Hatsukaichi hotels

Pros: 1. They have japanese style water facing rooms. 2. Excellent location. 60 meters from JR ferry

Pros: The breakfast was nice and the hotel is in a very nice location directly next to the ferry.

Cons: The rooms are a bit old and could be renovated.

Pros: This facility has large parking space. Location is excellent.

Cons: Facility is a little bit old.

Pros: Allow us to check into hotel at around 1 pm even though we are earlier than the usual check in time of 3 pm.

Pros: Loved everything about our stay. Was the perfect location as well for Miyajima Island and the train station.

Cons: That we had to leave so soon. Would loved to have stayed longer.

Pros: Very close to the ferry to Miyajima island and to Miyajimaguchi station. Very nice and helpful staff.

Cons: Uncomfortable pillows. Tiny room.

Pros: Very kind and nice staff! thank you very much!

Pros: Well, firstly, we got upgraded to a room with amazing view of the Great Torii Gate, but unfortunately the Gate is being reconstructed. The room is very spacious and very clean. I love the public bath that is available for guests and there is a good in-house store that you can purchase souvenirs and food items too.

Pros: Attentive staff from the pier pickup to drop off at departure.

Cons: Breakfast could have been better. Now sure why they offered us western breakfast. Surly I wasn’t asked or a choice was offered.

Pros: I was impressed with everything about this hotel: the clean and spacious facilities, the amazing staff, the numerous amenities and the exquisite food - do order your dinner in advance, it’s worth it!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Great rooms and onsen. Very friendly staff who will do everything to please their guests.

Pros: Excellent, comfortable rooms in a well located hotel close to Itsukushima shrine. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms had a lovely view of the bay and Itsukushima shrine. Would recommend.

Cons: I didn't find much information about the facilities at the hotel in the room. We ended up dining out instead of using the hotel restaurant because we weren't sure where it was.

Pros: Very warm welcomed and great service for everything Best staff Good atmosphere and mixed modern and Japanese room style Just 3 min walk from Itsukushima shrine Free shuttle service to ferry

Cons: None

Pros: Beautiful location beside the ocean overlooking Miyajima. Lovely lounge and bar in lobby with large windows and great sea views. There was an excellent piano player in the evening playing mellow jazz. Large rooms with comfortable beds. Nice hot spring bath. Really gorgeous 'rentable' private onsen baths. Free shuttle to/from JR train station and boat port to Miyajima. Perfect place to stay if you are driving and plan to visit Miyajima. Some staff can speak English.

Cons: Hotel is slightly outdated - but extremely well kept. When the hotel is very busy, the hot spring baths are quite crowded.

Pros: The staff are helpful. Hot bath is ❤️. Very clean. Room was upraded upon request. Free shuttle bus to and from hotel. The view of Miyajima island is best to look at from this hotel.

Pros: The little shop on site is cute and had lots of souvenirs and snacks. They also had a shuttle between the hotel and train station that was very convenient.

Cons: Nothing terrible to report, but pretty much everything about this hotel was 'meh'. The rooms weren't particularly comfortable. The breakfast was below average, though they did surprise me with a tasty pork belly benedict option. There's a (very short) night cruise to the Miyajima temple offered from the hotel for an extra charge, which we were excited about. Unfortunately no one bothered to mention that the famous torii gate was under construction and behind a big white screened box. The cruise was pointless since we couldn't see the gate at all. Had they told us, we probably wouldn't have paid for the cruise.

Pros: Great view on the lake and Miyajima island Nice onsen and breakfast view

Cons: I was extremely shocked and disappointed to hear that the Itsuku-shima on Miyajima island, let's say THE major and only reason to go there is under renovation and impossible to be seen. The hotel is totaly dishonest and never communicated about it especially regarding their cruise that they still propose to the guest to see ... the famous tori. If I knew I would have never been there now. Feel a bit fooled by the hotel...

Pros: Did not have breakfast.

Cons: Everything was good.

Pros: The hotel is very nice and in a fantastic location. Had a room with an amazing view on the sea and the Myajima Tori. The room had all Japan amenities, Japanese dinner very nice and breakfast European style. Did a private onsen with view on the sea. The staff was excellent.

Pros: The hotel had a great view, however location wise not sure. They do provide shuttle services but just until 7pm .

Cons: The room was very old and the tv was very tiny. The room looks like it hasn’t changed since 80’s and is in desperate need of an update!!

Pros: Location was excellent. Room was very good and big (we took a japanese style, with futons, Ryokan style). Onsen very much appreciated

Cons: Really poor English is spoken by the staff. It seems dedicated to japanese travellers (whih I do not criticize, but it's better to know it up front before booking). Continental breakfast was so-so. Restaurants are not adapted to non-japanese customers : one restaurant must be reserved before (but not easy to guess), another one is quite expenseive with many items. The shuttle is very convenient, but open hours are not adapted : apparently, nothing after 6 pm...and w/o the shuttle, you can be stuck at the railway station for a while ! You pay a sort of fee for onzen...even if you do not use them. Strange !

Pros: Excellent views of Miyajima and the Torii Gate. Size of room is huge and very comfortable. Good onsen on property.

Cons: The property is a little old and dated. But comfortable.

Pros: Near the market and the shrine in walking distance Lovely place Very nice staff

Cons: -

Pros: Everything it was such a great experience to emerse your self in Japanese culture. From the warm welcome the moment we arrived to the fantastic experience with our hostess Ayia. If you are lucky enough to have her as your hostess immediately you will have kicked a goal. Ayia just made us so welcome and had such great humer she was fantastic. Also the onsen was fantastic as it was my first time using one. And the location was just fantastic. If you're going to visit myrijima this is the place to stay.

