We stayed at World Friendship Centre for four nights. We received a warm welcome from Larry and Jo-Ann, the current volunteer directors, and plenty of advice, recommendations and options for what to do with our time in Hiroshima. Our room was clean and bright, with comfortable futon laid out for us. We could have had our laundry washed and dried... More

6 of us (me, my husband, my parents, my brother and his girlfriend) stayed here for two nights. Our hosts Larry and JoAnne could not have been more accommodating, friendly, caring and patient. They really do practice what they preach. The breakfast was delicious and the bedrooms were simple, yet warm and comfortable. Though a little way out of the... More

I stayed here with my son (9 years) and we both loved it. If you are coming to Hiroshima to learn more about the anti-war (peace) movement, the sad story of the bombing of Hiroshima, and similar, this is a really great place to stay, as the people who manage it are committed to education about such issues. We learnt... More

WFC in Hiroshima is a unique experience. The work achieved to help the hibakusha being known and recognized by Barbara and her followers is very touching. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast a delight and a relieve for those Westerners like us who find it difficult to eat the Japanese breakfast. The volunteers are very friendly, and they...

I don't even know how I found WFC (maybe Trip Advisor?). No matter, I am so glad I stayed here. Simple comfortable lodging, with the added bonus the WFC involvement in the peace movement mission. My hosts (Joanne and Larry) were wonderful, answering all of my questions about Japanese culture and the peace movement. The WFC arranged a meeting with... More

This is a lovely Japanese-style house in a quiet neighborhood, yet just a short walk from the Peace Park. The bonus is the center's involvement in the peace movement -- hearing an A-bomb survivor's story as he told it for the first time was an unforgettable experience. The directors make you feel at home -- they even cook a wonderful... More

One of the highlights of my stay in Japan. I stayed for 2 nights, keeping things relaxed. Seemed like others rushed in and out with 1 nighters. The place is spotless, the directors of the WFC were very friendly and super helpful. Spending a morning chatting to a survivor who shared his story and some photos was arranged by the... More

Simple accommodations: futon on the floor, bathroom down the hall, but very well connected to the Peace Park. We had a talk from a A-bomb survivor and a guided tour of Peace Park, plus great conversation with the hosts in this guest house.

We stayed only one night recently, and our hosts were very welcoming and friendly. The tour of the Peace Park and getting to meet an A-bomb survivor were...memorable. Wouldn't hesitate to return, and highly recommended. Accommodation is futon mattresses on tatami mats, with lockable room doors, and breakfast is a communal affair with the half-dozen other guests.
