Very easy access to the beach - just watch out for the deer. While I was taking this picture a deer was going through my camera bag and heading off down the beach with one of my filter holders. A fantastic island for photographers and tourists in general and well worth an overnight visit if you're going to Hiroshima, as it's only an hour away, and free to get to if you're on a JR rail pass.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6123103/cee8bde0-05c9-4a29-aa35-fef130190b97.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Setonaikai National Park 1 min walk \- 0.0 miles - ![Itsukushima Shrine which includes a lake or waterhole and heritage elements](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6102564/2574c791-2866-4c0d-9fea-861d5c7b15c7.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Itsukushima Shrine 3 min walk \- 0.2 miles - ![Momijidani Park which includes a park and a bridge](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6102578/151626a2-fc6a-4526-ae3c-248b19f9d8ec.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Momijidani Park 3 min walk \- 0.2 miles - ![Five-Story Pagoda showing a temple or place of worship](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6222530/a9f568d3-ffa6-4f48-91c9-66f60e4acc77.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Five-Story Pagoda 4 min walk \- 0.3 miles - ![Miyajima Ferry Terminal featuring general coastal views and boating as well as an individual male](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6222506/8cb68887-da5e-4391-940c-d55b85fa7ac4.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Miyajima Ferry Terminal 11 min walk \- 0.6 miles ### Getting around - Hatsukaichi Kyoteijomae Station 14 min drive - Miyajimaguchi Station 25 min drive - Hiroshima (HIJ) 90 min drive ### Restaurants - 伊都岐珈琲 2 min walk - 宮島ブルワリー 4 min walk - Starbucks 4 min walk - とりい 2 min walk - まめたぬき 6 min walk ## About this property ### Iwaso Ryokan near Itsukushima Shrine Located close to Miyajima Ferry Terminal, Iwaso provides an indoor mineral hot spring (onsen), a garden and a restaurant.

Misen and the building itself and the surrounds are very quiet and peaceful. Full credit goes to all the staff at Iwaso, they make you feel very welcome from the moment you enter until you check out and provide very attentive service, without making you feel simply like 'another customer'. Dinner and breakfast were both very good, with the kaiseki dinner having an interesting menu of local seafood. The room was comfortable and well maintained with a good selection of amenities. Overall I highly reccomend Iwaso for anyone staying at Miyajima and will stay here again if I return. ##### Cody Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 4 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities absolutely loved my stay, from the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. The location is perfect — tucked into the trees near Momijidani Park, with a peaceful stream running right outside. Everything about Iwaso felt authentic and special. If you want a true taste of traditional Japanese hospitality, this is the place to stay. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean 19 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We had a great stay for one night in April.

This is a spectacular place for a stay on Miyajima. We arrived early and our bags were quickly stored. Check in was smooth. The room was large and had a beautiful view of the foliage on the mountainside and sound of the nearby creek. It was so quiet and peaceful! We had included dinner which was delicious as was breakfast. The onsen is magical. Everything about Iwaso was fantastic. Stay here for a traditional ryokan experience. Highly recommended!! ##### Denise Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ERIC 18 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Best part is you are steps from the shrine.

One of the highlights of our entire trip to Japan. Miyajima itself is extremely touristy and crowded, but still worth it for the views, shrines, temples, street food and the pesky deer. This hotel is a haven of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle yet only a very short walk from the action. The staff guide you patiently in etiquette for a Ryokan. Both the evening meal and breakfast are cultural and culinary experiences and the onsen baths were lovely. Sleeping on the futon and tatami mats was much more comfortable than I expected. It’s not cheap by any means, but I think it is well worth it for the overall experience. ##### Gary Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Douglas 11 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Expensive but Probably Worth It This is a very expensive ryokan in my opinion, but you're paying to be able to stay in Miyajima after all the tourists leave, so it's worth it. You can get a very nice kaiseki dinner, which if you like Japanese food, you'll like. It's heavy on the fish and shellfish, not surprising since it's an island, so if you have an issue with that, you need to tell them when you make the reservation or at least before you arrive. The room was a basic Japanese room. Really well appointed. My only problem was that it sounded like they were doing laundry in the room below me all night, but then in the morning, I thought maybe it was the plumbing? Who knows. It's centrally located to the shrine, so I got up at 7 and had the place almost to myself - which is the reason why you do this. ![Here's the reason why you're there!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7BD55E725FF8C2844262694AF67C7062C744E5B41731313024040.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Simple but pleasant](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5CBBBD21A55ABACE7B255B80B3095760020EAF091731313024234.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Opening dinner tray.

Iwaso was beautiful and the service excellent. The fixtures in the private bathroom in my room were somewhat dated but everything was very clean, and I really used the Onsen anyway - also, the historic/classic styling of the property was what I wanted. I didn’t find the futons particularly comfortable, but am used to western beds. But what I really felt like I was paying for here was location - a short walk to town, beautifully set right along the river. Could hear the stream from my room (which looked out into the trees, I was in the newer/larger building) and loved using the outdoor Onsen next to the water. And, the best part was being up late/early after the hordes of day trippers had left - very peaceful. It also made it easier to get to the ropeway right at opening and avoid the lines (property is along the path up to Mt Misen.) The more expensive lodging options looked beautiful and probably worth the splurge - just outside my budget. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3F66B83CACAA9A20E7DA5782A4D35AB2D5E6C0641732143459960.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3BA74CEFBB28D926E05F5DB23E3D196B9485CA361732143463584.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0011808399FCFF856918CF1326664957DF781ABE1732143461581.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/371FFDB022944245D01951FF21FFD3CC19350B171732143461032.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ashleigh Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart 24 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Premier Destination on Miyajima Iwaso is a tremendous experience, absolutely recommended in my book. The hotel staff were very helpful and attentive, making sure I knew everything I needed to to make the most of my time staying there. I stayed at Iwaso for one night as a part of a larger trip traveling around Japan, and the room I had here was far and away the most spacious and luxurious of any I stayed in during the trip. Iwaso is a short walk away from many of the main attractions on Miyajima (really short, we're talking sub-10-minutes). However, Iwaso also has a bus that can pick you up from the ferry terminal, which is a big help if you have any heavy bags. (I didn't, but could see how useful that would be.) The balcony in my room overlooked a remarkably calm forested area, with the sounds of wildlife as company while I sat and read. The balcony was enclosed, to prevent mosquitos and other bugs from disrupting your experience. The room also included instructions for the yukata (traditional pyjamas) and for using the hotel's onsen, both of which were very helpful for a foreigner like me who wasn't already accustomed to them! I didn't book dinner with my room, but the front desk staff were able to provide me with a map of the island with some dinner recommendations. And the traditional breakfast was a real treat, wholeheartedly recommended to get a taste for some new Japanese foods. ##### Stuart Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ronan 12 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A beautiful tranquil retreat with excellent Japanese cuisine and a warm Welcome.
