Hiroshima & Miyajima with Itsukushima Shrine & Ferry
"This was perfect for us. It was walking distance to the base. The staff were very helpful and patient with us. The beds were very comfortable. The room was bigger than the pictures. We will definitely stay again if we ever return to Japan."
"Really great stay in Miyajima! The hotel was clean and quiet, with all the amenities provided, including yukata and sandals. The hot bath was good and the food was amazing and plentiful! The staff were also incredibly helpful in accommodating one of our children's allergies, which was a great relief. I would definitely recommend this hotel."
