Despite it's name, the hotel is on the mainland in Miyajima-guchi, not on the destination island as I has erroneously thought when I booked the room. Although staying there thus limited our opportunity to explore lovely Miyajima at our own pace, particularly in the less crowded evening, the hotel was a good choice and very pleasant. A satisfying kaiseki dinner was included in our room rate, as was breakfast, which was more basic than we had expected. While conveniently located adjacent to the JR Ferry terminal, there is nothing to do in the hotel vicinity.
