Hiroshima × Zen-Inspired AccommodationRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

On a gentle slope overlooking the distant Miyajima, the garden Property "Sekitei" stands serenely. From the Room, the view of the Seto islands beyond the hedges cleanses the soul. Stepping into the garden, the ridgelines of mountains resembling a landscape painting unfold behind, stirring the heart. Realizing that this Property embodies the charm of the "azumaya" nestled at the foot of the mountains depicted in the landscape painting and the garden's ambiance, one cannot help but be impressed. Thus, one feels compelled to spend time here, living like a hermit in tranquility. (A certain guest) May it be a night of chasing clouds over the mountains, sharing cups under the moonlight shimmering on the sea, and engaging in cheerful conversations. My friend, my beloved.

In the first year of Ansei (1854), the founder of our Property, Iwakuniya Sobei, received permission from the magistrate's office to develop the area. He built a bridge over the Momiji River in front of the Property and established a teahouse by the stream as a resting place for travelers. This marked the beginning of "Miyajima no Yado Iwaso." Later, the bustling popularity continued, and the Property officially opened as a Ryokan in the early Meiji period. The main entrance building dates back to 1892 (Meiji 25), and the lobby was constructed during renovations in 1981 (Showa 56). Today, we draw natural Onsen, a rarity on the island, and offer accommodations in the main building, new building, and detached rooms. As a Ryokan nestled within a national park, we strive daily to ensure our guests can relax and enjoy their stay.

The beauty of dynasty culture still lives on at the World Heritage Site, Itsukushima Shrine in Aki no Miyajima. The Ryokan "Itsukushima Iroha" warmly welcomes travelers with rooms filled with nostalgic charm, delicious Setouchi cuisine, a heavenly bath, and heartfelt hospitality that embraces tradition. Spend an irreplaceable night of peace and serenity on this sacred island.

Onomichi flourished as a key hub in Japan where people, goods, information, and culture came and went. The social setting where wealthy merchants entertained guests through the tea ceremony was known as a “Chaen,” and a long-established Ryokan that has long served this role in Onomichi has been reborn as “Ryokan Onomichi Nishiyama,” an Accommodation that carries Onomichi’s culture into the present day.
