Itsukushima Iroha

Magnifique hôtel, onsen très sympathique. Mention spéciale pour la gentillesse de la personne qui nous a accueilli et expliqué les activités à faire sur l'île. La chambre était parfaite.

L’hôtel est magnifique les chambres sont fabuleuses

The Miyajima location is good although much better with a sea view . The hotel is comfortable without being luxurious , beds especially and a good wet room shower/ bath set up . Rooms are quit simple but very good . Free high quality toiletries abound but towels are pretty small - we would have traded fluffy and big for less freebies The staff are very helpful with good English spoken by the maitre d especially Public areas are clean and simple The kaiseki package is necessary and has a lot of food with many choices of main dish to cater to any need . Visually it’s lovely however even allowing for some different tastes I’d say the overall standard was variable , in particular the grilled fish and seafood was a bit overcooked. Some more flexibility over breakfast would help - we B left for an early ferry day 2 and even though our schedule was for a western breakfast it was not possible to give us some croissant or anything to go This is a good comfortable property - but not luxury standard as implied

I highly recommend this ryokan for the exceptional experience including great food, staff & room. My room was a traditional ryokan room with tatami matts but with traditional mattresses. It overlooked the the pedestrian street but was very quiet at night since most tourists visit Miyajima as a daytrip. The staff was gracious enough to setup a futon for me on the tatami matt so that I could sleep traditional Japanese style. Haruka at the front desk was amazing. She speaks limited English but enough to communicate with. She wrote me a very sweet handwritten note that I will keep forever when I asked where I could buy a yukata robe. I had asked her where I could purchase a yukata (traditional Japanese robe). The presentation of the dinner was amazing and worth it. The on-site onsen was was great and was usually all to myself. It has one indoor pool along with a small one on the outdoor deck that overlooks the bay and torii gate. Upon checkout, Haruka escorted me out which I believe is typical of a ryokan. It was sad to leave because of how memorable the stay was! The ryokan was expensive but worth it for the experience. I can't imagine visiting Miyajima only as a day trip. It would be too rushed as there's plenty to do for 2 days. Must sees are the torii gate along with the shrine surrounding it, taking the ropeway up to Mt. Misen (the top of the mountain is about a 20-30 minute steep hike from the end of the ropeway but I recommend it), and finally definitely do not miss Daishoin shrine which was truly amazing. Recommend avoiding Saturday & Sundays as it's very, very crowded.

スタッフの皆さんとても感じよく対応してくださいました。 広い部屋はモダンな和の雰囲気で、床の間に生けられた菊がとても上品。 歯ブラシ（馬の毛。６０年前祖父母の家で見た！）は次回の旅行に持っていけるケース入り、 ヘアブラシも久しぶりに大きいクッションタイプ。 アメニティの化粧水は五日分くらいありそうなうえ、パウチじゃないのでとても使いやすい。 お料理もとても美味しかったです。 と、ほんとによかったのですが、もっとこうだったらという面も… ハンドタオルが無い。 丸いお風呂は窮屈すぎる。 座卓と座椅子でリラックスできない。 いすもあるが背もたれが無く、つるつる座面で滑る。 丸いお風呂は五右衛門風呂（これも６０年前祖父母の家にあったわ！）に近く、 体を伸ばせないので窮屈で浸かっていられない。 と、いろいろ勝手なことを申しましたがとても良いお宿でした。

港から徒歩５分ほどの海沿いのホテル。厳島神社の大鳥居を客室から見られる最高のロケーション。館内１階は和・洋のレストランも併設されていて海側から表参道商店街を通り抜けられるスタイル。大鳥居を望む海側と，古民家がひしめく宮島ならではの街並みが見渡せる山側。 今回は海側のお部屋に宿泊。 １００平米のお部屋のほぼ中央にガラス張りのお風呂があって目隠しできる造りになっていて、本当に驚きました！！リノベーションされているからなのか、デザイナーさんのカラーなのか、お部屋が普通の高級ホテルとは一味違う！！ドライヤーのほかにヘヤーアイロンもついていてこれは良かった。アメニティーもクオリティーのいい物が置いてあるのでほぼ持っていかなくていいと思います。宿泊客の７割が外国人観光客のように見受けられましたが、カップルの記念日旅行にもお薦め！！客室には至る所にこだわりや、ストーリーがあり、日常を忘れる時間が過ごせるはず。お部屋ごとにコンセプトが違うようなので、ご予約時にはチェックしてみてください。お食事は本格的な日本料理が楽しめますし、スタッフの皆様はホスピタリティーにあふれ、心地よくおもてなしをしてくれます。英語に堪能なスタッフさんもおられました。
