Iwaso recensioner

Everything was great. Wonderful location and staff

渡口有小巴接送，酒店就在紅葉谷公園入口，門口就有小溪庭院，隔壁就是通往公園纜車的免費巴士，走到嚴島大社僅需3分鐘步行距離，太適合扶老攜幼入住。 酒店歷史悠久，牆上掛滿名人到訪照片。泡温泉時還能偶遇小鹿。工作人員態度熱情英文ok，客人以老外和長者居多。放心去住不會踩雷~ 注意不能穿着浴衣去嚴島大社哦！

地點絕佳，早餐晚餐獨特，可以體驗日本的精美飲食，榻榻米的房間和温泉可以體驗日本的獨特風情。

Good ryokan with traditional Japanese fare for dinner and breakfast. Good service and a lovely place. I found it a little underwhelming for the price we paid which is the only reason for deducting a star. But still a nice experience overall and great to stay on Miyajima Island and beat the crowds by visiting the key sites in the early AM.

Fabulous location and friendly helpful staff BUT food was a disappointment. It completely lacked in flavour or any taste whatever. Some of the tiny dishes presented ( all beautifully presented) were of an unpleasant consistency, in many cases quite slimy. Wasn’t good. Room was just okay. Onsen was good. So all in all just okay for one or two nights but very expensive for what it is regrettably.

I wanted to experience Miyajima at night and it was the complete right call. We came from Tokyo in the morning and easily transitioned from the Shinkansen to the local train to the ferry. The ferry is a nice way to wind down and approach Miyajima. The ferry building called Iwaso to come pick us up. The van took a circuitous route up into the mountain then down to Iwaso. The location is perfect however because we walked to the Tori gate at low tide and also Dasho-in before dinner, walked to Tori gate at night in the high tide quiet moonlight and Dasho-in in the morning. Dinner was overly filling but a great experience eating in our Yakatas. I went to the Onsen and was the only one there. Loved the waitress who also checked us in.

First time in a Ryokan and we loved everything about it. The whole experience is fantastic and the surroundings are amazing. This is the right place if you want peace and quiet and good and curated food. The whole staff is kind and gentle which welcomes the guests with a smile and explains how the Ryokan works. The dinner (wearing a Yukata) was scrumptious and so was the breakfast (savoury) that is one of the best so far. The Ryokan holds an Onsen that we experienced which healed my sore feet. When we’ll be back in Miyajima, we’ll probably book the same spot.

This place was AMAZING. I have stayed in many Ryokan over the years and this was the most authentic and traditional I have been to while also being luxurious. I highly recommend this Roykan for a place to stay on Miyajima. Treat yourself and book it!

Fantastic location and decent food, the building itself was nice but the room was basic and seems (like all ryokans) to take the attitude that it’s traditional so we don’t need to make an effort. If visiting Japan stay one night in Ryokans otherwise stick to western style hotels. The staff we very pleasant but not worth the cost

Amazing food and a traditional Japanese experience but it is disappointing that the staff in general lack charm and warmth. Not at all friendly and as they barely whisper it is difficult to hear them behind the thick face masks. Would come back but only for the food

Beyond excellence. Our first contact with Iwaso was perfect, they assured us by email that they could cater for our dietary restrictions (we are a celiac and a vegetarian). When we arrived at the port, we called Iwaso at the information point and they picked us up in a private vehicle. All the staff were friendly, willing to help and efficient. When we checked in, they took our luggage to our room. Then, they served us some green tea and local pastries and explained the operation of the hotel (timetable for dinner, breakfast and onsen, how to wear a yukata...). While we were having dinner, they put the futons in the room. The room exceeded our expectations, we had a view to the nearby nature reserve, surely even more beautiful in autumn (there were momiji trees everywhere). The onsen was fantastic. We went at night and it was almost empty. We spent the most of the time in the outside pool, next to a river. Absolutely relaxing and quiet. Also, if you want to try traditional food, this is the place to go. We had 9 dishes for dinner and 11 for breakfast, very different from anything we had eaten before, and adapted to our dietary needs. In short, we would like to repeat the experience.

We traveled in a party of 4, with 2 adults and 2 children. The ryokan is excellent, but I used previous ryokan experience in Japan (Takayama, Shirakawa, etc) as a reference to my grades. The GOOD: extremely polite and helpful staff. Location in the woods, a 10-minute walk from Itsukishima Shrine and the ropeway. Impeccable cleanliness and organization. Food in dinner and breakfast were very good, with amazing presentation (they serve fixed courses included in the price). Onsen (common) was also good and highly recommended - they explain etiquette and how to use. The OK: room was comfortable and we slept on the tatame (they make de futton beds for you during dinner). The "BAD": all in all, this ryokan is extremely pricey, since it's located in an island with few options and has historical value. The experience is good, but we expected more.

You must stay here! The natural beauty of Miyajima is perfectly accented and accentuated by this classic hotel. Being in the outdoor onsen bath looking into the woods is one of our favorite parts of this whole trip.

Nous avons apprécié ce ryokan ou le cadre est magique et le repas fut une expérience unique Les plats succulents et de qualité La chambre avec son tatami et service très classe Si vous voulez connaître un fois un ryokan faites celui ci Et le matin la nature avec peu de monde dans l’île pour visiter le tori un must
