We had the ocean view, beautiful settings, large room, comfortable bed/pillow. only thing is bathroom is extremely small, public bath is very nice. Staff are very helpful and we really enjoyed their hospitality. They'll serve breakfast for 500 yen, worth the price. Definitely recommend.

The staff were wonderful and the hotel was clean and very convenient. The public bath was great. My mother said, if the room we stayed in had a kitchen she could live there.

LOVE Sakuraya!!
We loved this little hotel on Miyajima Island! It was so cozy and had everything we needed. Even the tiny shower had amazing water pressure and was so cozy and nice. Definitely stay here if you're a traveler on a budget visiting Miyajima Island!

The facilities are clean and staff are very courteous and proressional. It is in a business district so there are many dining options around. My only issue with the property is it can be a bit of a trek to nearby stations, but it is also a good walk to Minami district. Overall I am happy with the service, and would recommend.

We had a magnificent view from our room. The rooms were spacious and able to sit and enjoy the view. Very close to the ferry, easy to walk to and from the ferry with our luggage. Also all the major tourist sites are walkable and close to many restaurants. We were early for check in but the staff allowed us to leave the luggage in the hotel, while we explored the island.

Stayed here for one night. We had the best view of the bay. Its a smaller hotel but the people working here are very kind and helpful. Room was clean and spacious. We had a bathroom in the room. It was very tiny. But grateful we didn't have to share one like in other traditional ryokans. You can order a light breakfast for 500yen when you check in. There's also a bath downstairs. Would definitely stay here again.

Front staff was super kind & accommodating. Gave us family dinner recommendations and Niwa Cafe did not disappoint. Would have been nice if even a small continental breakfast was offered as nothing opens on the island before 9 am-not even Starbucks. Highly recommend you bring breakfast w/you! Large room fit the 5 of us & extra bathrooms at hotel helped.

Wonderful hotel by the ocean. Right next to the sea. There’s grilled oysters being sold in front. The room was clean. Futon was comfortable. Breakfast can be bought and paid for in advance. The staff was very friendly and willing to hold luggage for us before check in and after check out.

Great place to experience a traditional stay in Japan. Walking distance from the terminal. Downside a lot of business and restaurants shut extremely early. Limited dinner options on the Island, with everything closing around 7:30 to 8pm.

Better than the pictures
It is better that the pictures. Great location, great service, super clean. Lovely sea view. The place is a bit outdated but give you the chance to experience transitional ryokan style accommodation. Lobby could do with an update but the friendliness of the staff and location plus the Japanese room makes you super happy

Great location, helpful staff. Nothing wrong at all with this place…unless you’re like me, an old goat who is more comfortably accommodated with Western style bedding. Just a friendly observation that may be useful to any other uninitiated Seniors considering tatami bedding.

I like the Japanese style room. And its location is good for sightseeing. The only annoyance is that I stayed on 5th floor, where there is no lift. I had to carry my big suitcase to walk by staircase.

Great location and a very good deal
I have been to Miyajima countless numbers of times but this time I spent the night to enjoy the nighttime illumination. Sakuraya is in a great location and the pricing is very reasonable considering that.
View from Room 407 - one of the economical single “Mountainside” rooms still had a nice view

Very pleasant place to stay. The room was quiet and had tea and robes provided, and it was all spotlessly clean. The staff were so friendly and helpful - we were given an excellent restaurant recommendation for the evening. Breakfast was basic but tasty and good value. The onsen was a plus too. Definitely recommend this place to anyone staying on Miyajima!

Lovely small hotel very near the ferry terminal so you don’t have to drag your luggage too far. Very clean but basic hotel. A very nice touch is there is a small Onsen in its basement. Thoroughly recommend it .

Great spot and reasonably priced
Room was great and location was perfect. Desk staff was friendly and accommodating to our request to leave bags for a bit while we explored after checkout. Only issue was the air conditioning unit really sunk up the room so we couldn’t use it, and were overly hot all night.

位置絕佳且服務人員十分友善的民宿
位置在商店街與下船處中間, 從下船處走五分鐘之內即可抵達! 價格在宮島是相當便宜的選擇! 很友善的服務人員, 幫忙處理行李與介紹周圍好吃的東西。 房間很大，打開兩個行李箱後還有許多空間。 小缺點是房間廁所偏小，但是地下室有公共的澡堂可以稍微彌補這個問題。

I really enjoyed my stay at Sakuraya. The location is superb, only a 5 minure walk from the ferry and staff were very friendly. Amongst some very expensive accommodation on Miyajima this was a reasonable alternative. I stayed in an en-suite room with a futon. The room was basic but clean and had plenty of space except for the bathroom which was rather small. The lobby has vending machines and the hotel will store luggage before and after check-in. The hotel does offer the option of a simple breakfast but I didn't try this. I hope to stay on Miyajima again and would certainly stay at this hotel again.
