Super helpful with my family, we came on a rainy night soaking wet, and the gentleman working that night was so kind to get us situated amid the chaos we dealt with coming in. He kindly did all our laundry since we were beyond tired. We felt so safe as a family staying here, and definitely got our late night rest. Food was so good as well, we didnt expect to be fed and were surprised with such good food.

The inn Is fabolous and has a great position near the main point of interest on the island. The dinner provided at the inn was delicious. The best experience in Japan

Lovely 3 person stay. Two spacious rooms with separate bathroom and toilet. Sushi dinner (absolutely fantastic, 12 or so courses across 2 hours) and hearty breakfast were highlights. Thanks for having us!

The room was in traditional Japanese style. The room was much larger than anticipated. My reservation included both dinner and breakfast. The dinner was fantastic; probably the best I experienced in Japan. The host spoke very little English, but we managed to understand each other. Very nice guy.

Staying at Shiomachi-An has been awesome! Nice room with all comfort you can expect from a typical house. Sushi dinner has been incredible, the best sushi we ate in Japan. The host that is also the chef is really professional and kind. Absolutely deserves a stay while in Miyajima!

True traditional Japanese house with small restaurant at ground floor and two bedrooms at first floor. The owner is very nice and caring but speaks little english. The experience was super nice though, with sushi dinner and japanese style breakfast. There is no real onsen but a private bath tub at first floor which also serves as bathroom for the guests (toilet is separate).

Exceptional hidden gem. Excellent location near Itsukushima Shrine; spacious traditional rooms with futons and quality yukatas, 2 guest rooms perfect for our family of 4. To top it off, the sushi dinner and Japanese breakfast were so good and memorable - the best we tried in Japan!

This hotel is exceptional - I would give it 6 stars if I could! The room was beautiful and traditional, the location great for exploring Miyajima (especially at night once the island was less crowded), and the sushi dinner was some of the best sushi I've ever had in my life. In particular, the staff went above and beyond in being extremely welcoming, accommodating, and friendly, and they made this the most special experience of our trip to Japan!

Needed a place to stay overnight prior to hiking Mount Misen in Miyajima and stayed at this lovely Machiya. It's not a traditional hotel but it was quiet and a great experience sleeping in a traditional guest room.The proprietor and his apprentice were extremely hospitable and the Machiya is also a sushi restaurant at night- which was delicious. It's also is a solid distance away from the more crowded shopping row in Miyajima- would recommend for the experience.

Our experience at Miyajima Guest house was so so beautiful. The lovely young man who looked after us was so wonderful. His English was superb and he was so polite and helpful. When we checked out we had unfortunately left our PC tablet in our room. The efficiency of the young lady, to get it back to us was above and beyond anything we have experienced. Emails, ph calls, messages and then she organised it to be couriered to our next destination. SHE apologized to us for not seeing it when we left. It was totally our fault. The room was so lovely, breakfast was yum. Our experience was 5 out of 5 stars. Thank you.

Amazing place to stay. If you get the chance to stay on the island try and get a room here. Service is brilliant and the island is magical and quiet at night

Very friendly and helpful staff (Lisa?). The decorations are cool and the washroom, though shared, is great. The room is a bit small for three people: when all three futons were opened and laid out on the floor, it was difficult to open the door. Also, the sink in the room was not very practical, though it looked nice. It was a nice place to stay overall for one night.

This is a traditional house that has been converted into a two-room guesthouse. The guest rooms are on the second floor, up a very steep stair, a “ship’s ladder” really. The owner and staffperson are extremely helpful and nice. There’s a shared bath and a separate toilet room upstairs as well. The rooms are ample and very traditionally Japanese. Sleeping is by futon on the floor (I asked for a second futon). A modest breakfast is included, which is taken in the entry room on the first floor. Laundry will be done for a small fee and returned neatly folded later in the day. The guesthouse is located beyond the main Shinto shrine, so away from the busy tourist area—a plus. You will end up walking back to the heart of the town to find the restaurants. All in all, a very pleasant alternative to the usual hotels and more affordable.

There are two rooms on the first floor accessed by very steep stairs. We stayed in the rear room. At night it’s super quiet. Both rooms are decorated in a traditional Japanese style, you sleep on the floor on a double Japanese mattress, with duvet and pillows. It’s not uncomfortable but for us (we are nearly 50), after 2 nights we were happy to get back to normal beds and chairs. There is a little sink in the room and you share the toilet and shower with the occupants of the other room, which was not a bother. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience, breakfast was interesting. The Japanese seem to enjoy soup for breakfast, but for us it was a little odd. We also had fresh fruit, yogurt and toast and choice of hot drinks. We found our host to be very interesting to talk to. So happy we stayed here whilst on Miyajima and this is where we had our “traditional” Japanese experience. Thank you.

Loved that I felt part of the community there on Miyajima. This inn had a traditional Japanese feel along with some western touches. Staff was very nice - even coming to pick up us late from the ferry the night we checked in when cabs were no longer running.

It was a fantastic stay! We don't usually stay in accommodation with shared bathrooms and we must have missed it when booking. However it was no issue at all. The guesthouse was spotless and well maintained at all times. We wanted the local experience with a room with tatami mats and low table and this place did not disappoint. It is less than 2 mins walk from the famous tori gate and close to a number of restaurants and shops. The days end rather early on the island, so we needed to change our meal times and have early dinners. It is however a great relaxing spot compared to the hustle and bustle of the large cities. Thank you for the staff for making our stay comfortable and memorable!

Our stay at the Shiomachian was lovely. The guesthouse is located in a traditional Japanese-style home in a quiet neighborhood near the Itsukushima shrine. We had the Samurai room upstairs which was elegantly traditional with tatami floors, low table and cushions for day use, and futons and comforters for night. The room decor was unique, classy, and traditional (and, yes, did include a samurai painting). Towels and toiletries were provided. Activity in town really dies down after 5pm when the shrine closes as most people only day trip to Miyajima. We loved having the town practically to ourselves in the evening, enjoying the famous torii out in the bay illuminated, sharing the quiet streets with deer and a few lorries, then to be right there in the morning as things were opening as well. Since we checked in well after 5, our hostess (after getting us a cup of hot tea downstairs at the cafe where we checked in) marked on a map what restaurants would be open late, so that potential minor inconvenience was taken care of for us. Our room also had a private sink and a mini fridge which we appreciated as the nearest convenience stores and grocery stores are on the mainland. Shiomachian offers breakfast for a nominal additional fee, though we opted for a late morning okonomiyaki instead. I would definitely want to stay on the island if I were to visit Miyajima again, and specifically at the Miyajima Traditional Guesthouse & Cultures Shiomachian.
