This was way beyond our usual frugal travelling budget, but we wanted the experience of staying on Miyajima overnight. As other reviewers have said, it's nice to be there after the daytrippers have left. We wanted to see the Torii Gate at high tide, low tide, and lit up at night. Ryokan Morinoyado (unless you want to stay at a... More

I have stayed here numerous times, by myself and as leader of adult and student tour groups. The Morinoyado offers old style Japanese hospitality with up-to-date amenities, situated by the pine woods on the edge of town. The location is quiet, peaceful, and quite lovely. It is convenient to hiking trails, and a short walk to the "floating shrine". The... More

Morinoyado is a great choice. It provides you with the experience of staying in traditional style accommodation. The rooms are... More

The room itself was very large and very clean. However, we did have to lay the beds ourselves, which might be a bit strange if you're not... More

This ryokan includes both breakfast and dinner in their room rate, with the choice of a Western breakfast. Breakfast is served in the inn restaurant, and dinner was served in... More

Good view from our room; excentric location, but nice for walks.

Stayed here in July, 2010 with my husband, and two boys ages 10 and 13. We had a lovely spacious room, delicious dinner including a children's meal served in a series of stacked plates like a pagoda and use of the baths (but also our own private bathroom for those who prefer that). Beautiful walk at night down to the... More

First, I'll start by saying I booked one night at the Morinoyado based on trip advisor recommendations, and was not disappointed. I researched all hotels available, and found this to be the most affordable. We arrived by JR Ferry about 5:30 on a Friday night. Miyajima was just starting to get quiet and darker ( we stayed at the end... More
