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 #### Keir 15 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Food was amazing.

Staff were nice but not that helpful. The room was lovely and basic as expected. The onsen were lovely ##### Stephanie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay 18 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We loved Iwaso. Spent one night in the main building and two nights in the new building. The staff were very friendly and most welcoming (we do not speak any Japanese). Highlights include the onsen (very clean and relaxing), the central location (near the hiking trails/shops/restaurants/shrines), and the food both at Iwaso and in town. This is a special place with special staff! ##### Jay ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary 2 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities An amazing experience. 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 #### Ulrike 13 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Iwaso is an outstanding, traditional, well preserved Japanese Ryokan with a long & old history, and was the highlight of our recent trip to Japan (family of 3, incl. 13 yo son and me who lived in Japan for more than 15 years). If you seek to experience real/ ‘old’ Japanese customs, e.g.: sleep on the floor in a traditional Japanese guesthouse, tickle your tastebuds with Kaiseki (multiple course dinner menue) and relax within an Ofuro (common bath for hotel guests) in an outdoor setting, the Iwaso Ryokan on Miyajima will take you back to that very special time 100 years ago. (To all novices to Japan, please (!) read through the guidance on Japanese customs the hotel is providing to really experience the traditions, show respect, and to have a most delightful ‘samurai-like’ time) We will remember & cherish our stay at Iwaso forever. PS: if you are uncertain how long to stay on Miyajima, I would recommend staying on the island a full day: there are many, many beautiful shrines and temples to visit, cute shopping streets that take you back in time, wonderful hiking possibilities with free roaming, wild deers, or a small beach for a quick dip (at least your legs) on a hot summer day. ##### Ulrike Stayed 2 nights in Jun 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Desire 30 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Il Ryokan IWASO è un'esperienza autentica e indimenticabile, immersa nella tranquillità dell'isola di Miyajima. La sua posizione, nel cuore dell'isola e circondata dal verde, offre un rifugio di pace. ​La struttura è comodamente raggiungibile dal porto in soli cinque minuti a piedi, ma per chi preferisce, è disponibile una navetta gratuita. La posizione permette di esplorare facilmente l'isola, godendosi passeggiate serali o mattutine prima dell'arrivo della folla di turisti. ​Abbiamo soggiornato nell'edificio storico, in particolare nella stanza 201. La camera era bella ed abbastanza curata, ma non nei dettagli che ci si aspetterebbe da una struttura di questo livello. La camera aveva un incantevole terrazzo che si affacciava direttamente sul bosco e sul ruscello adiacente alla struttura. ​L'esperienza del soggiorno è arricchita da diversi tocchi tradizionali: Vengono forniti abiti tipici per la cena e per muoversi all'interno del ryokan. Durante la cena, la camera viene preparata con futon. All'arrivo, viene offerto un tè freddo e in omaggio vengono lasciate delle borsette di stoffa, un gesto molto apprezzato. (Piccola nota negativa: Vista la caratura ed il costo della struttura, ci saremmo aspettati qualche attenzione in più). ​ L'Onsen è uno dei punti di forza del ryokan: pulito, ben fornito di prodotti e dotato sia di una vasca interna che di una esterna. Quella all'aperto, in particolare, offre un'esperienza sensoriale unica, con il rumore del ruscello. ##### Desire Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MASAKO 16 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 清潔で、スタッフの方の笑顔と親切は最高でした ##### MASAKO Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [MotelOne Hotels in Belfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belfast-Hotels-Motel-One.0-0-d6034919--bMotelOne.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Catalonia Málaga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malaga-Hotels-Catalonia-Malaga.h2570648.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Granvia Hiroshima](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hiroshima-Hotels-Hotel-Granvia-Hiroshima.h76855.Hotel-Information) > > [Dedalos Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malia-Hotels-Malia-Dedalos-Hotel.h55400050.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in West Byfleet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Byfleet-Hotels.d6143376.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Westin Valencia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valencia-Hotels-The-Westin-Valencia.h1497836.Hotel-Information) > > [RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hiroshima-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Hiroshima.h468619.Hotel-Information) > > [Saadiyat Rotana Resort and Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Saadiyat-Rotana-Resort-And-Villas.h21120875.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Hiroshima](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hiroshima-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Hiroshima.h3785625.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kennedy-Space-Center-Hotels.0-l6068737-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [APAHotels Hotels in Taipei](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taipei-Hotels-APA-Hotels.0-0-d180030--bAPAHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Torbräu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Munich-Hotels-Hotel-Torbrau.h525956.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Hiroshima RiverSide](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hiroshima-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Hiroshima-RiverSide.h27473943.Hotel-Information) > > [GreeneKing Hotels in Lincoln](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Greene-King.0-0-d4678--bGreeneKing.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [East Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eastbourne-Hotels-East-Beach-Hotel.h23138667.Hotel-Information) > > [Abba Sevilla hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seville-Hotels-Abba-Sevilla-Hotel.h69264454.Hotel-Information) > > [TuneHotels Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Tune-Hotels.0-0-d178279--bTuneHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Aqua Boracay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boracay-Island-Hotels-Aqua-Boracay.h35299219.Hotel-Information) > > [THE KNOT Hiroshima](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hiroshima-Hotels-THE-KNOT-HIROSHIMA.h48483168.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Hiroshima Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hiroshima-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Hiroshima-Hotel.h4165914.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Newcastle-upon-Tyne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Upon-Tyne-Hotels.d6084526.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Al-Aqsa Mosque](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Al-Aqsa-Mosque-Hotels.0-l501320-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Marmara Antalya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antalya-Hotels-The-Marmara-Antalya.h1315243.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Newark (EWR) to Buffalo (BUF)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ewr/buf/newark-liberty-intl-airport-to-buffalo) > > [Flights from Newcastle Intl. to SWI-All Airports](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/swi/newcastle-to-swindon) > > [British Airways Istanbul (IST) to London (LHR) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-istanbul-to-heathrow/ba/ist/lhr) ### Activities > [Things to do in Frome](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Frome.d4641.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### General > [Visit Menara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Menara.dx553248635975438294)
