Miyajima Seaside Hotel is a ryokan-style luxury property in Miyajimaguchi, Hatsukaichi City, in Hiroshima Prefecture, located on the mainland shore of the Seto Inland Sea directly opposite Miyajima Island. The hotel occupies a prime waterfront position that frames views of the island, and on clear days guests can see Itsukushima Shrine's famous floating torii gate from the hotel grounds at low tide. As a full-service ryokan with contemporary facilities, the property offers the traditional Japanese overnight experience of included kaiseki dinner and Japanese breakfast, tatami-mat rooms, and private or communal onsen bathing — combined with the level of comfort and service associated with higher-end hospitality. Room categories include traditional tatami rooms with standard garden outlooks and premium tatami rooms with direct ocean views toward Miyajima Island, as well as a small number of Western-style alternatives for guests less accustomed to floor-level sleeping. The kaiseki dinner is a multi-course seasonal menu drawing on Hiroshima's rich marine larder — Miyajima oysters and conger eel (anago), a local Miyajima delicacy, often feature prominently. Japanese breakfast is served in the guest room or dining hall and includes rice, miso soup, grilled fish, pickles, and seasonal side dishes. Indoor hot spring baths are available in segregated men's and women's sections with extended opening hours. Private onsen bath rooms can be reserved for exclusive use by couples or families for an additional charge. The hotel's ferry stop for Miyajima is within a short walk, placing the island's shrines, deer, and hiking trails within 15 minutes by boat.

Are the onsen baths private or shared?
The hotel has segregated communal onsen baths for men and women, available during standard bathing hours. In addition, a small number of private onsen rooms can be reserved for exclusive use — these should be requested at time of booking as availability is limited.
Is the hotel suitable for guests who prefer a Western-style bed?
