Iwaso Ryokan

Iwaso Ryokan is a timeless sanctuary nestled within the tranquil embrace of Momijidani Park on Miyajima Island, a stone’s throw from the iconic Itsukushima Shrine and its famed floating torii gate.

This historic ryokan, established in 1854, offers a unique opportunity to experience the harmony of traditional Japanese hospitality and the island’s breathtaking natural beauty. Surrounded by lush forests and wandering deer, Iwaso’s location feels like stepping into a serene, otherworldly landscape.

The architecture of Iwaso is steeped in tradition, with its main building and annexes embodying classic Japanese design. Wooden facades, tatami mat rooms, and carefully crafted interiors evoke a sense of old-world elegance, while modern touches ensure the comfort of today’s travelers. The ryokan’s peaceful setting is enhanced by its proximity to the island’s natural wonders, including the vibrant autumn foliage of Momijidani Park and the gentle streams that wind through its grounds.
