Guest Reviews

• MIKA (8/5): - 朝食が凄く豪華でとても美味しかったです。
• Steven (10/5): - What a wonderful and authentic Japanese experience. The hosts made us both feel extremely welcome and accommodated despite the language barrier. The Japanese style keiseki breakfast and dinner were outstanding both in taste and general experience. Thoroughly recommend for those who want a true Ryokan experience. The private onsen was also outstanding to say the least.
• Carson (10/5): - Wonderful place to call home for a few days. Staff were so kind, rooms were clean and tidy, and the breakfast was unbelievable!
• Pascal (10/5): Très bon accueil ! - Séjour très agréable dans ce petit Ryokan. Le personnel est très aimable, et les chambres sont fonctionnelles. Il n’y avait pas de douche dans ma chambre mais si l’on tient compte du prix c’est acceptable, surtout que leur petit Onsen est convenable. Les petit-déjeuners (japonais) sont exceptionnels ! Attention, il y a beaucoup de visiteurs sur l’île dans la journée mais la plupart repartent en fin d’après-midi et cela peut être un peu compliqué de trouver un restaurant ouvert le soir.
• ???? (10/5): - 空気が良く、心地よく眠れました。
• Griff (10/5): - Great hotel with nice and helpful staff. Dinner and breakfast are excellent. Really nice to see Miyajima after dark with very few tourists.
• Isabelle (10/5): 1ère nuit dans un ryokan - Ryokan charmant, nous avons déposé nos valises en arrivant le matin et quand nous sommes revenus en fin de journée, elles étaient dans notre chambre. Nous avons profité de la salle de bain commune en couplé et avons pu nous détendre dans l'eau chaude. 20mn à pied du débarcadère. Nous avons très bien dormi sur les futons. Le petit déjeuner traditionnel japonais était incroyable ! Les chambres sont grandes, très belle expérience.
• yumi (2/5): - 部屋が独特の匂いが気になりましたが 朝食はボリュームもあって満足です。 お風呂の温度はぬるめ。 静かでのんびりできる宿です。
• Michael (10/5): - All you can wait from a Ryokan...
• stefan (10/5): - We had a lovely time. Thanks to the hosts
• Emmanuelle (10/5): Auberge familiale à l'écart de la foule - Cette auberge est très agréable, tenue par des personnes charmantes. On y déjeune le midi. Le soir, il faut réserver à l'avance. Les chambres sont très jolies, très confortables. La propreté est impeccable. Kimono et pyjama à disposition. Le seul bémol concerne le bain : l'eau était tout juste tiède. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux et ultra copieux.
• Koichi (10/5): 小ぢんまりとした静かで居心地の良いお宿 - オフシーズンに2泊3日滞在しました。現代的な民宿に泊まっている感じで、良かったです。朝食は2日ともまったく異なるメニューを出していただき、美味しくボリューミーで満足で、どちらも完食しました。船着場からかなり歩く立地ですが、古い街並みを歩くのが好きなので問題なし。宿は水族館の目の前に立ち、浜辺へも徒歩数分。厳島神社へも健脚者なら5分程度です。観光客が集まる地区から少し離れているので静かに過ごせました。3階建てですが、エレベーターはありません。1階にはランチもできるカフェ営業、夕食は前日までに予約が必要とのこと。オフシーズンだからか、宮島の繁華街は午後6時すぎにはほとんどシャッターが下りていて、夕食難民になりやすいです。コンビニは船着場を出て、正面広場の奥の角に茶色ロゴのローソンが1軒だけありました。夜は21：30までなので、夕食難民時は2階の飲食スペースも利用可。
• conor (10/5): - Lovely place on Miyajima away from the busy shopping area but not a far walk from the terminal, maybe 15 minutes and still very accessible to the main shopping street, itsukashima shrine, the rope way all the good stuff if still less than 5-10 minutes walking distance. Very clean, lovely bath and shower facilities very nice after a long day of walking. The people who run it are incredibly sweet and you can see they truly care about your experience. Couldn’t give it higher praise!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 宿泊客が少ないアットホームなホテルです。施設も新しく畳の小上がりがあり快適に過ごせました。門限も相談すれば弾力的に運用してもらえ、干潮時間に合わせて厳島神社の大鳥居にも直接触ることができました。お風呂も貸切でゆっくりくつろげました。朝食も美味しかったです。ただ小型施設のためエレベーターがないなどバリアフリーには対応していないようです。またフェリーターミナルや厳島神社からも若干距離があるので、若い旅行者向けかとも思いました。施設やホスピタリティだけで判断すれば宿泊施設としてオススメできます。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 一人旅で宿を探していたところこちらがネットで出てきました。 必要最低限のものは揃っていたし、朝食付きにしましたが本当にボリューム満載で美味しかったです。快適に過ごせました！
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Best ryokan experience. The breakfast was huge, please be prepared for breakfast. You can wear provided yukuta to breakfast.
