Yamaichi Bekkan

Absolutely wonderful family owned and operated hotel seconds from the pier of Miyajima. Breakfast and dinner are fantastic. The son is the chef and we had great conversations about the history of the island and about locally sourced products for his dishes. Rooms are clean with a nice view. Very recommended and will def come back!

Absolutely gorgeous place and the nicest owner! Rooms are cozy and clean. Air conditioning is working perfectly even in this scolding hot summer. The food is amazing! We highly recommend to try both dinner and Japanese breakfast, it is wonderful! Overall this place is very peaceful and gorgeous. Try to stay at least for 2 nights! Thank you so much for your kindness and care, we will try to return next year!

Thanks for the hospitality, we enjoyed our stay very much. The owners are very kind, helpful and can communicate in English. Delicious food, excellent location (very close to the piers), highly recommended for a short stay in Miyajima :).

Amazing stay, amazing service! Super personalized and the food was some of the best we had in Japan! Totally worth the ferry ride to Miyajima. This small island of 1400 people has so much to offer… a hidden gem!

We stayed at the Yamaichi Bekkan for 2 incredible nights and were treated like family from the start. Shinko, our hostess was so welcoming, warm, and genuine. Our chef, Teppei, explained the beautifully prepared, incredibly delicious, many-course meals and the local ingredients. Both Shinko and Teppei were so fun and engaging to talk with and learn from. Our room was clean, beautiful, and bright. The location was wonderful, just across the street from the ferry and only a 10-minute walk past a bunch of shops to the Otorii Gate. The best part of the experience was getting to know Shinko, Teppei, and the server, Yoko. Their warm smiles and conversation every time we came in the door made us feel right at home. The meals were also absolutely exceptional, and we were so happy to have both breakfasts and dinners there. Teppei described each course with passion and enthusiasm, not only listing ingredients and cooking methods, but with personal stories of favorite Japanese customs. The dinners were elegantly-presented, delicious, and changed from one night to the next. For example, one dinner included seafood chowder, sashimi, dumpling soup, rolled egg omelets, beef, tempura vegetables and seafood, miso, and cheesecake. They also checked with us about dietary preferences and would have adjusted appropriately. We can't recommend this hotel any higher. We connected with the people there and the location so comfortably and so easily. We did not want to leave.

We stayed at the Yemaich Bekkan in May 2024 as part of our Honeymoon. We absolutely loved this hotel and its amazing management and staff. We spent 3 weeks travelling around Japan and this was one of our favourite hotels due to the wonderful hospitality and the amazing food. We were made to feel very special, we were so sorry to only be stopping for 2 days. I can throughly recommend staying at this hotel. If we ever go back to Japan, the Yemaichi Bekkan will definitely be on our list to visit again.
