Hotel muy bien ubicado en el centro de Miyajima. Desayuno incluido (japonés, a nosotros nos gustó pero no es para cualquiera). Habitación muy espaciosa. Onsen propio, muy bonito y bien equipado. Personal muy amable, mención especial a la chica que nos atendió en el desayuno (Oomori) y a que nos fueron a buscar a la terminal de ferry de forma gratuita
Caro relación-precio, pero toda la isla lo es

Très joli hôtel
Onsen dans l'hôtel (Autorisé aux gens tatoués)
Le bain de pied à l'extérieur
La chambre européenne (Nous aurions préféré une chambre traditionnelle)
Les repas sont très bons mais certains plats sont clivants, on peut être un peu gêné si l'on aime pas car pas de choix possible

Un hotel excepcional, la amabilidad de todo el personal (recepción, limpieza, camareros...) es espectacular. Servicio de recogida en la parada del ferry, lo cual es importante (Miyajima es más grande de lo que parece). Recomiendo coger la opción de habitación con cena incluida, es una cena kaiseki deliciosa y es toda una experiencia disfrutarla, eso si ten en cuenta que cierran cocina a las 21pm, planifica tu llegada para poder disfrutar la cena o la perderás.
El hotel cuenta con un onsen que puedes disfrutar, y es una experiencia que recomiendo mucho.

The breakfast was wonderful and filling. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was very comfortable.
Personal bathrooms are small, however that seems universal across Japan so it wasn’t a problem.

Staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful. When our travel plans were altered due to bad weather, they helped us call our next hotel to cancel the reservation and gave exceptional advice on how to proceed. We were so appreciative of their assistance as we would have been stranded otherwise!

We booked a room with a view. Could see the Torii gate from our room.
Free shuttle service between ferry port and hotel worked out well for us.
When we got to the ferry port, we asked the lady at TI to call the hotel for us.
Hotel shuttle arrived within minutes.
We booked dinner (Kaiseki style) at the hotel and that was impressive and Japanese style breakfast did not disappoint.
Hotel very close to Daisho-in and the Daisho-in Course trailhead.

The staff could not have been nicer. They provided a shuttle to and from the train station, gave us a great recommendation for dinner, and were very kind while explaining how to eat the breakfast which was delicious.

Beautiful tatami room with covered balcony and view of the illuminated Itsukushima torii; very kind manager picked me up and delivered me back at the dock for the ferry to Hiroshima.
It was not possible to have dinner as you had to book day in advance, while nearly all restaurants on Miyajima island close at 19:00.

The property is in the heart of Miyajima, and would totally recommend Kikunoya for the location close enough to the shopping district but a little away from it, in a charming side street. We got the room with futon beds and half boarding including an amazing dinner and breakfast with seasonal, traditional dishes, and plenty of seafood. Charming staff, rooms were amazingly clean and well maintained, and restaurant were dinner and breakfast were served was too very charming. Special mention to the private bath for a relaxing moment, after exploring the island by night, so special and quiet when all the tourists are gone.
We absolutely loved it :)

The real Japanese experience. The use of a yukata that you can wear outside the hotel for photos. Very clean. The onsen is wonderful both indoor and outdoor.
Whilst the food was traditional and very high end, it was a step too far for us I'm afraid but it was amazing to have the chance of a real experience.

Western style room. Twin beds not tatami mat room. Standard small modular bath unit. Nice dinner and breakfast presentation but not in room. Great for families.
Not offered traditional tatami mat room.

Gave us an exciting experience of Japanese breakfast.
Wearing the Japanese costumes was another way to understand better the local culture.
Public bath was uneasy to me personally.

The property is about 10-12 minutes away(walking) from ferry terminal! They also have a shuttle but I’d rather walk and check out the waterfront and downtown before getting to the hotel. The staff is so kind and amazing. I arrived late and the front desk gentleman offered to bring me downtown to find an open restaurant for me to eat and so he did. Thanks to him I didn’t go to sleep hungry that night.
I loved everything about this property. I hope I get the chance to return someday!