• ゆきえ (8/5): - 場所がわかりにくいので、迷いました、朝食は、すごく品数も多く美味しかったです、スタッフの方が良かったです。
• amy (10/5): Absolutely wonderful! - My stay at Ryosaino Oyado Mizuhaso was wonderful! The hosts were all very nice, the room was comfortable, and the food was absolutely delicious. Both meals had so many components, it was so much fun to try everything! The private bath was also very nice after hiking up the mountain that day. It was also a very short, easy walk to this place from the shopping area. I would definitely stay here again!
• Ira (10/5): - Excellent Japanese style breakfast included 👍. Very quiet environment. Extremely comfortable bedding. Very roomy baths. Very good ryokan experience. Miyajima is quiet during off season so beware of the fact that it gets dark early and many close by restaurants were closed (early?). The shopping area near the small ferry building stays open and we were happy to have found a few restaurants that were opened for business after 5 pm. We had a great oyster dinner at Kakiya.
• hiroko (10/5): - 必要なものが足りていて、清潔でスタッフは親切で感じが良い。お料理も美味しい。 密集地から少しだけ離れているのも静かで快適です。
• ミナコ (10/5): - 水族館の目の前にある宿。 宿を出て2分歩けば大鳥居があるので、どんな時間帯でもすぐに観に行けます。 早朝に行ったら、引き潮で朝焼けに輝く大鳥居の足元を散歩出来ました。 館内は機能的で、清潔なのでとてもリラックスして過ごせました。 食事は和食の『お惣菜』の品数が多いが、少量ずつ盛られて味付けもさまざまで美味しい。野菜もふんだんに食べられて満足です。事前に希望すれば洋食に変更出来るのは嬉しい。 　ごちそうさまでした。　 また、利用したいです。
• Christine (10/5): - The staff were nice and friendly.Breakfast was wonderful and plentiful. The Onsen was nice. The place was nice and quiet.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were nice and friendly.Breakfast was wonderful and plentiful. The Onsen was nice. The place was nice and quiet.
• Wai Khin (10/5): - Quite a distance from the ferry terminal, be prepared to walk about 15 minutes. Not recommended to have a luggage with you. On the flip side, area is nice and quiet with minimal footfall. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff. Shower and bath facility is shared, but the door can be locked when in use.
• Jackie (10/5): - Wonderful, traditional, small hotel with onsen located at the shuttle stop for the aquarium. Choice of Japanese or Western breakfast - choose Japanese, an experience not to be missed! Hotel is just steps from views of the O-Tori Gate and a nice walk into the shopping/ferry area. Only downside is that by 5:00pm, everything in the nearby area is closed and shuttered so plan accordingly.
• Blandine (10/5): - Everything was perfect !
• David (10/5): - .
• Jay (10/5): - Felt very personable to a foreigner as myself. Very accommodating and sweet staff. Lovely hotel on the island with wonderful views
• Rosemary (10/5): - This little place was beautiful. We only stayed one night unfortunately. Would have loved to stay longer. Perfect.
