"Miyajima Grand Hotel Arimoto" is a Ryokan with a history dating back to the early Edo period, now run by its 20th generation. It is the closest accommodation to Itsukushima Shrine and the oldest accommodation in Miyajima, welcoming numerous guests over the years.In 1974, it opened a new annex on an elevated location behind the shrine, moving from its original site along Ari-no-Ura beach. The Ryokan has since been dedicated to providing hospitality to visitors of Itsukushima Shrine and guests from across Japan and overseas, allowing them to enjoy Miyajima's natural beauty and rich history. The traditional Japanese Sukiya-style rooms and Setouchi Kaiseki cuisine are among its highlights.

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.

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.

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.

From the Ajina Residence located on the highlands of Ajina in Hiroshima, you can overlook the Seto Inland Sea with Miyajima across.

In addition to the 22 rooms in the main building, a new accommodation, "Bettei Kikunoya," featuring 8 rooms, will grand open in Miyajima in July 2025.

Guestrooms surrounding a courtyard and a rooftop terrace where breezes flow gently soothe visitors' senses. It is highly recommended for couples or married couples seeking a relaxing stay. The main building features popular ocean-view rooms offering breathtaking views of the sea and the Great Torii Gate. Guests can also enjoy exclusive access to Miyajima's only footbath during their stay. Perfect for family trips or multi-generational stays, we welcome you with heartfelt hospitality.
