The location of the ryokan is pretty perfect - a short stroll from the ferry port area, the famous Torii gate, shrine, beautiful beach, and shopping/dining district. Approaching the building facade, it is clearly a historic building in a neighborhood with wonderful character - and the interiors are a delightful blend of comfortable modern updates and classic ryokan style. My room was quite compact, but very nicely appointed with lovely smooth tatami flooring and futon in the sleeping area and other traditional furnishings - quite beautiful. The bathroom was fabulous - nice deep soaking tub, Japanese shower "wet room" style, super clean and modern feeling. State of the art bidet toilet. No ancient plumbing here! There was a lovely lounge/living area that I had to myself that evening that looks out onto a beautiful garden. Very classy and cozy overall. Breakfast was delicious - I'm a big fan of Japanese breakfast!

Futon are typically a bit too firm for me to sleep well on, but that's a personal thing.

Basically everything : its location, renovation (it has been fully renovated 5 years ago apparently, materials are beautiful, minimalist yet you can feel subtitle taste), especially the garden and living-room area on the first floor, all the amenities are perfect and clean. You can feel traditional Japanese vibes with a fresh newly renovated atmosphere. It feels like a contemporary ryokan. My dad was able to enjoy for his first time a traditional Japanese breakfast and it was a great experience. The staff also advised us several restaurants options for dinner, and it was indeed very nice places as well. The same staff advised/helped us with a ferry route between Miyajima to Matsuyama.

Nothing at all, it really was perfect. I want to come back. It is the first time I book a hotel online and it looks/feels better than the pictures !

This place was a perfect and an authentic stay in a ryokan. The hotel seemed to be freshly renovated. The appliances were of the highest quality and every detail was very well thought through. The interior of the room and the hotel dinning room with the little garden was exquisite. Although quite expensive at the time of booking it was well worth it. The location was also great, 4 minites away from the fast ferry stop (Hiroshima war memorial- Miyajima).

Nothing

Beautiful traditional Japanese guesthouse with 8 rooms. It is about a 5 minute walk from the boat terminal. The room was small but spacious and appointed with the usual Japanese amenities and lots of little special touches. The mattress was comfortable and thicker than a traditional futon. I recommend enjoying the sitting room at the end of the corridor on the first floor. We enjoyed a local beer that we purchased from the guesthouse in there. The host is very friendly and accommodating and provides information on the island. The breakfast was very nice Japanese style meal. It was also extremely clean - I have stayed at a lot of places and this was the cleanest by far, not a speck of dust anywhere. I highly recommend staying here.

This was a very peaceful, restful place to stay. I was surprised that I felt that way, but I did. Very different atmosphere from a hotel. My daughter and I slept like rocks in the spacious room. The traditional Japanese breakfast was absolutely incredible: delicious, varied and filling. The bathtub in the room was amazing: deep and huge and made of wood. I loved it.

Everything. Hosts are amazingly helpful. Very clean comfortable and Japanese style rooms. Excellent breakfast. Quiet and peaceful with the small sitting room and Japanese garden. Can’t get such value and comfort.

Nothing. Just send your luggage to next destination when you travel to Miyajima. You will love the convenience. Rooms will be small for people carrying suitcases.

I had a lovely one-night stay at Itsukushimahigashimonzen Kikugawa in Miyajima. The breakfast was great, and I especially appreciated the hotel's tranquil design, which created a calming atmosphere throughout. The petit garden and beautifully designed common room added an elegant touch that made the stay feel extra special.

We had a very nice stay at the guesthouse. The owners are really nice people and the room was great for a one night stay. Everything was clean and there were lots of amenities. The location is close to the pier and the convenient store.

We didn’t find curtains, only the white paper ones which allowed light to come through. That’s the only thing though!

Great service that was communicative in English. Despite some problem with reservation (that was my blame, not the facility's) they resolved it quickly and let me fully enjoy the experience of ryokan. The building is located only roughly 5-minute walk from Itsukushima Shrine with famed torii gate. The breakfast was outstanding.

Everything was perfect, nothing to complain about

The hotel is only a 5-min walk from Miyajima ferry terminal, making it a great base to explore the island. The room was cozy, comfortable and had everything we needed. Our hosts were professional and made delicious breakfast.

We could hear noises from the nearby roads but it wasn't a major issue.