• Matthew (10/5): - A great place to stay. The proprietor was extremely kind and helpful. The shower had the strongest water pressure I have ever experienced. I would stay again - highly recommended!
• David (10/5): Un établissement au charme absolu. - Quasiment en face de l'aquarium, donc un peu excentré mais ça ajoute au charme à cette auberge. Un accueil incroyable de gentillesse de la part de toute l'équipe. En demi-pension, un dîner gargantuesque et délicieux (6 plats + un dessert). Le petit déjeuner à choisir entre style japonais ou occidental. La gérante nous a offert des parapluies car il s'est mis à pleuvoir au moment de notre départ. Le genre de petite attention qui fait la différence. Un établissement à recommander.
• Deborah (8/5): - The guest house staff were very friendly and helpful however we arrived on a very wet day and everything closed on the island so getting any dinner was not possible. The hot tub was magnificent and the Japanese breakfast excellent. Our room was very comfortable as well.
• Rie (8/5): - 一泊朝食付きで滞在しました。アメニティも最低限揃っており、私は不便は感じませんでした。快適に滞在できました。なので他の方が気になるであろう点のみ記載します。ルームキーはカードではなく、差し込んで回す鍵のタイプですがフロントに預けず持って外出できます。雨戸や遮光カーテンはありませんでした(利用したルームにおいては)。完全遮光で就寝したい方は気になるかもしれません。ルームウェアは浴衣と薄いシャツと8分丈くらいのパンツ両方が用意されていました。スリッパは使い捨てでは無いです。壁のコンセントが全体的に抜けやすかったかも。朝食は美味しく量も多く、華やか。朝食があまり食べられない人は量の調整をリクエストしておくと良いかもしれません。これは完全に当方の問題ですがせっかく準備してくださった朝食、もったいないので完食したところ山に登る時にちょっと脇腹がしんどくなりました…。　お部屋に電話は無かったです。浴室は共有、トイレは部屋に備え付け。念の為再度申し添えますが、快適に滞在できました。
• An H (10/5): - Great place to stay to experience traditional Japanese cuisine and explore Miyajima island. Location is with in Walking distance to popular shrine, hiking trails and tori gate. Excellent hostess and friendly staff during check in and check out. Thank you for lovely hospitality
• Irma (10/5): Buen hotel - El hotel está bien ubicado a unos 10 minutos a pie del templo Itsukusima y a unos 20 de la estación de ferry. La habitación es de estilo japonés con servicio y lavabo en la habitación. Te dejan un pijama y un yukata. Tienen 2 baños públicos, uno es undividual con una cubeta y otro para dos personas con dos cubetas. Después de un dia agotador es muy reconfortante tomar un baño. Aunque apenas hablan inglés son muy amables y al final te acabas entendiendo. No pidomos cenar por la noche porque aunque tienen restaurante no daban ese servicio, quizás reservando con antelación. En la isla cierran todos los restaurantes muy pronto. Es difícil encontrar un ligar para cenar después de las 19h. El desayuno es espectacular tanto si eliges versión japonés como si eliges la versión continental.

• Verified traveler (10/5): 和式居所風，半私人風呂之選 - 整體復古和式建築，推薦共用的浴室很舒服，可鎖門私用，適合情侶家庭入住。 房間比較小，活動空間不足，但整潔度舒適度都可以。最驚喜是每天日式早餐，份量超多很好吃。員工服務態度一流。 雖然距離碼頭好遠，但靠近水族館，可坐迷你巴士。
• Gerardo (10/5): - Wonderful staff, great food, east to go to and from once you familiarize yourself with the island's roads and paths. I had a great stay, highly recommend.
