It is a magic island where I would spend at least a couple of full days by sleeping in an authentic hotel with futon beds. If you can, i recommend to do the hiking of the main mountain (not difficult at all)

If you are an elderly Japanese teetotaller who likes simple food, an onsen and beautiful views this is the place for you!
If however, you also like your hotel to be multi generational, with a nice bar, good food and a welcoming atmosphere, this is definitely not the hotel for you.

We stayed 2 nights but wish we could have stayed longer.
We stayed 2 nights but wish we could have stayed longer. We took one whole day climbing the mountain, which was great but time consuming, so we ended up not seeing everything on our list. Keep in mind that the restaurants and bars close by 7 or 8 pm because all of the tourists leave the island around 5:30 pm. You really get to enjoy the beautiful island in peace and quiet in the morning and evening before the boats of tourists arrive. It was our favorite place we visited in Japan!

Miyajima Villa was the perfect escape!
Miyajima Villa was the perfect escape! Friendly, professional staff assisted us to get settled, offering umbrellas for the rain, assistance on getting around the Island, etc. The hotel even offers Onsen clothing and many other amenities for their guests! The hotel is conveniently located just steps from the ferry dock and the main streets to see the Tori Gate or the Itsukushima Shrine, the aquarium, to get to the Ropeway, trinket stores, ice cream stations, and so on. Our ocean room view had 2 oversized very comfy twin beds, a small couch, & desk. Loved the Toto Washlet in the toilet room! The bathtub while small was perfect for soaking after 5 hours of hiking. Lots of soft water and water pressure. The onsen (public bath) was just pure Heaven! :-) Sitting in the enclosed area in back of the hotel is just more of the escape and so worthwhile! :-)
Thankfully there was food available in the hotel (bakery, dinner, breakfast) because ALL food service in town STOPS AT 4:30pm! At least, it did while we were there. Our breakfast with Miyajima Villa was wonderful and very filling whether Japanese or American food.
High caution is advised if you plan to hike from the Ropeway, as we did. Trails are not well marked on all trails. However, the trail to the top of Mt Misen is well worthwhile! Hopefully, you are as fortunate as we were to see the Tori Gate at high & low tides as well as catching it at sunset, which brought out MANY PEOPLE. :-) :-) What a perfectly lovely island to spend some adventure time!

Obey the signs and DON"T feed the wild deer, which are a pest.
If you are not into big walks (e.g. climbing the mountain) make sure you take the ropeway up Mt Mizen and then walk the last little bit to the top, so worth it, try to do as early in the day as possible.
Stay the night on the Island, hardly anyone around and so peaceful.
Dining out after 18:00 is a little difficult as not many places open.
Great Tradiational Japanese hotel, breakfast, and dinner included with the stay which is great om Miyajima Island, the food was truly amazing. Overall a great stay with great staff and gives you an opportunity to explore Miyajama Island after the tourist have left in the evening. There is also a shuttle service that takes you from the ferry station to the hotel. Hotels are also right outside the the Aquarium which was pretty cool.
The hotel is located right next to the ferry pier-seriously, just steps away. The hotel itself isn't special but it really is a great value, given the location. They were happy to keep my luggage before and after checkout, so I was able to spend time on Miyajima until sunset and go back for sunrise. While the room wasn't especially memorable, the facility was clean and the staff was friendly.
Our room was in classic Japanese style with tatami, Shoji, wet bath, and yakata. It was elegant and had all the amenities you could want including a wide choice of beverages, sweet treats and luxury skincare. The outdoor public bath with view was wonderful. The meals were elaborate and exquisite. The staff were lovely. I highly recommend this hotel for a special treat.
The hotel itself gives is beautifully designed and gives off a traditional ryokan vibe. The location is perfect and is a great option for those who plan to stay a night. They also provide yukatas and sandals for use around the island.
The onsen bath was also very pleasant and I was lucky enough to receive a free room upgrade. Would definitely visit again.
Great position close to the train and ferry station, around 10 mins walk. Hosts were so kind and let us park our car in their property. Our room had a balcony with a nice view on Miyajima island. We had the opportunity to experience the Japanese life since the family is living in the house, we would definitely come back!
The owner is very nice. He gave tips about the island & places to eat, and was always helpful.
The room was Japanese style looking out over the small village, shrines and ocean.
The location of the guesthouse is in a quiet area away from the main tourist zone, but still very easy to reach.
Shuttle bus between Miyajimaguchi station and the hotel.
Evening boat cruise from the hotel pier to the "floating torii at Itsukushima Shrine.
Tasty and light pasta dinner at the western restaurant on premise.
Hospitable and friendly staff.
Spacious room.
Room was spacious and very clean with a beautiful view from the balcony. The private onsen was an absolute dream with views looking over to Miyajima Island. Free shuttle bus from the train station and a perfect location for visiting Miyajima Island.
This apartment was bigger than most hotels on the island. With a full kitchen and private bathroom, this apartment was hands down the best for your money. The Hotel Villa Miyajima was right next door and they have a bar that stays open till 11pm.
All aspects of the ryokan including location, rooms, food and staff exceeded expectations. The view of the Torii Gate from our room was magnificent. The private outdoor bath was a great touch. Make sure to reserve it when you check in.
Very nice hotel with extremely nice hosts willing to make the best out of your stay.
Typical Japanese style rooms with futon and nice public baths available to relax after a long day hiking and enjoying Miyajima. Definitely recommend
Nice property in Miyajima, a few minutes away from the center, in a quiet location. I particularly liked the small onsen, and having the opportunity to book either a standard hotel room with the bathroom or a Japanese style.
Hotel is by the seaside and has good view from the room. A bit far from town but shuttle was readily available from tourist information center. Staff was extremely nice and polite throughout the stay and food was delicious!
Location was perfect, only five minutes from the Torii, and close to the nicest areas in Miyajima.
Breakfast and dinner were simple, but very good.
Staff was super nice and helpful as well!
Staff were super friendly and polite. Enjoyed the ryokan experience and authentic Japanese cruisine. I also loved the shuttle service from ferry port. It was very prompt and convenient
The hotel is located in about 15 min walk from the ferry arrival station. It’s a small island so it’s walkable to all the attractions easily. They provide 2 bottles of water.
Very nice hotel, the staff was very helpfull. The rooms looks better in reality then on the photos and beds are big and comfy. It was very close to the ferry to Miyajima.
