HOTEL FORK & KNIFE Miyajima

The Hotel feels like an art gallery, with artworks displayed throughout, making it fun to explore. The Hotel makes generous use of wood and stone, creating a comfortable space, and the welcome and staff were very warm and reassuring. I was happy that the bathroom amenities were from uka. However, it was disappointing that the rooftop bath is mixed-gender and requires swimwear—I wanted to enjoy the view from the rooftop. I would appreciate it if there were designated time slots. The meals were also delicious and carefully prepared, which was great.

There were Takatsudo momiji manju in the Room, and they were pleasantly chewy and delicious, so I took a walk to Takatsudo’s main shop the next day. I was surprised by how many varieties of momiji manju they had. This Hotel is known for its excellent meals, and they truly lived up to the reputation—I enjoyed everything and finished it all. The staff member who served our meal provided great explanations and attentive service. Dinner consisted of 11 carefully prepared dishes, all of which were delicious. They also kindly explained in advance that any leftover rice could be made into onigiri, which I enjoyed later as a tasty late-night snack. For breakfast as well, I asked to have the remaining rice made into onigiri. It was a simple salted rice ball made with local rice and salt only, but it was exceptionally good. After checkout, I left my luggage at the Hotel and went for a walk nearby. When I returned, they drove me to JR Miyajimaguchi Station. Thank you very much for your hospitality. It was a Hotel filled with warm and kind staff members.
