At the top of our favourite experiences in japan would definitely be staying on miyajima for 2 nights and staying at momiji so. Its quite deceptive from the front where they also run an eatery but the room we stayed in was wonderful and probably the biggest we stayed in , in japan! the room looked out onto a fish... More

Momijiso doesn't look like much from the outside. In fact the exterior is largely taken up by the open-air eatery it also operates. Inside, no elegant foyer awaits, just a simple rather cosy dining area and counter. However despite these seeming negatives, we enjoyed our stay here due to the very comfortable and well thought out rooms and beautiful, delicious... More

Momijiso is a family run ryokan. The current matron, an endearing grandma, is the 4th generation and told me that her fore-fathers had built the place. Although this ryokan is feels somewhat like a budget ryokan compared to Iwaso, the service is superb and you are supporting a local business. Our room was immaculate and looked out on to a... More

We travelled down from Tokyo for an overnight stay. Trip can be done - with time to see Hiroshima - easily. We found it a beautiful and unique experience; something I will remember forever. Also a very Japanese experience. The island itself, was also worth the trip. Make sure you walk down to the Torii Gate after dark (torches provided)... More

We booked this ryokan after reading reviews on Tripadvisor & comparing prices for other ryokans on Miyajima. Momiji-so was distinctly better value than the other places with the only major down side being a lack of any onsen. I was also pretty excited by the photos & description of the grandma/host/landlady. I am so glad we booked this ryokan. Yes,... More

We had 3 nights here in January - it was the highlight of the trip for all of us, 12, 15 and parents. We had a day wandering around the island, a day in Hiroshima and a third day on the island. We did a number of the walks. We were initially a bit put off by the look of... More

Our time in Miyajima, and particularly, our stay in Momiji-so, was the highlight of the whole Japan trip. The relaxing atmosphere, friendly people, beautiful place, and amazing food just made us felt that we were in heaven :). This place is really out of the way, and definitely not luggage friendly, so having transport from ferry terminal to Momiji-so was... More

Great location, doesn't feel touristy. You get a cute "grandma" serving you your meals. We stayed in the room with our own bath, but they would offer the family bath (which is much bigger) for your use also. Our room was good: We stayed in the one with only partial view of the fish pond - the only thing was... More

This was our biggest splurge accomodation-wise. If they made Ryokans cheaper, the beauty and magic of the island once the daytrippers left would be lost. The beauty of the island doubles when it quiets down and you can wander out in your yukata and look at the shrines and the shore all lit up. The staff gave us flashlights to... More
