Hiroshima Kure City's New Summer Night Option! Kure Hankyu Hotel BBQ Asian Cuisine Beer Garden

If you're planning a trip to Hiroshima, Kure, or the Seto Inland Sea in the summer and are looking for a place where you can easily have dinner, enjoy some beer, and not feel rushed,Kure Hankyu Hotel (Hankyu Hotel)6th-floor outdoor terraceBBQ & Asian Food Beer GardenIt's worth noting. It's open from June 5th to September 26th, 2026, and features unlimited time, all-you-can-eat BBQ, and all-you-can-drink beverages. It's very friendly for travelers who want to relax for a night.

Kure is not far from Hiroshima city center and boasts the Yamato Museum, Maritime Self-Defense Force related attractions, and harbor scenery. You can spend your day viewing ships and visiting museums, then return to your hotel terrace next to JR Kure Station for a BBQ in the evening. The flow is quite smooth. This beer garden not only offers barbecue and beer but also incorporates Asian dishes like braised pork rice, pad krapow, bibimbap, and mala noodles. For Taiwanese travelers, it provides a familiar yet fun summer night dining experience.

The outdoor terrace next to JR Wu Station is convenient for travel arrangements.

Kure Hankyu Hotel is located at 1-1-1 Chuo, Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture, right at the entrance of Kure City. For independent travelers, the biggest advantage is the straightforward transportation. During the day, you can take the JR from Hiroshima City to Kure City, visit the Yamato Museum, Tetsu Kugekan (Iron Whale Hall), and take a walk around the port, then enjoy dinner on the outdoor terrace on the 6th floor of the hotel in the evening.

When traveling in Japan during the summer, you often get very tired during the day, and queuing for a restaurant for dinner can be a bit difficult. The advantage of hotel beer gardens like this is that seating, food, and drinks are all taken care of in one place, making them suitable for friends, family, or multi-generational groups. If you are staying near Kure City, you can even consider it as the perfect end to a day's itinerary.

All-you-can-eat and drink with unlimited time, satisfying both BBQ and Asian cuisine at once

This event's main highlight is all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink with no time limit. The BBQ includes 8 types of meat such as beef sirloin, pork belly, marinated pork neck, and beef offal, as well as seafood, 3 types of grilled chicken skewers, and vegetables. For those who want to eat a lot of meat, the portions and choices are very suitable for a dinner centerpiece.

Even more interesting is the Asian food section. The menu includes Taiwanese braised pork rice, Thai basil stir-fry rice, Korean bibimbap, and Chinese spicy mixed noodles, as well as common beer garden snacks like fried chicken and french fries. For Taiwanese travelers, finding braised pork rice at a Japanese hotel beer garden can feel a little familiar and offers a great opportunity to compare "the Japanese version of Taiwanese flavors" with friends.

Weekday-exclusive dishes and the Super Spicy Zone, perfect for those who enjoy intense flavors.

From Monday to Thursday, special dishes will also be launched, such as Korean red dragon pork belly, Indian Biriyani, Chinese dumplings, Vietnamese cold pho, and Thai mango sticky rice dessert. The weekday-limited offerings lean more towards Asian street food and summer appetizer flavors. If your schedule is flexible, visiting on a weekday will offer more surprises than on the weekend.

There's also a super spicy zone where you can add ingredients like habanero peppers and cayenne peppers. Those who like spicy food can challenge themselves, but eating too spicy food during a trip can easily affect the next day's itinerary, so it's recommended to eat within your limits. If you have someone in your travel group who doesn't eat spicy food, the BBQ, fried food, and regular drinks are still sufficient; it won't be difficult to choose meals just because the theme leans towards Asian cuisine.

Who is suitable to go? What's the best itinerary?

This beer garden is ideal for those who have already planned a day trip to Kure or are staying in Hiroshima but want to try a different dining spot in the evening. If you visit the Yamato Museum, Kure Port, or Mt. Gamo Observatory during the day, it's convenient to have BBQ near Kure Station for dinner without having to travel to a distant restaurant.

If traveling with family, pay attention to the Sunday-only Family Discount. If traveling with elders, having no time restrictions will be less stressful. Those looking to save money can consider advance tickets or weekday relaxed drinking accommodation plans. If you want to dine more luxuriously, the Premium BBQ plan with added Saga beef and seafood will enhance the travel experience.

If you're heading to Hiroshima in the summer, consider including Kure City in your dinner plans.

Common Hiroshima travel routes are mostly focused on Hiroshima city center, Miyajima, and Onomichi. However, Kure City is actually very suitable for a half-day to a full-day trip. It offers harbor scenery, naval history, art museums, and the open feeling of the Seto Inland Sea, with a different atmosphere from downtown Hiroshima.

The BBQ & Asian Cuisine Beer Garden at Kure Hankyu Hotel offers a perfect summer evening option for a meal that's not too formal, yet still satisfying. If you're looking to add a touch of the outdoors, beer, and Asian cuisine to your Setouchi journey, consider making it your last stop in Kure City.
