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 ...

Dogo Onsen, said to be the oldest hot spring in Japan, can be reached in about two hours from Hiroshima Port by high-speed ship and bus . If you take a ferry and a bus, it takes about 3 hours and 40 minutes; some of the ferry services are operated by a comfortable ferry called "SEA PASEO". It carries you to Ehime Prefecture in the Shikoku Region as if you were enjoying the wide Setonaikai (=Seto Inland Sea) National Park from a park on a ship. There is a space where you can lie down and relax, and also a space where you can enjoy chatting like in a café. (Café is not operated.) If you have enough time, I would recommend you to take ferry.

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. In the center of Miyahama Onsen resort, you can also enjoy golf-like sport in the grass lawn park.
