Top Quality Comfort and Location
Reviewed By SFbySailThe Miyajima Grand Arimoto has a perfect location close to the prime attractions, but away from the crowds. They graciously upgraded us from a standard twin to a beautiful western & Japanese suite. Everything in the room was top quality. They provided shuttle service to & from the ferry. We loved being in Miyajima in the mornings and evenings without the crowds.

Outstanding dinner
Reviewed By 978tatianahThe inn is perfectly located. My husband is Japanese so he checked us in and translated some of the staff’s tour information for me. We spent one night and I regret that we weren’t here longer! It was nice to choose our own yukata and my husband had fun exploring the owner-curated library. We did not have time to use the onsen. The Kaiseki dinner was absolutely delicious and carefully presented. I think 80% of what we ate was grown locally and the dinner included fish, eel, oyster, beef, Japanese vegetables, and more. Wow! The futon and pillows were extremely comfortable and they had a “pillow bar” which we did not use where you could select a pillow of your liking. We didn’t use this feature, but there was also some sort of smartphone in the room that you could use during your stay. I liked the sink area in the bathroom compared to other rooms we’ve stayed in in Japan. I would definitely return to spend more time here!

Luxurious and conveniently located, half board definitely worth it!
Reviewed By o1b4tRoom was gorgeous, very clean, huge and provided a lot of facilities. There is a small bar and tea area at the entrance of the hotel that's available to guests. Hot springs are located on the last floor and have a stunning view on the coast. Both breakfast and dinner were awesome: a lot of choice, ingredients were fresh and of good quality. There was western style and Japanese style options, everything was delicious! Drinks were included in the dinner, again, a lot of choice (beer, wine, sake, ...). As usual in Japan, the staff was very kind, nice and helpful.

Very substandard rooms
Reviewed By KI-NRTWe had high hopes for our stay at Iwaso. My parents stayed there in the 1960s, and spoke fondly about their experience, so my wife and I were eager to retrace their steps. I knew going in that historic Iwaso would serve as a time machine back to old Japan, and that there would be some compromises in the quality of accommodations as a result. We felt that the numerous sacrifices were just too many - we couldn't wait to get out of the room every chance we had. Iwaso is perfectly situated on Miyajima Island. It's right next to the entrance of Momiji-dani Koen Park, which is the where the ropeway takes people halfway up the beautiful Mount Misen. It's also minutes away from the Itsukushima Shrine (and Torii Gate) as well as the main restaurants and shopping area - everything worth visiting is just minutes away. There are 2 separate buildings; the main, classic section is the original one, and has a much more traditional atmosphere compared to the annex area, which is more modern (with less character.) In addition, there are several "Hanare" stand-alone cottages which are a short stroll away from the main reception building, and are considered to be the most charming accommodations in the entire property, and that's where we chose to stay. At first glance, our cottage was charming - it's located across from a small ravine, and surrounded by a forest that is filled with Maple trees. The room design and decor is equally (very) traditional and full of character. Unfortunately, it's way too much of a case of "form over function." First off, the room was tiny - I'm pretty sure it was less than 30m², which is inexcusable for a luxury ryokan villa. There was no closet or storage space for luggage, so by placing them in the main room, it eats into the already-miniscule amount of space. Most luxury ryokans offer a separate living and sleeping area, but not at Iwaso, which was very disappointing and uncomfortable. Typical, non-luxury ryokans usually have one room which is a combo living room/sleeping area, and at night they move the table off to the side and roll out the futons for sleeping. That's nice, but Iwaso does not charge "standard ryokan" rates. The layout was also super weird... the wash basin was next to the veranda and was located across the way from the bathroom and shower - a minor annoyance, but only added to the numerous inconveniences. Also, there was no privacy to speak of, at least when we visited in late November. The main walking trail to the ropeway was on the other side of the ravine, and we saw throngs of tourists hike along the path the entire time we were there, and views into our room were equally accessible to them. We had no choice but to keep the curtains closed, which only added to the claustrophobic feel to the room. Most uncomfortable of all had to do with the temperature in the room; there is no insulation to speak of; it was absolutely freezing, and no amount of heating was able to keep us warm. The heating is limited to the main living area. Any visit to the bathroom or shower will be even more unpleasant. Be forewarned that guests who stay here during the Winter months are likely to be in a world of hurt. Anything else? Unfortunately... yes. There was no internet in the room at all, which is the biggest no-no. It was partly my fault - Iwaso's website does clearly state that WiFi is not available in the Hanare cottages, and I failed to see the big text stating that fact. Oh, and there are no Onsen baths anywhere on the property. After the first night, we asked if we could be moved to a room in the newer, Annex building. Fortunately, they had availability, even though only standard rooms had occupancy. It was less charming, but more comfortable.... just a little bit. At 26 square meters in size, it was even smaller than the cottage rooms. There was better (temperature) insulation and more effective heating, but WiFi was slow and spotty, and these rooms did not offer the one amenity that made our stay in the cottage a tolerable one: in-room dining. All guests staying in the newer wing are required to dine in the main dining room, which we feel detracts from the intimate ryokan experience. All of this is really a shame, when you consider the great service from the friendly staff, the awesome location, and decent (but not exceptional) food. Regarding the food, there were great dishes while some were only so-so. We appreciated the fact that Iwaso put a great amount of focus on local ingredients and produce, including the farmed Hiroshima Oysters and Anago (Conger Eel.) We loved the Oysters, but the Eel was tough and chewy - Anago can be delicious when prepared in certain ways, but their presentation of Anago was not done very well, in our opinion. Also, the local beef pales in comparison to famed Japanese beef from Tajima, Hida or Kobe. We really enjoyed our time in Miyajima and Hiroshima; it's a beautiful place will lots to see and do, even though the famed Torii gate was under renovation and was completely covered up. Unfortunately, it pains me to say that we had a great time there not because of Iwaso, but in spite of it.

