Hiroshima Five-Story Pagoda Hotels

"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. "

"LiVEMAX Resort Akimiyajima is conveniently located, just a short walk from the jetty. Despite being close to the arrival point, the ryokan sits slightly away from the main crowds, offering a quieter and more relaxed stay. Check in was smooth, and the ryokan already had our Expedia reservations prepared. As with all traditional ryokan, copies of our passports were taken, and footwear must be removed at the main lobby before changing into the in house slippers. Our room featured a private onsen with a beautiful view of the O Torii, which was a highlight of the stay. Amenities such as coffee, toothbrushes, and combs were provided directly in the room. Coin laundry is not available in the hotel. The nearest laundromat is located outside the property, just a short walk away. Electric bicycles are available for rent at the resort, at Y500 for 2 hours or Y1000 for a full day, making it easy to explore Miyajima at your own pace. The public onsen areas are located on the second floor and include both an indoor bath and an outdoor pool with a deck. Free ramen is served on the second floor from 9.30pm. The restaurant and smoking room are located on level six, and there is a small snacks shop at the main lobby. The ryokan is located just off the bustling Omotesandō Shopping Street, with plenty of food options nearby. Overall, LiVEMAX Resort Akimiyajima offers convenience, comfort, and a traditional ryokan experience with a memorable view of the O Torii."

"Amazing place! I highly recommend. Staff is top notch, room was spotless and had every amenity you could want. If you're looking at booking, don't think about it just do it. You'll be glad you did."

"This hotel was amazing! Perfect location, room had a private onsen on balcony which was really awesome, food was delicious. Loved it and wished we stayed longer!"

"We had a wonderful time at this lovely Ryokan. The hostess was extremely friendly and helpful. We took advantage of the onsen each night and had no problem with access. Breakfast was phenomenal! 10/10. Would highly recommend. Also everything was spotlessly clean."

"This was the best hotel experience of our Japan trip. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. The location was perfect for an overnight visit to Itsukushima. The food at the hotel was exquisite, and the ocean view from our room was beautiful."

"Staff, location and clean room"

"Great area"

"absolutely loved my stay, from the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. The location is perfect — tucked into the trees near Momijidani Park, with a peaceful stream running right outside. Everything about Iwaso felt authentic and special. If you want a true taste of traditional Japanese hospitality, this is the place to stay."
