Kinsuikan

食事が美味しく、スタッフの方のサービスも良かったです♪ラウンジの飲み物やアイスが無料だったり、枕が選べるようになっていたり、小さいながらも温泉があったり、また、泊まりたいホテルでした。

非常喜歡錦水館。 訂了一晚海景房，房間大，環境好，有大沙發和按摩椅。 頂樓五樓有超好view的露台，以及各種免費飲料冰激凌等。 酒店一泊二食的兩餐很好吃，值得一試。晚餐在房間內用餐，早餐在一樓餐廳用餐。 除此之外，免費大温泉和體驗的私湯都很舒服，如果有自然景觀就更好了。

The staff are amazing. Our plans had changed slightly so we needed to leave early and we were prepared to miss breakfast to take the early ferry. However, the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. They opened the restaurant early and had a car waiting to get us to the pier. They really did go above and beyond 😀 We had a semi open air room which was fabulous. With fully stocked fridge and large private onsen. The meal served in the room was fantastic. It isn’t cheap, but what an excellent Japanese experience.

Miyajima is awash in daytrippers in part because it merits only a day trip, in our view. We had poor/cold spring cold weather in late March, so we did not use the much-heralded rooftop lounge, though the ice cream, mini-beers etc. remained on offer. The Japanese tatami-mat-and-futon sleeping arrangements did not make for a good night’s sleep, although the kimonos guests use during their stays were the highest quality of any we’d been given in Japan. The room seemed to need a deep clean, but had a nice view (as we requested) and good shower. The by-reservation soaking tub was enjoyed. The

A first rate Japanese experience complete with robes, slippers, hot mineral baths, traditional Japanese breakfast, slipping on the floor mats/mattresses. Great rooftop bar with harbor views and free drinks and ice cream. Great location in the center of town on the waterfront. 1) this town has few overnight guests and the bulk of the visitors are day trippers via mainland ferry. The town absolutely closes up by 6:00, not a single bar or separate restaurant remain open. The only places for dinner are the few dining rooms associated with hotels. In this hotel you need to make a reservation during the day so the restaurant can order enough food, if you don’t make a reservation your only other option is a separate less elegant public dining room with a more limited menu.

We (two couples) spent one night here, based on the recommendation of a family member who travels to Japan regularly and said that Miyajima is one of her favorite places. We wanted to find a ryokan with private onsens on the island, and Kinsuikan had availability on our date. Their website and communication were a bit wonky to actually make reservations, but luckily it all worked out in the end. All of us enjoyed our stay. We had large 4th floor ocean-view rooms with semi-open air onsens. We were served dinner and breakfast in the rooms, which was a very nice treat! The room was very comfortable and felt luxurious in a 1990s resort kind of way. Lots of lighting and lighting switches. Beds were hard but very comfortable – we slept really well. Good AC. The bathroom had tons of bath/spa toiletries. The fridge was stocked with a variety of free beverages including a little bottle of bubbly. The onsen was really nice: huge, so we could stretch out, and good water temperature. The meals were great: less food than we had had at our previous ryokan, which we appreciated, and with more interesting spins on traditional fare; and of course tons of freshly caught seafood. The Kinsuikan has a rooftop deck with gorgeous views, a 5th floor coffee and beverage area with a freezer full of little strawberry and vanilla ice creams, a little library, a little first floor covered open-air café…lots of nooks and crannies to explore! The staff were all really nice. While we were there, it seemed like a lot of the other guests were older Japanese tour groups. The island is really magical at night when day trippers leave, and we feel that is pretty much what you’re paying for when you pay a fair sum of money to stay overnight at someplace like the Kinsuikan. We totally felt it was worth it, but wouldn’t need to spend more than one night here.
