Bath on the balcony was awesome! The view was also wonderful with a mix of city and see side with the Tori gate visible. Fresh towels and toiletry, tea and coffee provided daily.
Great service from the staff and room (432) was the nicest i have stayed in over 21 years visiting Japan. This is a traditional style Japanese Hotel so no shoes but well worth the stay. Highly recommended and a must over ight stay if visiting Miyajima !

The staff was very friendly and kind and the hotel has great facilities. We enjoyed the onsen and breakfast. However, one of the blinds in our room was completely missing and the TV alarm went off at 3am - clearly this had been set by a previous guest. These issues affected our sleep quality. When I mentioned these issues to the manager, he was very apologetic. However I don’t think this hotel deserves the highest rating - for the price paid, I would expect flawless rooms.
Good location, big room and nice views! Really enjoyed the onsen!

Fantstic large room, with a great view of the Tori at night. Reviews we read had us worried the hotel would be too old, however we found that while some of the finishing around the room (mainly wood surfaces) are a bit older, the general experience and hotel are quite current and renovated. The location is fantastic and the amenities are great, would definitely stay there again.
As a side note, the island is pretty "quiet" at night, so if you are arriving late, definitely plan to stay the next day at least for lunch, since you will probably arrive as everything is closing down and will miss it if you leave early.
This property overall is very nice. The facilities feel a bit older but they are more upscale. The rooms have a ton of space in them and the onsen was great. There were some quirks, like outside lights not turning off and staff telling us they could not be turned off but then they turned off a bit later. You can rent e-bikes which we did as we got there early before check in.
The hotel had a short walk distance between the Ferry terminal and hotel. One aspect, I enjoy was the breakfast/dinner buffet.

Let me start off by saying that the location of this hotel is fantastic. The room we booked, Japanese Western with open air bath, non smoking, was spacious and comfortable and we were able to see the Torii gate from our window. However, there was also peeling wallpaper, a large amount of dust bunnies under the bed and even missing blinds on the window. We had to ring down to the front desk at 9pm to request the blinds be replaced otherwise the building lights would light up the whole room. They promptly attended to the matter, but why they hadn't fixed it prior to selling the room seems like a major oversight. Lastly, if you're looking for a literal open air bath, this is not your place. The window slides open just a crack, therefore, the room title is a bit misleading.
a little on the expensive side, but understandable considering the spacious room and stunning location. great view of the island and itsukushima shrine.
Only 3 stars! Staff is excellent but the hotel needs a lot of love. The non-smoking room had a strong mold smell worse than the smoking room. Even though they give us a hard time about our room request that we did a month earlier with Expedia ( they say they can’t accommodate room request after the reservation is done even though Expedia assured us the request made was granted.) but at the end they worked with us. They have buffet for breakfast and dinner.
The most that stands out in our (wife and I) minds is the dinner and breakfast. I chose the half board plan with the room reservation. The dinner included almost everything from seafood, chef prepared steak, and sukiyaki boxes. The table had a grill to cook shelled clams, oysters, shrimp,and more. Plus a sukiyaki hot pot.
The breakfast was just as fabulous with Japanese and western choices.
Our room was Western/Japanese with a hot tub enclosure. The tub would/could not get hot as an onsen tub which was disappointing. The room was adequate but there was hardly any storage space. Everything stayed in our suitcase.
All in all we were there for one night to enjoy the Miyajima Island without the midday crowd. And to beat the crowd to enjoy Mt. Misen.
This was an amazing hotel. The upstairs onsen was a huge bonus and it was very relaxing. The products provided were of a high standard. We had a deluxe suite which was expensive but worth every penny. We had a private outdoor bath and balcony which meant we could watch the sunset. The hotel provided a lot of freebies and comfy kimono robes too! The staff were so friendly and also allowed us to leave our luggage the next day whilst we explored the island. This was a very tranquil stay and a highlight of our trip.
An amazing property, we were very well looked after from start to finish. Food and service was great, staff helped cooking traditional Japanese meals in buffet restaurant. We had previous poor reviews, but we certainly could not find fault in any part of our stay. We would return without hesitation.
Perfect base to explore Miyajima. Close to everything. Facility was clean. Rooms were roomy but I can hear people in the room above me stomping at night.
We stayed only one night, the Japanese room was clean and quiet.
Great breakfast with Japanese and European choices.
The only problem are the inside shoes for people with big feet they don’t fit.

For the price, we were expecting more.
It’s an older hotel that could use some maintenance. The location is great for access to all areas.
LiveMax hotel on Miyajima was a the perfect place for an overnight trip. Perfectly situated close to the ferry station and walkable to all the sights on the island. They rent bicycles if needed. The dinner buffet was insane (mad rush to the sushi and beef for yakitori at the table) but it was a unique experience to say the least. Delicious food provided. We had excellent customer service during the check in and check out process. You are assigned a locker for outdoor shoes upon arrival and have to wear the provided leather slippers while on site. The room was extremely spacious (for Japan standards) and the 2 waters provided were appreciated.
