"Best view on the island over Miyashima.
Rooms are super clean and comfortable. It is an older hotel, but well worth the money. I recommend staying two nights so you can enjoy the island and not be rushed to do everything in a single day."
"Absolutely beautiful place, gave me everything I needed in my holiday in Japan have recommend it to everyone I know, it is a beautiful place and location. "

Leider haben wir das seltsame Beamerkonstruckt nicht zum laufen gebracht, war uns aber auch nicht so wichtig. Übrigens, Vorsicht, kein Fahrstuhl, so kann das Koffertragen etwas anstrengen."