• YUANLONG (10/5): 非常好的住宿體驗 - 這間飯店的CP值很高。 飯店沒有很大，但可以感覺主人很用心。 房間沒有浴室，公用浴室是包廂制。使用的人可以鎖門成為私人空間。 早餐讓我很驚訝，我沒有想到這裡會有會席早餐。而且我是素食者，我沒有期待早餐的內容，但飯店明顯的很用心。這讓我在個人旅行中感到溫暖。 床很好睡，讓我不知不覺睡了10個小時
• Julie (10/5): - Personnel très sympathique, accueillant et serviable. On m’a préparé une boîte à lunch déjeuné car je quittais l’hôtel trop tôt. Expérience typique japonaise. Une de mes meilleures expériences d’hébergement au Japon
• Inga (10/5): - Great location and great service
• Karine (10/5): - Great place, food, services Highyl recommend
• ゆか (4/5): - お風呂のお湯が冷めて水のようだった。
• Jessica (10/5): - Lovely ryokan in Miyajima. Very clean, convenient, and comfortable.
• Estelle (10/5): - L’hébergement est très bien situé et un peu à l’écart de la foule de touristes. Très belle qualité d’hébergement, le services est impeccable et le petit déjeuner exceptionnel.
• ?? (10/5): - 場所は 宮島水族館の真ん前で船着場から歩いて距離がありましたが、宿泊には 静かなところで良いと思います。 夕食、朝食はお正月に合わせたメニューで温かい美味しい料理が出てきて大変満足でした！
• まさあき (6/5): - 朝食よかった！
• TAKAKO (8/5): - 朝食が充実していました。楽しませていただきました。
• Nancy (10/5): Amazing - Wonderful hosts and wonderful food! The amenities are fantastic. They waited with dinner for me though I arrived late. Away from the crowds. I regret not booking more nights here.
• Donald (10/5): - Check in person was friendly, happy, and helpful. Superb breakfast. Excellent location. Room was very clean and nice - I slept so well!!!
• Nicolas (10/5): - It was a very amazing experience
• Brian (10/5): - This guesthouse (ryokan) is a little off the main tourist track on Miyajima Island but that is its advantage since it does not suit in a sea of people all day long. It's still close to the main places. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the stylish bathroom. And the food was fresh and delicious. Recommended.
• Jacey (10/5): - Staff are super kind and helpful. I arrived a bit past 7, but they still honored my dinner reservation. The food is fantastic and both dinner and breakfast were my best meals in Japan so far. The bath is also wonderful, especially after walking and hiking all day. I’d definitely stay here again when I visit Miyajima!
• Léa (10/5): - Superbe séjour ! Le personnel est adorable et tout etait très propre. Le petit-déjeuner très copieux. L'emplacement est également idéal. Le seul petit bémol serait le manque de volet occultant dans la chambre, mais si on le prévoit à l'avance, c'est parfait.
• ???? (10/5): - お部屋も清潔で広いし、スタッフさんも優しくて丁寧な対応で朝ごはんもお腹いっぱい美味しい料理が出て来て最高でした！また是非是非行きたいです！
• JeongHun (10/5): - 시설도 깨끗하고 식사의 퀄리티도 좋습니다. 종업원도 친절하며 장소는 수족관 바로 앞에 위치하여 토리이에서도 멀지 않습니다. 샤워시설은 공용이지만 깔끔하게 정돈되어 있으며 사람이 많지 않기에 순서를 기다릴 일이 없이 거의 전용처럼 사용했습니다. 방은 1~2인이면 딱 맞고 적당합니다. 가볍고 깔끔하게 쓸사람에게 강력하게 추천합니다.
• Nolwenn (10/5): - Excellent séjour avec du personnel de qualité, des repas très bons et un emplacement parfait car un peu éloigné de la foule tout en étant proche. Astuce il y a un arrêt de bus tout proche quand on veut accéder au port.
