“Miyahama Onsen”, the hot springs where you can view Miyajima

In Japan, we have famous onsen (hot spring) resorts such as Arima Onsen, Kusatsu Onsen, and Zao Onsen; but other than these, there are many hot spring resorts in region areas, as well. In the suburbs of Hiroshima city, there are also some onsen. Speaking of the hot springs that you can enjoy while viewing the sacred island of God "Miyajima", are Miyahama Onsen. (In some facilities depending on the orientation of the building, it is incapable to see Miyajima while soaking in the onsen, so please refer to the information linked for each facility.) There are not so many in numbers, but from casual onsen facilities up to luxury ryokan (inns), each is offering a unique and heartfelt service.
