Miyajima Morinoyado

The location was very quiet surrounded by nature and deer but only a few minutes away from the centre. Staff was exceptional friendly and helpful and the service during breakfast and dinner was excellent. We got a beautiful japanese room which was very cozy and comfortable. The food was absolutely outstanding. It was exceptionally good, of the highest quality, fantastically presented and really impressed us. Unfortunately we were only here for two nights but next time we will stay longer. We will definitely come back and highly recommend this accommodation.

Great Hotel to stay on Miyajima and to experience the island particularly in the morning with fewer tourists (in the evening there were still many people on the island rather long). Technically a stay on the island itself is not necessarily needed, as the ferry services (~10min from Miyajimaguchi) start quite early in the morning already and you could also stay close by the ferry terminal there. I stayed on the island primairliy to see the sun rise there, which depending on the time during the year might be outside the ferry schedule... for such a case this hotel is great. The hotel has a nice onsen, which you might need to use as some rooms dont have private showers. The staff was very friendly and very keen on somehow compensating me for missing out on breakfast (although booked) because I had to leave right at breakfast starting time for the sun rise. I was e.g. offered to take some pre-packed buns from the shop as replacement at least - so great service and staff that cares.

Pick-up service is super convenient. The location of the hotel is great, so close to the temple. Many people come from long distances, but it's only 5 minutes away from this hotel. Room was superb, typical Ryokan experience. The futon was nice. Onsen was convenient. Prices in the market were fair. Dinner was definitely the best. I have stayed in 4 ryokans this year, but the food in this one was SUPERB! Staff in the dining room was so friendly and polite. I will definitely come and stay in this hotel again and again in my life.

We had an amazing stay here. The location was quiet and well located. Although the hotel is a bit older, it’s extremely well-maintained and full of charm. Our room was beautiful, and the futon beds were much more comfortable than expected. We also loved the comfy yukatas provided. The public bath/onsen was small, but we had it all to ourselves when we went, which made for a peaceful experience. The included dinner and breakfast were fantastic! We requested a vegetarian meal for one of us before arriving, and it was no problem at all - the vegetarian menu was just as varied and delicious as the standard one. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. After check-out, we were able to leave our luggage at the reception for a few hours. When we picked it up, they even offered us a free taxi ride to the ferry terminal.

The hotel is situated away from the port in a quiet area just opposite the aquarium. You can see the sea from your window. We had a very nice walk towards the temple/gate in the evening after dark with hardly a person to see. Japanese kaiseki-style dinner and breakfast served at the table and was tasty. Not many options for those who would prefer western-style options, though. We requested for no meat for one of us before arrivign and that was taken into account no problem. This is a traditional japanese inn, the room was comfortable with pull-out sofa for the third person, and good value.
