Iwaso

Classic ryokan on Miyajima Island in a garden setting, steps from Itsukushima Shrine.

Iwaso is a venerable ryokan on the sacred island of Miyajima, situated in a tranquil maple valley near the iconic floating torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine. Founded in 1854, the inn has hosted members of the imperial family and numerous dignitaries. The sound of the Momijidani River flowing beneath the rooms and the surrounding primeval forest create an atmosphere of timeless serenity.
