Hotel Miyajima Villa is a small modern hotel right by the Miyajima ferry pier<\/strong>, run by the group behind the Kinsuikan ryokan. Despite the name it is not a private villa: “villa” translates its Japanese name, Miyajima Bess\u014d<\/em> (“Miyajima holiday house”), and it is an ordinary hotel with Japanese-modern rooms, all with beds. Its draws are a sunset-view bath laid with tatami, a dinner buffet with free beer, sake and wine<\/strong>, and a guest lounge with free soft drinks until 1:00 a.m. It is closed for maintenance from 14 to 18 December 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What kind of hotel it is<\/h2>\n

The building opened in 1980 and went through several names as a Kinsuikan annex before a large renovation that began in January 2017 turned it into Hotel Miyajima Villa, the Kinsuikan group’s second brand. Its idea is “a grown-ups’ home on Miyajima”: stay as if you had a weekend house on the island. In practice that means a relaxed, self-service style rather than a ryokan’s set rituals. There is no kaiseki, no staff coming in to lay out futons; you eat at a buffet, help yourself to toiletries from an amenity bar at the front desk, and spend the evening in the lounge or on the wooden terrace with its hanging chairs and dome tent. Staff at the front desk act as island concierges.<\/p>\n

The address is its other strength. It is a few steps from the pier, so there is no luggage to haul, and you are at the start of the waterfront walk to the shrine.<\/p>\n
