Staff was so friendly and helpful. It’s was perfect place to stay for our weekend getaway. We had our 4 year old with us and the room even had a kids chair for him. This will definitely be our hotel of choice when we go to Miyajima. It’s perfect location near the shops are restaurants, and they even held our luggage after check-out for us to walk around for a bit more before leaving the island.
United States of AmericaThe hotel is quite charming and positioned right off the pier and only meters away from the main attractions. It made a great launching point to experience the island in it's entirety. The staff was very accommodating and they also speak English. Be sure to eat some oysters served from the attached shop in front!
JapanThe location nearby the island, best sea view room. The staff were very kind and excellent. The location of hotel is not far from station. And when you go out from the hotel, you can see wild deer, local stalls sell grilled oyster, fried sausage, mapple cakes, etc.. the food in Miyajima was very excellent, hope to visit again for next holiday. Thank you very much ❤️
JapanCute room facing the ocean with tatami. Nice Onsen. Very helpful and honest owner and receptionist. Highly recommended! Thank you.
United KingdomOur room had a screened-in balcony with a lovely view of the ocean. We enjoyed watching the ferries come in. The location is very convenient.
United States of AmericaThe view of this hotel is good, I feel very comfortable place for stay!
JapanThis is a beautiful traditional style Japanese room in a supreme location. I had a perfect view of the harbor. It’s super clean, the staff are super friendly and efficient and their is an onsen downstairs where you can soak the hiking from your legs at the end of the day. It is also very fairly priced. I was only going to stay one night but I liked it so much I stayed another.....maybe even another ! Who knows !
AustraliaMy room had the ocean view and it was wonderful!! Very spacious and super clean. There is an onsen in the basement!
United States of AmericaWe had checked out. I was sick with a fever, and while my husband went out to find me some Tylenol (bc I had forgotten to pack my own), the little old Japanese receptionist was incredibly thoughtful and set up a personal heater in front of me while I laid on a chair in the lobby.
United States of AmericaLocated very conveniently close to the ferry port. The room was really spacious. The staff all spoke english. Looked very modern from inside even though they have traditional japanese rooms.

-
- 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.
