We were greeted so warmly and with a great sense of humor. Despite some language barrier, our host was prepared to help us understand everything we needed to know for a fantastic stay. We really enjoyed the bath. After a few hard days of walking, soaking in the warm water was such a relaxing time. I slept so well that night on the futon. I had the Japanese breakfast and my husband had the western. The portions were perfect and absolutely delicious with plenty of food to get us through our morning on Mt Misen and wandering the markets.

The staff was amazing! The food was amazing! We didn't do dinner, but really enjoyed breakfast. The service was wonderful! They stored our luggage till check in and not only ordered a taxi for us, but brought us tea while we waited. The private baths were very nice. The room was comfortable and very clean. Excellent Japanese style hotel!

Being right by the aquarium, it is easy to find, but the location is quite far from the ferry dock. We planned on taking the taxi, but arrived during their lunch break. Walking through the crowded streets is no fun, if you arrive mid-day. We should have just found a place to rest and have a treat till they came back. Leaving by taxi was not only better than walking, but crazy fun to watch them negotiate the narrow streets!

We stayed one night at this lovely ryokan in Miyajima, and it was an excellent choice. It's at about a 10-minute walking distance from the town and the ferry station, with a beautiful surroundings and far from the noisy streets. The place is very well kept and clean, the rooms were spacious, with very comfortable tatami mattresses, and have a private sink and toilet. The showers are shared. Staff were very pleasant, and they prepared us an excellent japanese style breakfast, the best we had during our 15-day stay in Japan! If I ever visit again beautiful Miyajima, I would repeat my stay at Mizuhaso for sure.

The private almost cauldron like baths were amazing after a day of walking! The rooms were small but well equipped. First time with futons so it took a bit of getting used to. The staff were friendly, attentive and helpful as I wanted to sneak out early the next morning to take photos. Place is at the other end of strip once you get off the ferry but you get to wander through the shopping street and past the shrine on your way to the hotel. We were only staying one night so we sent our baggage on and only bought a day pack. Would recommend doing this so you;re not dragging your suitcases all the way from the ferry terminal.

Rooms are not he small side and futons were quite hard.

Our stay at Mizuhasou was amazing! The staff was so welcoming and nice! It‘s a 20min walk further down the island when getting off the pier, but the location is so much quiter there. Nevertheless it’s really close to the Torii gate and the Shrine. We got there an hour before check-in so we were given the opportunity to leave our bags behind. When we came back after a stroll our luggage was in our room already. We had a traditional Japanese-style room with really comfortable Futon beds. The bathrooms were next door with those traditional tubs to soak in. And the food! Wow! Just wow. We never had a ryokan-style dinner and breakfast but they gave us plenty. All fresh, handmade and local dishes. And really nice to look at. It‘s definitely worth it! Higher recommended!

Beautiful ryokan-style guesthouse, 15 mins walk from the ferry terminal so slightly out of the hustle and bustle of the tourist area near the terminal. Incredible traditional Japanese breakfast and lovely shared bathroom with huge bath tub! Very close to beautiful white-sand beach!

Make sure you know where this property is when you arrive as it’s not on the map of accommodation at the terminal building: it’s about 5 mins walk beyond the red Tori gate, just near the aquarium. Check in is 4pm, quite late! Asked for earlier check in but was declined.

This is a traditional-style Japanese hotel. Upon entering the room it was set up as a living room. While we were eating dinner, the staff set up the beds. Dinner was a lovely multi-course meal that neither my mom nor I could eat all of. Breakfast was similarly plentiful. I enjoyed soaking in the bath after bathing. The beds were comfortable. The location was away from the touristy area so it was quiet and calm. The staff was quite helpful and friendly. They called the taxi for us in the morning as well as called them back when it did not arrive on time. The staff was equally worried about us missing our ferry and follow-up connections.

The location can be challenging to find, especially at night. It is also a fair walk from the ferry port. While it was fine for us, this place is NOT wheelchair friendly as the rooms are upstairs, no elevator.

Fantastic stay - traditional rooms were spacious and very comfortable, private use of communal bath was a real treat (one of few times we could bathe together as a male/female couple) and both dinner and breakfast were delicious and wonderful dining experiences. Highly recommend!

Small, brand new, cozy ryokan. While keeping the beauty of a ryokan (small welcome sweet, tea, yukata, bath kit, etc.), this facility primarily for foreign tourists and makes efforts for their comfort. It's charming and very well caters to the global tourists' needs. - Goemon baths are very nice for the comfort of individual/family use, while keeping the traditional bath style. - Little shared space to eat, relax, chat is very handy.

Some rooms are quite small, although rather normal on a Japanese standard, but as it is so competitive to find a decent (and affordable) place to stay, this is a good compromise. But, as the number of hotel rooms are so limited on the island, it remains still rather expensive. - We asked for water (which was made available in the room, once checked in) but they would not want us to use their bathroom to fill our water bottles, which I found strange. - We did not get to try dinner because 'it was not possible that night.' If there are particular nights we cannot order dinner, it should be mentioned when we reserve, so that we don't pick the wrong days of the week.

The hotel is a short walk from the ferry, but well worth it. Our room was spotless, and the beds were very comfortable. I chose the Japanese breakfast while my husband had the Western option, both were delicious and beautifully presented. Honestly, the breakfasts alone felt like they were worth the cost of the entire stay. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to others!

That my stay was too short :(
