A beautiful location for an amazing hotel. The service was 110% and I would love to come back again - a very special experience

Nicole Japan

Gracious, thoughtful staff paired with stunningly beautiful accommodations, all conveniently located. We'd highly recommend this place to others seeking a unique ryokan (and kaiseki) experience!

Ethan United States of America

The location is great; the property is historic, beautiful, well maintained; and the staff is extremely helpful. Iwaso is an excellent way to have a Ryokan experience or even just a very nice place to stay on Miyajima Island. We will come back in the future.

William United States of America

Beautiful baths, very quiet location. Really enjoyed the location, close to all activities. Appreciated the shuttle from train station.

Louise Canada

A very traditional, grand Ryokan, Iwaso's staff really goes that extra step. The shuttle service from the Ferry Terminal is convenient and recommended, since the sandy paths are not nice for suitcases. The facilities, food, etc are all amazing.

The location was amazing. We had a room along the river and it was one of the most beautiful, relaxing places I have ever stayed. It was so lovely to hear the river flowing by. We had the traditional dinner and breakfast and everything we had was fresh, delicious, and very thoughtfully prepared. It was an experience like no other!

This property is a ryokan, which is a type of traditional Japanese Inn. Learn more

  • What's a ryokan?
    A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
  • What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
    Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
  • What's a kaiseki meal?
    Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
  • What's a yukata?
    A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
  • How should I wear a yukata?
    First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
  • What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
    Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
  • What's standard bathing etiquette?
    At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
  • Why are tattoos not allowed?
    While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.

      We were collected promptly from the ferry terminal following a call made by the information desk at the port and our baggage stored for us whilst we explored the island. On returning later in the day to check in we were met and shown around the Ryokan. We were each fitted out with a Yukata to wear for dinner and informed about Japanese etiquette. The meal was quite an experience and we sampled food that we would not normally have been ‘brave’ enough to sample. Each course was explained to us and we were then left to enjoy our food. We were not rushed at all and the lady who attended to us was attentive but not intrusive. The food was freshly prepared and seasoned well. Lots of light courses which together created quite a feast! On returning to our room the bedding had been laid out with gifts of ‘goodies’ just in case we were peckish during the evening. The location was perfect and after our meal took a walk down to the water front which is stunning at night. I’m not a lover of futons and really enjoy a comfy mattress so it was quite a shock to the system to sleep on one. It was, however, more comfortable than I thought it would be......but I don’t think I’d like to sleep on one for more than one night!

      The hotel has aged and needs some renovation touches as the furniture in the rooms is a bit worn out, the breakfast area is a bit uninspiring etc.

      Fantastic location, very friendly staff, great Japanese dinner and nice onsen facilitiec.

      If there is an option to go without dinner, that would be superb. Not because the dinner was no good, but it was too much which was not our usual dinner style.

      The Japanese breakfast, the location, the onsen and last but not least the service.

      A few more facilities in the room would be good - to play music and to relax.

      A beautiful location for an amazing hotel. The service was 110% and I would love to come back again - a very special experience
