Miyajima Machiya Hotel Shiomachi-An delivers a very personal, traditional stay above a sushi restaurant, with many guests praising the exceptional multi-course omakase dinner, tasty breakfasts, central-yet-quiet location, and the warm, hands-on hospitality of its owner.
Upstairs are two simple tatami rooms, often reserved together, with a modern bath and some terraces, offering an authentic ryokan-style experience. Staying on the island lets travelers enjoy Itsukushima Shrine and the torii gate after day-trippers leave, though the ferry is about a 15–20 minute walk. Trade-offs noted across reviews include steep stairs and limited accessibility, a toilet sometimes shared with restaurant patrons, basic in-room amenities, and occasional issues like futon comfort or minor cleanliness/maintenance concerns. Expect an intimate, food-centered stay with strong local character.

This hotel and the sushi experience were amazing. It is a traditional Japanese Ryokan, with lots of beautiful traditional features. Our room had a beautiful outside terrace. The sushi experience, watching the owner hand-make the sushi in front was unforgettable, and the sushi was delicious. The owner was so kind and helpful. The perfect stay in Miyajima.

Authentic Japanese experience sleeping on tatami mats in historic building. We had the entire upstairs to ourselves with 2 bedrooms, large bathing room, and separate toilet room. Sushi dinner was amazing! 14 courses of some of the best sushi we have ever eaten. Breakfast was also very good with generous portions. It is a bit of a walk from ferry ~15-20 minutes and stairs to bedrooms are very steep, so I recommend leaving large luggage in a locker or something and might not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. But definitely worth the inconvenience.

For those coming to Miyajima to enjoy the island after the crowds leave, this is the perfect option. It's a cosy, traditional Japanese lodging with tatami rooms, a large soaking bath and a restaurant run by the owner downstairs. He works very hard to ensure everything runs smoothly. You must also have the omakase dinner run by the talented host, he is an exceptional sushi chef and it was by far some of the best food we have had in Japan.

This is a great place if you are trying to find a place to stay or eat in Miyajima. The building consists of the two floors; the first floor as a sushi restaurant and the second floor with two bedrooms, a restroom, and a bath/shower room. Every part of the dinner and breakfast course were delicious and well made. Not only was the service 10/10 but the owner gave us a little tour of the neighborhood and took us to the hotspots. The biggest complaint is the only restroom available for restaurant customers was the one upstairs next to the bedrooms we were staying in. We would have preferred to have the restroom to ourselves during our stay. There was also an already opened and used water bottle in the fridge upstairs. Other than that, it was an amazing, delicious, and clean experience and will stay again!

Just stayed one night with my family and we didn’t want to leave. The house is over 100 years old but has modern conveniences and was very clean and comfortable. The futon beds were perfect. The AC was strong. And best of all was the food. Dinner was a 12-13 course omakase with fish we’ve never tasted, like blowfish. My two teens absolutely loved the experience and are already asking to go back. The owner/chef was very friendly. He went with us on a night walk and took photos of us along the way. What hospitality!

This property is a traditional Japanese guesthouse, with 2 guest rooms located directly above the owners sushi restaurant. The Samurai room has sliding doors to an outdoor terrace. Both rooms share the toilet room (which is also used by restaurant guests) and a separate shower room. We were the only guests staying, so it wasn’t a big issue. Our reservation included an excellent omakase sushi dinner, which we highly recommend.

Unique experience! Single occupancy hotel that is more of a ryokan on a quaint street. The owner/chef speaks little English but his hospitality shined through his actions. The lodging above the small sushi restaurant is simple (2 bedrooms with futon beds), but with a modern bathroom and all very clean. The highlight of the stay was the spectacular ~16 course sushi omakase.

宿泊施設としてのロビー（受付）がないし、スタッフもいない。布団もマットレスのような薄いもので腰が痛くなる。せめて自分でお湯を沸かせる電気ポットくらい置いて欲しかった。それに朝食が8時で、通常は2時間ほどの間に食事をすればいいのだが、9時過ぎまで千畳閣とか見ていて遅れたら、電話があり店主に怒られた。普通、お客さんに怒るかな。ホスピタリティは最低クラス。ただし一階の寿司屋（亭主は同じ）は絶品。 The food is superb but the hospitality is terrible. I needed at least an electric kettle. The futon mattress is far from comfortable and there was no blanket. I won't stay at this inn but will come again only to the sushi restaurant.

