Best part is you are steps from the shrine. Dinner was in a private room. Hotel is on top of a creek with waterfall. Onsen was perfect. It was the crown jewel of our vacation.
I never write reviews but Iwaso was unforgettable for so many reasons - it was an awesome traditional ryokan/onsen experience and so incredibly toddler friendly. The food was great and the customer service wonderful. 11/10 recommend.

The hotel was great but we could not book dinner on both the nights we were there and there are really limited places to eat on the islands.
Staff were nice but not that helpful.
The room was lovely and basic as expected. The onsen were lovely
We loved Iwaso. Spent one night in the main building and two nights in the new building. The staff were very friendly and most welcoming (we do not speak any Japanese). Highlights include the onsen (very clean and relaxing), the central location (near the hiking trails/shops/restaurants/shrines), and the food both at Iwaso and in town. This is a special place with special staff!
