Overview
Spend unforgettable moments on Miyajima, the island known as “God’s Island,” floating in the tranquil Seto Inland Sea. Just a five-minute walk from the ferry pier, Miyajima Hotel Makoto welcomes you with the quiet charm of nature and the sound of birds in the morning. Wild deer roam freely near the property, and the iconic Itsukushima Shrine is only ten minutes away on foot.
For over 30 years, this ryokan has offered heartfelt hospitality and cuisine rooted in local flavors. Even if the building shows its age in some areas, the staff focuses on making your stay special through warm service and care. Every visit is guided by the spirit of gratitude and the hope that your journey will be one to remember.
