Homestays in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

The hosts at this Ryoken are so welcoming, friendly and helpful! They picked us up from the ferry terminal when we arrived and dropped us back there on departure. This was crucial as we would have otherwise struggled with our suitcases up the hills and through the labyrinth of small streets! The location is a little bit away from the central area, but that is what we wanted. It was so peaceful at night, the deer wandered past our the front as we relaxed in the open air footpath. The food was nothing short of excellent. They specialise in seafood dishes so if you have an allergy it would be important to let the hosts know before you arrive. The rooms were simply and elegantly appointed: we had everything we needed. The onsen onsite was fantastic! After a long day of walking we felt very relaxed afterwards. Thank you so much to the hosts for making our stay on Miyajima unforgettable!

The environment is clean and tidy. The service staff are friendly and speak good English. Some rooms have direct views of the sea. I suggest you share the room with other people, otherwise it would be painful for me to pay HKD 1,000 per night.

The location was good, but it was quite far from Miyajima Pier, so I thought it would be inconvenient to not have a shuttle car, but as the hotel staff advised, I contacted them before boarding the ferry, and they arrived quickly. I was grateful that you were waiting for me when I did. The roads were narrow and could only be used by experienced drivers, so we were provided with a courtesy car for both trips. Thanks to the appropriate advice from the hotel staff, we were able to enjoy both the ropeway and the aquarium as planned. The toilet in the room smelled a bit, but the air conditioning in the room was comfortable, and the hot spring in the public bath was clean.

I stayed here solo and absolutely loved the experience. The location is super convenient—just a few minutes’ walk from the station, which made day trips and late arrivals stress-free. The hostel has a warm, minimalist Japanese aesthetic, and the common area is cozy and social without being noisy. Staff were friendly and spoke good English, and the check-in process was smooth. The dorm beds had privacy curtains, reading lights, and lockers—perfect for solo travelers. Everything was clean and well-kept. Highly recommend if you’re traveling alone and want both comfort and convenience.

Good location,near to the coin car parking because no car parking available in the hotel. This is a perfect place for family,the hotel is so comfy and wide. we enjoyed so much and for sure we will come back again.

The counter attendant is fluent in English, the room is traditional Japanese decoration, the view is very beautiful. Although the room has a place for luggage, it is recommended to lock the luggage at the JR station and carry a backpack up the mountain considering the journey up the mountain. Disadvantages, the shared shower room has only two grids, you may need to wait in line, the quilt mattress will be slightly more dusty, the room is poorly soundproofed and other Japanese old building problems. But the CP value is very high for the scenery at this price, it is worth experiencing for one night.

This is a great hostel. The staff are super friendly and helpful. They speak good English and there are many other solo travelers that come here. I met some great people. There's a kitchen too that's well equipped. The bedrooms are also very spacious and comfy. My only downside is being woken up at 10am everyday as the staff come in to clean the rooms from guests that have checked out.

As the only option on the island, although the hotel is quite historic, it offers quality services and well-maintained facilities. Both breakfast and dinner are Japanese buffets, and I think the taste is pretty good. The hotel also arranges special activities, where you can watch sea firefly at night. Although you don’t go to the beach, it is still quite special. Rabbits can be found all over the island, especially near the hotel, where you can see them even from your room.

Good place and near to the convenient stores.The place is so perfect for the family.my kids enjoyed the projector,but there is no elevator.we carried our big luggage going to second floor.No free car parking but have a nearest coin parking.check out time is so early 10am.I suggest to make it 11am because some of the guests have a kids hard to wake them up early,especially if you are a tourist.

Everyone of the employees will respond very comfortably, and in a good sense, if you don't want to interfere, watch over gently and follow with casual service. I didn't eat dinner, but the breakfast was a delicious and varied buffet. I was also happy with the service of yukata where you can choose the color pattern and the service where you can always have hot drinks.
