Hiroshima Days - Be a local

For 120 years, Kinsuikan has been a part of the history of Miyajima, as it continuously considers how a ryokan should be to meet changing times. The Kinsuikan is a ryokan that helps you make memories of your trip in Miyajima. It stands facing the sea, right in the middle between getting off the pier and on the way of visiting Itsukushima Shrine. Looking out over the sea, you can see the Otorii gate of Itsukushima Shrine to the west, and this makes you truly realize that you are in Miyajima, while relieving the fatigue of your trip. It is also a good idea to purify yourself in one of the few Onsen on the island before visiting Itsukushima Shrine. -  History -  Onsen (hot springs) -  Guest Rooms -  Cuisine -  Tips for a relaxing stay -  Extra information -  Access -Reservations History Kinsuikan was built in 1902 as a ryokan (Japanese inn) along the seafront with a view of the Otorii gate of Itsukushima ...

This is one of the few Western-style hotels in Miyajima Island with Japanese touches. While the rooms have the classic bed style, you can take off your shoes in the style of a Japanese house and relax on the wooden floor. When you arrive at Miyajima and walk out of the ferry terminal, the brown building you see on your left is the Miyajima Villa. It welcomes guests at the entrance to Miyajima. Leave your heavy luggage behind at the hotel as soon as you arrive at the island, and head out for sightseeing lightly. Needless to say, Miyajima is a tourist destination registered as a World Heritage Site, and there is not enough time to enjoy all of the historical buildings, nature, shopping, and gourmet food, but there is also plenty of hospitality for guests to have a special time at this Miyajima villa.