Cons: The only thing we didn't like was the very unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom.

Pros: the rooms, the service, the food (especially the food!), the bath, the surrounding, the whole location - it is difficult to find something better

Pros: Nice typical ryokan. Good food. Good service.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The property was well located but outside of the Main Street so was nice and relaxing. The onsen was beautiful and a deer walked past when I was in the outside onsen. Food was traditional Japanese and very high quality. Breakfast was lovely in the breakfast room.

Cons: Nothing, it was a highlight of the trip and better (and cheaper) than the ryokan which we stayed in Kyoto.

Pros: Very professional staff, excellent services

Cons: Great dinner

Pros: This place is spectacular but it is definitely a very pricey experience.

Cons: On top of that we were also charged an onsen tax, which seems a bit out of touch.

Pros: 1. Friendly stuff 2. Amazing food (breakfast and dinner), we stay two days, dinners are different style. 3. Good location 4. Good service 5. Outdoor hot spring

Cons: None

Pros: Everything. The staff is exceptional, and the amount of care and attention to detail was beyond anything I have ever experienced. The whole stay was so good it made me want to stay longer.

Cons: The most I can think of is that the hotel has a midnight curfew, which actually doesn't even really matter because everything in Miyajima closes very early anyway. There was honestly nothing I actually didn't like.

Pros: Breakfast was excellent and room was very large

Pros: Very clean facilities. Staff were very helpful and always looked for ways to help out. Onsen was nice.

Cons: Was pretty far from the ferry terminal. Took a while to walk and was uphill. A bit pricey for the distance.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The breakfast and dinner were absolutely delicious! The staff were very accommodating and informative. The room where we stayed at is clean and spacious. Also, we had a free shuttle going to the hotel when we arrived in Miyajima and another free shuttle when we went back to the ferry station. It was very convenient. My best friend and I booked this hotel to celebrate my birthday in Miyajima. Hotel Kikunoya made my day extra special by surprising me with a birthday cake and a lively song while we are having dinner. It was truly memorable for me. I even cried because I was so touched. Thank you very much!

Pros: Staff was friendly, courteous n very helpful.

Pros: The staff was very kind and helpful. It was raining when I arrived. They drive me to dinner and picked me up. And they offer a free shuttle to and from the ferry terminal. Great public bath.

Pros: The staff is very nice and helpful ! The onsen is beautiful and quiet, one bath is outdoor and there is a footbath ...

Cons: The small double bed is very small : 120 cm

Pros: Everything from the welcoming visit to the fantastic breakfast with a view, from the dream rooftop onsen to the Michelin star level dinner. The staff is the kindest and most helpful, the cosmetic products are the best Japanese organic brand. I'm impressed

Pros: Excellent service, delicious foods served on trays.

Cons: The size of tables used to serve dinners and breakfasts for 2 persons is too large. And when covered with white table cloth, it gives an unattractive white expansive space. Cosiness of the dining room should be created with smaller tables, softer lighting and more appropriate music.

Pros: The staff treated you like a God. The beds were extremely nice, the onsen was beautiful with the outside bath. The food was one of the best that I have ever taken in my entire life and the view made it complete.

Cons: The room was pretty warm because the air conditioning was on heating. Everything was written in Japanese so I had no idea. However opening the window fixed the problem.

Pros: Superb location. I got a room with a fantastic Seaview. The room's interior design and decor are beautiful yet functional. Staffs are very attentive and friendly. Services are beyond expectations. Excellent traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner. Great variety of food made from local raw materials on the island. I definitely will come back and stay here again.

Pros: Friendly greeting. Great explanation of room and facilities. Food was fantastic. Location perfect. View from my room of the sea - beautiful!

Cons: Nothing to say.

Cons: Some long dark hairs on the floor in the room

Pros: Food is fantastic!

Pros: Great location close to the ferries. The hotel is so close (2') but it can be hard to be spot. The staff is so kind. We had the half board and the food was so great! Futons were already prepared (differently from other places) so that you can immediately relax in your room. Great breakfast as well (tried both continental and eastern).

Cons: The curfew is a bit too early in the evening.

Pros: The host is an adorable lady who would do anything to make you feel at home. The ensuite bedroom (Japanese style) was spacious and very clean. Amenities and cold water provided. I had half board. The 7 course meal/dinner( yes,7!!!) was sumptuous. The Japanese style breakfast was delicious. I can highly recommend this place, as it is also very close to the ferry and the town.

Cons: Nothing!

Cons: none, we stayied one night.

Pros: Great spot right by the ferry. Owner (Teppei) was super nice and very funny. He made sure to explain everything about our room and also how to properly eat Japanese meals. He also provides local sights on the island and what you should do in chronological order. We had a Japanese style room with private bath and partial ocean view, very clean and spacious. You can order western or Japanese meals, but our Japanese meals was excellent! You won't be disappointed with this place, great value compared to other high end ryoken on island

Cons: It's an older building and not very appealing from the outside, but the rooms and dinner are all excellent!

Pros: Wonderful owner and staff that made us feel welcomed . They were most helpful. Traditional setting with lots of personality. We had a lovely stay.

Cons: The people and the generous meals

Pros: The public onsen had radiation (radium) which kepted me warm all night. Also the sake tasting was pure evil, especially after the hot onsen and before dinner.

Cons: Earlier check in would be better, and if have onsen in room instead of normal water would be perfect.
