Onsen Areas around Miyajima × Nature Experience AccommodationHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

This Accommodation is an entire private house, so it may feel a bit oversized for two people for one night. However, since we had previously stayed in cramped business hotels, the sense of space here was on a completely different level, and it really helped us recover from the day’s fatigue. There are many Rooms, including some hideout-like spots, and there are also two toilets, so I think it’s ideal for groups staying multiple nights—especially for those who want to cook for themselves. That said, perhaps because it was during a holiday period, the bathroom cleaning didn’t seem to be done in time, and the drain was dirty. It was a bit disappointing given how great everything else was. Overall it was excellent, and if we have another chance next time, we would definitely like to stay again.

We visited as two women this time. A dedicated staff member was assigned to us and took care of us both in our room and during meals. We were amazed by the attentive service. They explained each dish at just the right moments without interrupting our conversation, and even kindly made rice we couldn’t finish into onigiri—thoughtful touches that are hard to come by. The food was outstanding, easily among the top one or two meals we’ve had at any ryokan. Every staff member we passed in the building greeted us and added a few warm words as well, which truly impressed us. What a comfortable place this is. We recommended it to our family that very day. As we were leaving, a staff member who was cleaning said, “We look forward to welcoming you again.” Although we travel often, it was the first time anyone had said that to us—and it really moved us. This is a wonderful inn where training and hospitality reach every detail. You can feel that everyone works from the guest’s perspective, and thanks to that we had a truly pleasant stay. We will definitely visit again—not just Hiroshima, but Arimoto specifically. It was such a lovely day. Thank you very much.

This was my second stay. Even though you must welcome many guests, I was surprised that some of the staff remembered me despite my visit a year ago. I made another Reservation without hesitation because the warm hospitality and delicious meals were just as wonderful last time. It’s also in a convenient location within walking distance of Itsukushima Shrine, Daisho-in Temple, and the Mt. Misen Ropeway. In summer, you can visit Itsukushima Shrine from 6:30 a.m., so I recommend waking up early and taking a relaxing walk to enjoy worship at a quieter time with fewer tourists.

I stayed in a Room on the third floor facing the sea. The view of the Great Torii Gate from the window was stunning, and I fully enjoyed the scenery of Miyajima! Itsukushima Shrine is also nearby, making it easy to take morning and evening strolls. For dinner, I chose the economy option but was very satisfied with delicious sashimi, oyster dishes, and anago-meshi to finish—completely filling and satisfying. The staff were all friendly with warm smiles, and both the Room and bath were well-maintained for a comfortable stay. If you're staying in Miyajima, this Hotel is highly recommended. On my way back when they kindly gave me a ride to the pier, I learned that cameras from NHK and other TV stations are installed on this Hotel's rooftop. It must offer one of the best views in Miyajima. At check-in, they even went to retrieve my luggage from a coin locker at the pier for me—it was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for everything during my stay!