My husband and I did 1 night on Miyajima Island visiting from Yokosuka. We checked in approximately 3 hours early, hotel offered to hold our bags until the room was ready, and then when we returned to fully check in, they had already brought our bags up to the room. It was an old fashioned key lock, which I was cool with and I also opted for the traditional Japanese style room with the dinner and breakfast option. Highly recommend, although I did feel bad for my husband as he's not too big into fish/squid. On my end, and for the most part his, the food was delicious. I did notice that if you book through the website, you can upgrade to beef for free, but I couldn't figure out how to input our names in Hiragana on the website even using Google. While we were at dinner they made up our beds as well.
Almost forgot, you also get to pick out yukatas that you can wear to your meal, or just around Miyajima while you explore and they offered to hold our bags until we were ready to ferry back to Hiroshima, just had to contact the hotel and they had a driver deliver them to us! I highly highly recommend this hotel. Other things to note, while there is was a male and female onsen, we haven't worked up to using those yet and we opted on having a room with a private bath so I can't speak to that.
The only downside I can think of were the lack of certain key amenities. You get to choose certain ones when you check in, like toothbrush, comb, etc. but there were no washcloths and/or loofahs. There were towels and slippers though. All in all, that was the only negative but still the positives greatly outweighed that one negative.

This was my 3rd stay at the hotel. Just keeps getting better. Right on the edge of the primeval forest, lots of deer, and they have a shuttle to take pick you up and drop you off at the ferry. Relaxing outdoor onsen
Absolutely no complaints

The Kaiseki (Ryokan meal) was exceptional, cooked by Junko Kikugawa the landlady. From when we arrived, the driver, Itou-san, was very friendly and welcoming, making an effort to speak in English with us. The restaurant service staff, Tanaka-san and Mori-san, gave us excellent service, smiling and welcoming throughout our stay. It was like going to a friend's house for a meal. There was also a Nepali lady amongst the service staff who spoke excellent English and Japanese, serving with the same friendliness. Sorry, we forgot her name. The front desk staff were also very helpful. Despite the close distance from Miyajima's attractions, the hotel was in a very quiet neighbourhood, allowing for a peaceful stay. Overall, we really enjoyed our ryokan experience and would love to come back again.
The twin sharing bed was a bit small for two adults.

Response by online staff prior to arrival was v efficient.
On check in day, we arrived later than expected due to miscalculations while in Hiroshima. Was nervous about being locked out at Kikunoya. It is about a 20 min walk to the hotel from the Miyajima Ferry Terminal. Upon arrival, an elderly concierge greeted us. A short while after check in, we realized very few of the restaurants were open anymore. He so kindly offered to drive us around the ferry terminal area to ask one by one of the restaurants if they could accomodate us. Even after we accepted our dinner-less fate, he made one last stop to ask and voila! It was open! We had a simple and comfortable dinner. He even offered to stay and wait for us but we said we could walk back. Truly exceptional service. Throughout our stay there, every single staff member was smiling and helpful even if they could not speak much English.
On check out day, there was a driver who sent us to ferry terminal for free.
The indoor onsen was small, but alright. A small outdoor onsen was also decent. They did not have big towels for after shower, but that was OK. Small towels were still provided.
Room we got was small - 10 square metres but there was an attached bathroom and toilet. Everything was spotless and everything work.
Location wise, turn right from entrance of hotel to walk up to ropeway access to top of Mt Misen. Please don't attempt to climb to top, take the ropeway. Even the easiest climb (daishoin path) was no joke.
I highly recommend this place for its excellent service and great staff attitude. Thank you so much Kikunoya for making our stay so lovely and memorable!

7.0
Staff was very friendly.
As a solo Traveller I decided to stay in a small, comfy room because I don’t need much space. Sadly, it seemed like it didn’t get the attention it deserved since I kept finding spiderwebs in the corners.
I might be nitpicking here but there is another detail that made me sad:
during breakfast I watched staff setting the table for other guests that would arrive for breakfast. They put great afford into arranging everything neatly. that was the moment when I realized, that they hadn’t done it for my breakfast since I had arranged everything for the photo I took of my meal.