当館は江戸期からの古い木造建築です。
Peaceful, relaxing ryokan
Reviewed By OregonriversRyoso Kawaguchi is a wonderful traditional ryokan with amazingly friendly hosts and staff. We walked from the ferry both ways because the weather was nice and it was only a 10-minute walk, but the hosts provided their phone number to call for being picked up. Yoko Kawaguchi and her husband greeted us warmly, showed us our room, the dining room, and the private bath. The room was traditional, spacious, well equipped, and had a small balcony with a table and chairs overlooking a beautiful small garden. We signed up for the dinners and breakfasts with our reservation and were delighted with the delicious and varied meals, beautiful garden off the dining room, and helpful and friendly server, Kiyoki Kuroda. The dinners and breakfasts were as good or better than any meals we had in our 10-day trip to Kyushu and Miyajima, and we ate at several high end restaurants in Fukuoka. Kiyoki became our impish friend, making each meal both fun and delicious. He provided assistance and humor but never intruded on our privacy. Yoko was clearly in charge at all times, making sure our needs were met and providing friendly and helpful advice about things to do on the island. She scheduled our meals and private time in the Japanese bath. At the end of the day, the soak in the warm bath guaranteed a good night's sleep. We only stayed two nights and regretted not having longer to spend in Miyajima with our hosts when we left. We enthusiastically recommend this beautiful ryokan to anyone visiting Miyajima.

Peerless service, fabulous food
Reviewed By ea6leWhere do I start? From the moment we stepped off the bus - sent to collect us from the ferry terminal - the welcome could not have been warmer. The staff were uniformly amazing. You really felt that there wasn't anything they wouldn't do for you. We took the hotel bikes and cycled south one day - highly recommended. There is one big hill (but we pushed the bikes up that!) and then you've got string of beaches to yourself, some with little fishermen's shrines on them. The food was *amazing*. I uploaded a menu. Some of the best food we have had in Japan - and I have lived in Kyoto for 2 years. Don't be put off that its a 20 minute walk to the ferry terminal - the bus is available to take you there and back, seemingly whenever you like.

Molto carino e suggestivo
Reviewed By alessiogoofyThe place is so nice, and the owner very kind. A nice guy - probably his son - takes care of the welcoming, and gives suggestions on the activities around the island. The house is very nice with a nice garden before the door and a big hall at the entrance full of many suggestive Japanese decorations and statues. On the left a big room full of sofas and other decorations and also tourist guides in many languages to help the guest, with tv and tables, and also a kitchen with cereals and juices for the guests to be used. Stairs take you to the rooms where you can experience how a Japanese ryokan is, with short tables, cushions on the floor, big windows and bamboo walls. The room has a initial anti room with a small table and a wardrobe where to store futons and pillows, and a second wider room enough for three futons, with other two short tables, and big windows over the entire island, with two big chairs and a small sink. The toilet and the showers are shared though, and for the bravest there is also a bath with hot water where to relax (but I do not know how and how many times do they clean it). I loved the atmosphere ?
