Me and my wife have stayed in this lovely Ryokan for 2 nights 7-8 April 2008. The owner Shinko and her sun Teppe were very friendly, helpful and generous. The room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The food (we have ordered Japanese dinners and Western breakfasts) was superb, actually the best we had in Japan. We wish we could... more

This is a lovely traditional family-run ryokan with great atmosphere. While not as high-end as some of the other guest houses on Miyajima (in amenities or price), this was a great choice! The hotel is very quiet and in a great location just across the street from the ferry terminal. It is also convenient for an evening stroll to view... more

I loved this little place, which is not a 5 star resort, it's a little B&B right by the ferry terminal and handy for Miyajima's sights. The food is fantastic! There's restaurants and sushi bar on floor 1 and 2 of this little place. The staff are extremely warm, extremely helpful and overall lovely people. So genuine it makes your... more

My husband and I spent three nights at Yamaichi Bekkan as part of a tour of Japan in March 2008. That stay was the best part of our trip. The hostess, Shinko-san, made us feel so much at home. She speaks good English, gave us good advice on climbing Mount Misen and visiting Hiroshima, and served great Japanese breakfasts and... more

If you're going to come to Miyajima, it's well worth staying for at least one night - you'll then get to see the island in relative peace and quiet once the hordes have departed! Yamaichi is directly opposite the ferry terminal. Very friendly welcome, and great traditional rooms to relax in. The highpoint though is surely the food - amazing!... more

We struggled to locate this little gem - only to find it across the road from the ferry terminal (so please ask for instructions!) We were greeted by Shinko - a lovely lady who spoke good english and was very friendly. Our japanese style room overlooked the sea (and the small ferry terminal - although this didn't bother us). It... more

We had the most wonderful two nights stay here and it was the highlight of our trip to Japan. Shinko (the owner) and her son Teppei were so helpful and polite - they really represent the best of Japan. The Ryokan is ideally situated just across the road from the ferry which is ideal if you have any luggage. We... more

After participating in a tradefair in Tokyo, we wanted to spend the weekend at a quiet place with legendary culture and lovely scenery. Miyajima Island was the place we chose and Yamaichi bekkan the hotel we selected, according to Tripadvisor recommendations. We were not disappointed at all. The small hotel was really just opposite the ferry terminal, very easy to... more

For the opportunity to stay on Miyajima itself, Yamaichi Bekkan is a good choice. Among the more affordable places to stay on the island, Yamaichi has such good food that residents from the upmarket hotels often come to eat in the evenings when they desire a change from their own facilities. Opposite the JR ferry terminal, and conveniently near to... more
