tries different cuisines, this Indian restaurant stands out as one of the best non-Japanese meals I had during my trip. If you're a fan of Indian cuisine or simply looking to explore new flavors, I highly recommend paying this restaurant a visit. You won't be disappointed!🥲

Staff is very friendly and food was prepared fresh. Will definitely return!!!! #ohdisisgreat

Excellent food, very nice staff, and fun interior decor. The staff spoke English and Japanese, and the menu is available in English as well. They have a variety of spice levels and all different kinds of meals available, and they have a discounted lunch set which is super good deal. I got a butter chicken masala dinner set for ¥1950, which comes with curry (of your choice), salad, naan bread, rice, tandoori chicken, rice cracker and drink. The naan and tandoori chicken were particularly good, but the whole thing was delicious. HUGE portions too; I wasn’t able to finish mine so it might even be enough for 2 people to split if they have smaller stomachs. I got the “normal” spice level, which I think is aimed at Japanese spice tolerance as it was just a little spicy (maybe American equivalent of “mild” haha). It’s very close to the train station, so if you have time to stop by I highly recommend it!

We were in hiroshima for 3 days. Day 1 we visited Roopali, absolutely loved the food and the Garlic naan was amazing. The depth of flavour in the curries I've never experienced before and the service as always in Japan was brilliant. I would highly recommend a garlic naan to yourself and its soo good it's hard to share and definitely wash it all down with some local Indian beer. The day we left hiroshima on day 3, we had to go back to fuel us up on the way to Osaka. The standard didn't drop and the consistency was perfect. Thank you from 2 satisfied Aussies making their way across Japan 🙏 ❤️

An Indian curry restaurant next to a train station in Japan - not your typical dinner choice. The food here was great. Flavours were on point. Highly recommend the dinner set as the contents were great, especially the chicken. Staff were friendly and spoke English. A tad pricier than what I'd pay in Melbourne, but a great meal regardless.

Great vegetable Indian curry! Creamy and lots of flavors. Lunch set serving size is large. Went there lunch time on a Friday and there where plenty of seats. Host speak English.

Great Change of pace from Japanese food if you’re here for a few days. I had one of the combo plates with two types of grilled chicken, and a great eggplant potato curry. The sauce was great to dip the fresh naan into! Close to the main terminal if you’re looking for something different!