• Yasuyuki (8/5): - 厳島神社の西側エリアで静かに過ごしたい方向きです。朝食は特に充実しています。
• Verified traveler (10/5): また泊まりたい宿です‼️ - 厳島神社からもお店を見ながらぶらぶら歩いていたらすぐなのに、静かな場所にありました。 施設は新しく、お風呂も家族風呂になっていて、ゆっくり入ることができ、快適でした。 何より夕食、朝食はお正月に合わせたメニューの上にとにかく豪華で、大食漢で無いのが本当に残念でした。
• Remi (10/5): - 館内はコンパクトでとても清潔感がある部屋でした。 そして、食事が素晴らしかったです。 食べれない食材にも対応してくださり、 量、内容共に大満足の食事を楽しむことができました。 また宮島に行く際は利用させていただきたいです。
• Tomoko (10/5): - 緊急事態宣言時期に予約したのですが、お店も水族館もしまっておりますがどうされますかとお電話を頂き、日程変更させて頂きました。ご親切な対応有難かったです。
• Seiji (10/5): 最高 - 最高
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 清潔度は最高
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The property is just in front of the aquarium. Room was of a good size and bathroom is shared with other guests but with the option to lock the door while using it. Food was delicious both breakfast and dinner. The staff was really friendly and helpful, left my hoodie in the closet and they offered to send to my hotel in osaka!. Would definitely come back again!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very kind and helpful staff. Quiet location. Inn was very clean and comfortable.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Fantastic location on miyajima. Evening meal of about 12 courses was superb in presentation and quality. Breakfast was also excellent. Staff friendly and made us very welcome. Would highly recommend.
• Alan (10/5): Great ryukon on miyajima - Fantastic stay. Very welcoming staff. Very comfortable facilities. Toilet is ensuite. Shower/bath is on corridor. Large room very comfortable for a solo stay. Rate included breakfast and dinner both of which were absolutely top quality. Location is 20 min walk from ferry or 800 yen taxi. Very close to the great torii. Could not ask for better.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The entire property was very well kept and up to date. Staff were very friendly and the Japanese breakfast was top notch.
• Tamela (10/5): A Hidden Gem - This ryokan is a hidden gem. I had a beautiful simple Japanese-style room with futon on the floor, rice paper screens, and my own toilet. The picturesque bath area had a big deep bowl-shaped tub that was relaxing. It's at a quiet tree-filled end of town. Best of all, the Japanese breakfasts were AMAZING! Both mornings, the owners laid out many small exquisitely prepared dishes of fish, veggies, fruit, rice, and eggs cooked at the table. It's a little bit of a hike from the ferry landing through the pretty town and shrine areas, but you could take a taxi.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great ryokan that offered an amazing breakfast! Staff were kind and cordial. Although the hotel was a bit of a ways from the dock, I think it was worth the walk!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Felt really looked after by the staff here, and was a lovely place to spend a quiet weekend retreat.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - A casual modern guesthouse that mixes aspects of hotel and ryokan. Much less intimidating than a traditional ryokan, with more relaxed rules (e.g. shoes may be worn up to your room) and some concessions to western sensibilities (baths are shared, but there are locks on the doors for privacy while using one). The staff have limited English but are friendly, used to foreign guests, and good at communicating. The food is excellent - as with the accommodation, it is a fusion of traditional concepts with modern/western influences, and considerable effort clearly goes into the menus; it is here that the limited English does unfortunately mean that non-Japanese-speaking guests will miss out on a lot of the detailed explanations, but the flavours are quite capable of speaking for themselves. The main downsides are the location, which is a bit out of the way - but easily walkable from the ferry port unless you have heavy luggage (and you’re not going to spend more than a night or two on Miyajima, so consider sticking the suitcase in a coin locker and just bringing a lighter bag!); and the curfew, which means you won’t get to wander the streets at night, if for some reason you were hoping to do that.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - It was far from the ferry so be ready for a walk but it's a clean and very well don't place, breakfast was exceptional!
