“Immerse yourself in Japanese way of living, on a beautiful island, close to main temples and shrines. Great and friendly service”

What a retreat. We spent 2 nights in a family room with sea view. Real Japanese tradition. Dining and sleeping in the same room. Dlicious dinner is served by really friendly staff, who then prepare your futon for the night. The hotel has all the needed facilities (nice bathroom, drinks a volunteer in room fridge or at various places in the hotel, amazing terrace with view on the sea, mountain, shrines and temples, onsen, ypu get really nice yukata for your stay,...) Staff is really friendly. Walking distance from everything. If you are a bit sportive or like walking, do the Mount Missen walking path up and down, early in the morning. Thanks to everyone for making our stay so memorable and traditional.

“Pricey but amazing experience”

We wanted the ryokan experience and we certainly got it. We arrived early so able to drop off luggage at the front. First, the hotel has pick up/drop off services for/from the pier.

We wanted the ryokan experience and we certainly got it. We arrived early so able to drop off luggage at the front. First, the hotel has pick up/drop off services for/from the pier. Just contact them to provide the time and they'll be right out front with their black van to pick you up. The staff is very friendly, and had our luggage in our room by the time we came back to check-in. We had the 308/Kaede room. Wow, it was huge. There were basically 4 rooms, one western style dining room, one Japanese style dining with tatami mats, another tatami room, and a sitting room facing the Itsukushima Jinja Pagoda. It was pricey so maybe why the hotel didn't seem full but there were so much to the hotel. While you are out, they will setup the mattresses for the night. There is also a massage chair in the room, along with Yukatas you can borrow for the stay and to use while at the onsen. As for the facilities, there is so much to the hotel. It has a cafe facing the street, and a rooftop terrace that overlooks the harbor area as well as the shrine. at the upstairs floor, there is a quiet reading room, as well as several focus rooms, and at both of these, there is all you can drink soft drinks, popsicles, beer, hard liquor, and coffee. We were up in the terrace multiple times through our stay and never encountered a soul. We opted for the included breakfast which is a traditional Japanese breakfast. It wasn't the kids' cup of tea but a great experience nonetheless. The onsen was in the basement, open to the public but we only saw staff come in to use the shower, and usually had them all to ourselves. There is a channel from the room that you can view to see if there are folks in the onsens but that never seemed to be accurate. Location was remarkably convenient. It's facing the ocean and the Shopping Street was right behind it. And couple minutes walk to views of the Itsukushima Shrine. We really can't recommend this hotel enough and worth what we paid. It lived up to our expectations and desires for the full ryokan experience.

“Miyajima one night visit”

Amazing view and great service. Very close to the floating Tori gate was a 5 minute walk away. Very nice treats all around, as well as a great dinner and breakfast experience! Make sure to save room for dinner! All around fantastic experience.

A wonderful traditional ryokan hotel on the waterfront at Miyajima with views of the famous Itsukushima Shrine torii gate. The room was immaculate and well appointed, and had a great lounge area with massage chair overlooking the water. We enjoyed the private and public baths, free drinks on the rooftop terrace, as well as a most delicious and impressive kaiseki dinner in our room. Our attendant was lovely and friendly, and took such great care of our mixed Japanese/ Australian party. The next morning we joined other hotel guests in the banquet hall downstairs for a Japanese breakfast. A most enjoyable experience!
