Miyajima Hotel Makoto
8,7/10 Excellent - Based on 811 reviews
Quiet, the Miyajima Hotel Makoto invites its visitors into an atmosphere filled with serenity, where every corner breathes the traditional elegance of Japan. This establishment, a mystical incursion into the heart of the sacred archipelago, offers refined relaxation spaces, such as a public bath and a soothing massage chair, to rejuvenate the soul and body. Its 24-hour reception and harmonious garden provide a setting conducive to meditation and reconnection with oneself.
Boasting a pure style true to Japanese tradition, the rooms offer warm comfort highlighted by authentic tatamis and minimalist design. Whether you choose a family room or Japanese-style room, their careful arrangement, complemented by soft futons and modern amenities such as a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi, promises an immersion in Japanese hospitality, combining friendliness and refinement.
Taste the quintessence of local cuisine with specialties served in the establishment’s two restaurants. The “ryokan in Miyajima” notably unveils skillfully composed dishes, blending sea and mountain, perfect for a savory breakfast or a memorable dinner. A few steps away, other establishments like Miyajima Syokudo offer culinary escapades, accompanied by the magic of the surrounding landscapes, where culture and nature meet.
Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Located in a pleasant setting, this ryokan presents a mix of traditional and modern elements. The meals offer a nice variety but sometimes lack typical refinement. The baths are functional but without exceptional charm. The rooms, although comfortable, do not provide a total immersion in the classic Japanese aesthetic.
