Itsukushima Iroha

Das Hotel ist wunderschön, die Zimmer sind fabelhaft

Magnifique hôtel, onsen très sympathique. Mention spéciale pour la gentillesse de la personne qui nous a accueilli et expliqué les activités à faire sur l'île. La chambre était parfaite.

I highly recommend this ryokan for the exceptional experience including great food, staff & room. My room was a traditional ryokan room with tatami matts but with traditional mattresses. It overlooked the the pedestrian street but was very quiet at night since most tourists visit Miyajima as a daytrip. The staff was gracious enough to setup a futon for me on the tatami matt so that I could sleep traditional Japanese style. Haruka at the front desk was amazing. She speaks limited English but enough to communicate with. She wrote me a very sweet handwritten note that I will keep forever when I asked where I could buy a yukata robe. I had asked her where I could purchase a yukata (traditional Japanese robe). The presentation of the dinner was amazing and worth it. The on-site onsen was was great and was usually all to myself. It has one indoor pool along with a small one on the outdoor deck that overlooks the bay and torii gate. Upon checkout, Haruka escorted me out which I believe is typical of a ryokan. It was sad to leave because of how memorable the stay was! The ryokan was expensive but worth it for the experience. I can't imagine visiting Miyajima only as a day trip. It would be too rushed as there's plenty to do for 2 days. Must sees are the torii gate along with the shrine surrounding it, taking the ropeway up to Mt. Misen (the top of the mountain is about a 20-30 minute steep hike from the end of the ropeway but I recommend it), and finally definitely do not miss Daishoin shrine which was truly amazing. Recommend avoiding Saturday & Sundays as it's very, very crowded.

Amazing overnight experience on Miyajima island made more special by our traditional stay in a traditional Japanese hotel. Whole family slept on tatami mats and wore Japanese robes with Japanese slippers. Kaiseki traditional full course meal for parents and onsen on rooftop a treat for adults while kids enjoyed more friendly food and wrestling on tatami mats.

Un excelente hotel, la habitación es perfecta (nos quedamos en la estilo europeo con vista al torii), el personal es muy amable y servicial y las amenidades son muy buenas. La cena estuvo muy rica, pero el desayuno japonés fue lo mejor de la estadía.

Magnifique ryokan sur l’ile de Miyajima, établissement ayant modernisé le ryokan , grande chambre spacieuse avec vue sur la mer et la tori pour la notre, plein d’attentions en chambre (boissons, gâteaux, produits de beauté), repas typique japonais mais très raffiné dans un magnifique cadre, personnel adorable et serviable, et possibilité de faire une petite balade pour digérer et voir le tori éclairé de nuit. Très belle découverte, à recommander