Wonderful stay in a traditional machiya. Stayed in Samurai room with terrace which was perfect to relax in after long day. Our highlight was omakase dinner with the best sushi we've ever had! Western style breakfast was delicious and not too heavy. Took chef’s advice to take evening walk to see Miyajima at night and it was perfect to see the torii gate and shrine at night without the crowds. If you can spare a night here to escape the city and experience the island in the evening would highly recommend! Amenities are comfortable and clean though note that the bathroom and toilet are shared with the other room. No one else was staying at the same time so no issue for us. Also will be sleeping in futon you need to set up yourself.

It's a sushi restaurant, not a hotel. When you think of staying at a delicious sushi restaurant, the following things seem inevitable. ・There is a lot of dust in the room. ・The lamp shade is torn. ・There are some stains on the futon. I think the accommodation could be a little cleaner.

Komforten af futonerne er ikke fantastisk, men sådan er det alle steder vi har prøvet dem. Ligger i et hyggeligt område cirka 15 min. gang fra færgen

Staying at Traditional Machiya Hotel Shiomachi-An was the highlight of my trip! The sushi dinner was delicious, some of the best sushi I've ever had. The fish was so fresh and flavours were superb. The rooms were decorated in a beautiful style, full of traditional Japanese decor. It was amazing to stay somewhere special. The owner was very warm and welcoming and I'm so impressed that he runs this place himself. The location was excellent, set away from the super busy area, but close enough to walk to the sights and shopping. Thank you for the lovely travel memory.

Totally amazing experience! The host was very attentive and helpful. He carried our cases up to our accommodation and we were so surprised how big the space was! Two rooms and bathroom. We enjoyed sleeping on futons for the first time. However the highlight was the food! Sushi prepared and presented in front of us. Unbelievable quality and attention to detail. We also enjoyed our Japanese breakfasts too! The location is 200m from the Torri gate! Definitely highly recommend this property and host! Highlight of our holiday in Japan

This property is a traditional Japanese guesthouse, with 2 guest rooms located directly above the owners sushi restaurant. The Samurai room has sliding doors to an outdoor terrace. Both rooms share the toilet room (which is also used by restaurant guests) and a separate shower room. We were the only guests staying, so it wasn’t a big issue. Our reservation included an excellent omakase sushi dinner, which we highly recommend.

This hotel and the sushi experience were amazing. It is a traditional Japanese Ryokan, with lots of beautiful traditional features. Our room had a beautiful outside terrace. The sushi experience, watching the owner hand-make the sushi in front was unforgettable, and the sushi was delicious. The owner was so kind and helpful. The perfect stay in Miyajima.

Superbe expérience dans ce Ryokan juste à côté du sanctuaire de Miyajima et de son fameux Tori dans la mer. Les chambres traditionnelles sont calmes, confortables et spacieuses. Excellent accueil de la part de notre hôte qui nous a préparé un dîner fabuleux et très copieux. Le petit déjeuner était très bon également et il s'est également chargé de commander un taxi pour le retour à l'embarcadère. Merci beaucoup pour ce court séjour hors du temps!

This is a great place if you are trying to find a place to stay or eat in Miyajima. The building consists of the two floors; the first floor as a sushi restaurant and the second floor with two bedrooms, a restroom, and a bath/shower room. Every part of the dinner and breakfast course were delicious and well made. Not only was the service 10/10 but the owner gave us a little tour of the neighborhood and took us to the hotspots. The biggest complaint is the only restroom available for restaurant customers was the one upstairs next to the bedrooms we were staying in. We would have preferred to have the restroom to ourselves during our stay. There was also an already opened and used water bottle in the fridge upstairs. Other than that, it was an amazing, delicious, and clean experience and will stay again!

Just stayed one night with my family and we didn’t want to leave. The house is over 100 years old but has modern conveniences and was very clean and comfortable. The futon beds were perfect. The AC was strong. And best of all was the food. Dinner was a 12-13 course omakase with fish we’ve never tasted, like blowfish. My two teens absolutely loved the experience and are already asking to go back. The owner/chef was very friendly. He went with us on a night walk and took photos of us along the way. What hospitality!

