Kurayado Iroha Ryokan
PRICE: Worth maxing out for
Kurayado Iroha Ryokan on Miyajima Island is a retreat of understated elegance, perfectly situated in the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Overlooking the Seto Inland Sea, the ryokan provides guests with breathtaking views of the iconic Itsukushima Shrine and its renowned “floating” torii gate.
Its central location offers the best of both worlds: the serenity of the island’s natural beauty and the convenience of being steps away from Miyajima’s charming streets lined with local shops and eateries.
The architecture of Kurayado Iroha reflects a contemporary interpretation of traditional Japanese design. The ryokan’s exterior is modern yet harmoniously integrates into the island’s historic landscape. Inside, the décor emphasizes natural materials—warm woods, soft textiles, and stone accents—creating a tranquil, minimalist atmosphere. The guest rooms, many of which feature private balconies or open-air baths, are a seamless blend of Japanese and modern aesthetics, designed to immerse visitors in comfort while keeping them connected to the natural beauty outside.
Service at Kurayado Iroha is a hallmark of Japanese hospitality, attentive yet unobtrusive. The staff goes to great lengths to ensure every detail of a guest’s stay is thoughtfully curated, from personalized greetings to tailored recommendations for exploring the island. The ryokan exudes warmth, making visitors feel at home while indulging them in the kind of care that elevates the experience to something truly special.
The facilities at Kurayado Iroha enhance its appeal as a serene retreat. The ryokan’s open-air baths offer a rejuvenating soak with stunning views of the sea and surrounding mountains, an experience that feels both restorative and deeply connected to nature. Dining is another highlight, with the ryokan’s restaurant serving exquisite kaiseki meals crafted from the freshest local ingredients, including Miyajima’s famous oysters and seasonal seafood delicacies.
Kurayado Iroha Ryokan is a place where timeless tradition meets modern refinement, offering guests an intimate and luxurious way to experience the magic of Miyajima Island. Whether marveling at the shrine’s torii gate at high tide, strolling through the island’s lush forests, or simply relaxing in the serene embrace of the ryokan, Kurayado Iroha provides an unforgettable stay in one of Japan’s most iconic destinations.
