Nothing, it’s great

The food is outstanding and the whole stay was great. The hotel is quiet and comfortable, with a nice rooftop to relax and private Japanese bath. 2 mins from the main shopping street and close to all the attractions of the island. The staff is friendly, welcoming and genuinely nice.

I would say this one was the best accommodation of the whole trip. You could feel the traditional Japan without having the feeling that you are in a tourist trap. We really enjoyed exploring Miyajima at night and early in the morning before all the boats started to arrive and this hotel gave us the perfect opportunity to do so. We requested traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner and they were both amazing. We also used the onsen and it was great. And the view of the pagoda from the top floor was really beautiful. On the day we were leaving, we left the luggage for a while at the reception. When we came back, I had fallen down and had a wound in my knee and one of the ladies from the hotel went to find some alcohol and bandages to clean the wound, I really appreciated it!

Having to leave. Most places close very early.

We were able to experience living in a 300 year old home with the owner. An amazing property run by a lady who truly cares. The location is perfect. Recommend having her cook a special dinner.

Everything, communication before we arrived in Japan was very good. Lovely welcome from the host when we arrived, gave us loads of information redd GD adding the area. If you arrive on a Monday there is no dinner available. Loads of restaurants to go to, just be mindful everything closes around 6

The owner of the hotel were very helpful with our any questions. The location of the accommodation was wonderful and we surprised with the 300 years history of this Ryokan but the property is well look after and very comfortable to stay. It is a true Japanese style accommodation. My daughter and I would like to stay again next time when we visit Hiroshima..... Thank you to Okami-san for your great hospitality !!

We thoroughly enjoyed everything! The experience was truly remarkable. The host of the Ryokan was incredibly accommodating, polite, and friendly. Not to mention, her culinary skills are exceptional; both dinner and breakfast were of Michelin Star quality.

Absolutely amazing meals, both breakfast and dinner. Onsen was life saver after a hike to Mt misen. Futon beds were also comfortable enough for a good night sleep.

Very warm welcome and hospitality by the owner! Full Japanese experience with fantastic Japanese food and bath.

It has been one of the best hotels of my stay in Japan. The experience of staying overnight on the island is highly recommended because most visitors are only there for the day. The woman who runs the hotel it is very friendly and explains what to visit in Miyajima and in the afternoon she also warns you that the restaurants usually close early. She also reserves the time for you to take the private indor onsen. Taking a hot bath after climbing Mount Misen was very relaxing. The japanese style room was large with enough space to open your luggage and with a table to take a tee. The futon was very comfortable. The location is fantastic in the center of Miyajima just 5 minutes walking to the Itsukushima torii and 10 minutes walking from the ferry terminal

Amazing dinner and breakfast. Authentic Japanese cuisine. Lovely woman running the house

The property is gorgeous and so centrally located that it took us less than 5 minutes to walk from the ferry to it, even in the pouring rain. Likewise, the main attractions of Kawaguchi (apart from the hiking trails) are mere minutes away. But the real star is Yoko-san, the proprietor. She is such an angel! Her warmth and hospitality raises the bar even in a country that's generally considered the gold standard in customer service. I'd pick Ryoso Kawaguchi over a 4-star hotel any day of the week. You get the authentic ryokan experience on Miyajima island and I can't recommend it enough.

This is a cash to owner payment and totally our fault we completely missed reading that and assumed it had been paid with booking.com like all other other holiday bookings. We only realised after we were contacted after leaving. Felt really bad about it. Made payment from tokyo. I will read more carefully in future. Host was very understanding.

Our host was lovely. Gave us heaps of information about the area and attractions. Made us feel very at home

Fantastic hospitality. Yoko, the owner, gave me a map of Miyajima and pointed out her recommendations for sights and restaurants. The property location was great. One street up from the main shopping street. Additionally, the private onsen is a very relaxing way to end the day.