• Joshua (10/5): Perfect stay - Amazing!!!!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent - This place is run by a family for over 50 years (so the owners told me). It is rather small but extremely well-maintained ryokan. The room was big (and way bigger than many 3-4 stars hotel in Japan). Although the baths are shared, they are quite private (as you can have it for yourself) and contain Ofuro (Japanese soaking tubs). I also recommend having a dinner there, it was rather cheap compared to other eating places and rather authentic experience (and five-course meal) - I tried many new things, which I would not have found on my own.
• Angela (10/5): Nice little guest house, good food. - Booked a room with dinner included. It was totally worth the extra money. A 12 course meal with many delicious items. The shops on the island mostly closes after 5 so it is a good idea to order dinner. Room and shared shower were clean. Staff were friendly and spoke sufficient english. Highly recommended.
• Mr H O M (8/5): Traditional Ryokan experience with Kaiseki cuisine - The room was traditional Japanese tatami style, small and cosy. The lady who checked me in had basic but definitely workable English. The hotel is located a bit far from the ferry pier. A 20 minute walk (not fun with luggage and in the rain). The famous Itsukushima Temple and the old shopping street are between the hotel and the ferry pier. The Ropeway Station to get to the Shishiwa on top of one of the hills is 25 minutes walk heading inland from the old shopping street. The hotel is also a restaurant on the ground floor. This is why I walked right past it looking for it! If you go for half-board here, you are a guest at the restaurant as well. Here they offer "Kaiseki" i.e. a Japanese fine dining experience. It consists of many small dishes over multiple courses. The courses involved local produce including the famous Miyajima oysters, river eels and even Fugu (didn't expect it but now I've ticked it off my bucket list). I could not decide whether to day-trip from Hiroshima or stay the night on Miyajima, but saw another review gush about the dinner experience i.e. "Kaiseki" and decided to go for it. This does mean the hotel is effectively closed for the evening at around 10PM-ish when they close up the restaurant on the ground floor. However being a sleepy little tourist island, everything is apparently shut after 10PM. To be honest I could have done Miyajima as a day trip but this was certainly an option when I didn't want to go too basic with a hostel.
• Audrey M (10/5): All around excellent auberge in Miyajima - Auberge Misuhaso is great! It is not a traditional ryokan - there is a private toilet and a mini fridge in each room - but it gives a sense of fusion Japanese style. The food - dinner and breakfast - are excellent. The dinner, in particular, was beyond words, easily the best meal I have ever had. Staff are very friendly, and it is easy to get to: just follow the signs for the aquarium and the auberge is a block or so before the aquarium entrance. Misuhaso makes staying a night in Miyajima well worth your time.
• Kiyomi (10/5): Absolutely fabulous! - I had a really great time at the hotel. The OKAMI ( the owner/GM) was so kind! Even though it was an unusual bad weather - typhoon and heavy rain warning around the area, I could enjoy the trip with her help! Also their food was so delicious.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great Accomodation, Amazing Food - Brilliant experience - good quality with casual and very friendly service, well worth the rate paid. Accomodation is Japanese style with futons. Toilet and basin in room, shared (but private) Japanese bathrooms with showers and tubs. Food was exceptional, top quality local cuisine - definately book dinner and breakfast package, take the Japanese food option (western option available too), sit back and enjoy. Its a real feast! Great experience being on Miyajima at night or in the morning without the crowds of tourists. Location as shown on Hotels.com is inaccurate though - follow signs to the Aquarium and it's just across the road.
• sensi (8/5): Very nice boutique hotel in Miyajima! - Excellent food, super clean & well decorated. The dinner and the private bath were amazing! The only downside was the strict rule regarding check-in at 3pm. Also, the Booking.com map is incorrectly showing the location of the hotel, so I had a hard time finding it (although it is not far away)
• Jeff (10/5): Fantastic Place! - Great Location, helpful staff, great meals, great bath.
• CY (8/5): hotel is close to Itsukushima shrine - very quiet and cosy place to stay. Just that you need to share bathroom, but there is private toilet in the room. Inset sounds can be hear all days during summer. It's cool!