Totally amazing experience! The host was very attentive and helpful. He carried our cases up to our accommodation and we were so surprised how big the space was! Two rooms and bathroom. We enjoyed sleeping on futons for the first time. However the highlight was the food! Sushi prepared and presented in front of us. Unbelievable quality and attention to detail. We also enjoyed our Japanese breakfasts too! The location is 200m from the Torri gate! Definitely highly recommend this property and host! Highlight of our holiday in Japan

Our 2 days stay at this very traditional home was another highlight of our 3 week trip to Japan. The best of all was the incredible and very extraordinary dinner with multiple, never before experienced, sushi courses. The chief is a bit strict about how to eat the fine food, but that\'s part of the fun "one bite" ;). Unforgettable days! Thanks very much

This hotel is exceptional - I would give it 6 stars if I could! The room was beautiful and traditional, the location great for exploring Miyajima (especially at night once the island was less crowded), and the sushi dinner was some of the best sushi I've ever had in my life. In particular, the staff went above and beyond in being extremely welcoming, accommodating, and friendly, and they made this the most special experience of our trip to Japan!

Wonderful place to stay for a true Japanese experience. The location in town is close to all major sites, but also very quiet. We had an added surprise of being able to watch fireworks from a unique place, known to locals (with the owner’s help)! The sashimi was amazing as was the breakfast. Just before leaving, we had a family crisis that required a change of plans. They were very helpful, which was both comforting and calming.

This was an amazing experience for our family of 4. The traditional beds to 15 course sushi dinner to warm hospitality to hearty breakfast all exceeded my expectations. The host went out of his way to show us around to some beautiful night time photo spots after dinner and let us keep our luggage before and after check in/out times. Would recommmend to absolutely anyone except if you have mobility issues as the store to the main rooms were quite step.

Location
Close to Itsukushima Shrine and the torii gate in a quiet area, ideal for enjoying the island after crowds depart. It’s roughly a 15–20 minute walk from the ferry, and taxis can be scarce.

Lovely food, traditional experience. Landlord is very kind and generous. Note that it is about a 20 minute walk from the ferry. Not terrible but if you're bringing bags it's a shlep! Cabs are in short supply on the island so I would definitely recommend leaving your main bag in Hiroshima and bringing just an overnight bag for your stay.

Staying at Traditional Machiya Hotel Shiomachi-An was the highlight of my trip! The sushi dinner was delicious, some of the best sushi I've ever had. The fish was so fresh and flavours were superb. The rooms were decorated in a beautiful style, full of traditional Japanese decor. It was amazing to stay somewhere special. The owner was very warm and welcoming and I'm so impressed that he runs this place himself. The location was excellent, set away from the super busy area, but close enough to walk to the sights and shopping. Thank you for the lovely travel memory.

One of the best and most unique places I’ve ever stayed. A beautiful old townhouse in the heart of Miyajima within walkable distance of the famous Torii gate. The owner is a sushi master who prepared a stunning omekase sushi dinner for us. I’d recommend staying here and making sure to get the dinner option!

Needed a place to stay overnight prior to hiking Mount Misen in Miyajima and stayed at this lovely Machiya. It's not a traditional hotel but it was quiet and a great experience sleeping in a traditional guest room.The proprietor and his apprentice were extremely hospitable and the Machiya is also a sushi restaurant at night- which was delicious. It's also is a solid distance away from the more crowded shopping row in Miyajima- would recommend for the experience.

Wonderful stay in a traditional machiya. Stayed in Samurai room with terrace which was perfect to relax in after long day. Our highlight was omakase dinner with the best sushi we've ever had! Western style breakfast was delicious and not too heavy. Took chef’s advice to take evening walk to see Miyajima at night and it was perfect to see the torii gate and shrine at night without the crowds. If you can spare a night here to escape the city and experience the island in the evening would highly recommend! Amenities are comfortable and clean though note that the bathroom and toilet are shared with the other room. No one else was staying at the same time so no issue for us. Also will be sleeping in futon you need to set up yourself.

This is a real ryokan experience, with a lot of thought from the owner to make it a nice experience. Location is great , extra mattresses are available. For us it was expensive, but once you have the dinner and breakfast, you understand why. He makes exquisite sushi for dinner, fresh. He also makes a great breakfast, omelette, salmon, broth, yoghurt n fruit, pancake and juice. The dinner is. best food I have ever eaten, and I didn’t even really like sushi. All fish and rice, with delicate flavours designed for one mouthful each we had around 15. so delicious oyster scallops otoro squid prawn loads of different fish. Warm. We added drinks and these were inexpensive like £2-4 each. I had a v generous serving of sake. There’s also an outside terrace with partial view of the torii gate. Once we had eaten we felt like we had a bargain here!! There are two spacious bedrooms, extra mattresses sinks in I rooms one toilet and one shower room. Only one group is there at a time so it is private. The air con worked well and there were plenty of mattresses. The blackout binds were effective.
