Spent 2 nights here. It's an old ryokan, but has a lot of charm. It is looking a little rundown here and there and could do with a bit of a spruce up. That said, the rooms are spacious, the host was a charming ( she has enough English to converse), and the evening meal consisted of about 8 courses... More

Spending a night at the beautiful island of Miyajima is expensive, but so worth it! The island was one of the highlights on our 47 days trip to Japan, and if you spend the night you can enjoy the beauty and calmness of it longer than if you have to take the ferry back to Hiroshima in the evening.

I recently spent one night at this ryokan, and it was the first of the authentic experiences I had scheduled on my trip. The instructions provided to locate the ryokan on the island were simple and easily followed. It is maybe a 10 minute walk from the ferry pier. The hosts speak acceptable english, but not too much to make... More

Thank you Yuko for everything you have supplied, which made our trip in Miyajima so special...I enjoyed every thing in your ryokan. The evening meal was just unforgettable. The girl who served our table was so delightful! I absolutely loved the special hot pot dish. The base of the soup was so so so yummy! Only wish we stayed one... More

Our first authentic Japanese ryokan stay. Hosts were very welcoming and our 10 year old was made to feel very welcome. Instructions about bathing and meals was given in basic English which was all part of the experience. If instructions had been in fluent English it would not have felt like an authentic Japanese stay. Initially reluctant to sleep on... More

This ryokan was the most expensive night of our three weeks honeymoon trip around Japan but it was the best place in which we spent a night and the best meal we had! The owner was very kind, she kept our huge bags during the day and bring them upstairs in our room. The room was perfect (except our view... More

We are glad we read the other positive reviews carefully and followed their advice such as privately reserving the bath, using the ryokan as a luggage dropoff when arriving early in the day and then leaving late the next day to have plenty of time in Miyajima, sitting in their upstairs lounge at night. It was nice to be able... More

This ryokan is run by a truly gracious couple, located near the Miyajima pier, this is a comfortable ryokan where excellent food is served. The lodgings are comfortable and the owners are very nice people. Though slightly expensive, we had a very pleasant stay here.
