Miyajima Hotel Makoto

Hotel con habitación muy amplia estilo japonés con zona de comedor, recibidor… ducha separada del baño. Personal muy amable y onsen agradable. Está relativamente cerca de los lugares de interés ya que el pueblo es muy pequeño, pero hay una pequeña cuesta hasta llegar a él que si vas con mucho equipaje puede resultar cansado. No obstante, estancia muy agradable.

在碼頭附近，上一個小山坡，環境清靜，浴池不大，幸好人也不算多。早餐精美，部份服務員來自台灣，溝通不成問題。 酒店六樓房間可看到要害山宮尾城舊跡（嚴島合戰發生地），側望能遠眺大鳥居，景觀尚可。

Отель находится на приятной тихой улочке неподалеку от главной улицы на Миядзима. Отель довольно старый, но нам это совсем не испортило впечатление. Было не обычно спать вместо кровати на татами. На Миядзима все закрывается довольно рано- на первом этаже в отеле стоят автоматы с водой, холодными напитками, пивом, что было очень удобно. Также работает баня до 12 ночи!

一切都很完美

Located a few minutes walk from the ferry port and easy walking distance to Itsukushima Shrine and all the shops/restaurants. This was my first time in a ryokan/ryokan style hotel, fortunately I’d done my research and knew what to expect with regard to mealtimes and the facilities. The hotel is a bit on the old side, but that just added to the charm for me. I was in room 308 which was a Japanese-style single. The main room was very spacious, with a good amount of storage and even a large safe (with an actual key), which I was all very happy about as more modern hotel rooms I stayed in on my trip could not offer the same. The bathroom had separate rooms for the toilet and shower/bath wetroom and the counter level for the sinks seemed to be a bit low. The room lobby (for want of a better description) has a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. WiFi was fine (not much phone signal), I didn’t use the TV at all. In the cupboard/wardrobe there is a yukata to wear when in the hotel if you wish (which I did in the evenings for dinner). My booking had breakfast and dinner included, which was taken in a dining room on the second floor. Each room has their own table. No matter the meal it’s a set menu of several courses of what I believe has a lot of locally sourced seafood. To be honest I had no idea what most of it was (even after using Google Translate on the menu) but it’s all part of the fun! I ate everything that was put in front of me and didn’t go hungry. The hotel also has a sento (public bath) which while par for the course regarding Japan, maybe a bit unusual to a Westerner. Again, I knew what I was letting myself in for (please do your research on the correct etiquette) so I visited to both clean up and relax a bit before dinner. I found the staff to be very friendly and extremely helpful, with some on the front desk speaking prefect English if your Japanese falls a bit short. One day I had left quite early for the day and came back quite late and was addressed by name on my return to confirm my meal times, which was a nice surprise. Even though this wasn’t my first choice of hotel in Miyajima and it did take a little bit of adjustment regarding the whole ryokan experience, overall I had a great stay and had a suitably relaxing time. I would happily stay here again if given the option.

View from room was terrible as previously stated rooms ending in 11 to 15 you are staring at a wall and was passed of as mountain view To make it worse mechanical services are located right next to rooms ending in 15 so basically sounds like you are on a plane The so called vice managerHiramschi Minoru was completely useless and would only shift rooms for an additional 4400yen So disappointed seeing how much this place cost Would not recommend
