Private Hot Spring RoomsAll rooms include their own open-air hot spring bath for secluded soaking.
Dog-Friendly StayA rare ryokan where guests can stay comfortably with their dogs.
Spacious Detached VillasOnly a few standalone rooms are spread across a large, low-density site.
Easy Rail AccessAbout five minutes on foot from JR Ono-Ura Station, with shuttle support.

Irori Dining AtmosphereEmphasizes regional ingredients and a warm Japanese hearth-style dining experience.

Who is this ryokan best for?

Recommended stay1-2 nightsAccess is the main stay-length driver: arrive in the afternoon, settle into the private hot spring bath, have dinner, sleep quietly, then use the next day for Miyajima or Hiroshima before moving on. A second night works if you want a slower bath-and-scenery rhythm rather than a packed sightseeing base.
Trip-planning verdict: Best as a 1-night or relaxed 2-night mainland Hiroshima/Miyajima retreat for travelers who want private in-room hot spring time and easy rail access, not an on-island Miyajima stay.

Know before booking

Not on MiyajimaDespite some listing metadata, this is on the mainland in Hatsukaichi near JR Onoura, so it does not save ferry time the way an island stay does.
Limited local walkabilityThe immediate area is quiet and retreat-oriented, so travelers wanting many restaurants, shops, or nightlife nearby may feel stranded.
Oversleep riskTwo nights is enough for most itineraries unless you specifically want repeated private-bath downtime or are traveling with a dog.

Access, transport and nearby sights

Bettei Fujiya is on the mainland side of Hatsukaichi near the Ohnoura area, so the most practical access is usually via JR rail plus a short taxi ride, with Miyajimaguchi mainly useful for Miyajima transfers.

Should you choose this ryokan?

This is a quiet, dog-friendly hot spring stay in Shioya, Hatsukaichi, on the mainland side near Miyajima rather than on Miyajima Island itself. It suits travelers who want private bathing, easy rail access, and a calmer base, but it is less ideal if you want to stay inside the main sightseeing area of Miyajima.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points
  • Private onsen feelThe property focuses on private hot spring bathing rather than a large shared bath experience, which is great for couples, families, or travelers who value privacy. Some baths also include distinctive touches like hinoki cypress or Shigaraki pottery tubs.
  • Excellent for dog ownersThis ryokan is notably pet-friendly and is built to welcome guests traveling with dogs, including dedicated dog-oriented facilities. That makes it far more practical than a typical ryokan if your trip includes a pet.
  • Easy access without city stressIt is about a 5-minute walk from JR Onoura Station and also convenient by car from Ono IC, so arrival is easier than at more isolated ryokan. You get a calmer residential setting without being cut off from Hiroshima-area sightseeing.
  • Good base for Miyajima side tripsThe location works well for travelers who want to explore the Miyajima area while sleeping somewhere quieter and less crowded. It can be a comfortable alternative to staying in the busiest tourist zones.
  • Distinctive irori-style atmosphereThe branding and room style emphasize a Japanese sunken-hearth ambiance, giving the stay a more characterful feel than a standard modern hotel. It is a better fit for travelers seeking a designed ryokan mood rather than a generic room.
5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs
  • Not actually on Miyajima IslandDespite some listing wording, the address is in Shioya, Hatsukaichi on the mainland side, not within the island's main temple-and-shrine district. If you want to walk out directly into Miyajima's iconic atmosphere, this may disappoint.
  • Less convenient for late-night island timeBecause you are not staying in the heart of Miyajima, sunset and evening strolls around the island are less effortless than for guests sleeping there. It is better as a base than as a fully immersive island stay.
  • Best suited to travelers with a car or clear transit planAccess is straightforward, but the property sits in a quiet residential area rather than a dense tourist center packed with restaurants and shops. Travelers wanting everything at their doorstep may find the setting too subdued.
  • Dog-friendly setup may not suit everyoneFor many guests this is a plus, but travelers who prefer a strictly pet-free atmosphere may hesitate. The property's identity clearly includes welcoming dogs, so expectations should match that style.
  • More niche than a full-service luxury ryokanThe appeal here is privacy, atmosphere, and practical access, not a grand resort with broad public facilities and a famous scenic setting. Travelers chasing a classic high-end ryokan spectacle may find it more modest than expected.
