Hotel Kikunoya

Large rooms with big beds

The restaurant is small and we could not get in for dinner. The restaurants outside of the hotel for dinner are remote.

The room was nice and the breakfast was delicious. The food bath and onsen were marvelous.

We chose a superior category room but it was just in front of the "smoking terrace," so there were always people talking and laughing there. It was difficult to sleep as it was very noisy.

This is a great place to stay. I've been to many Ryokans and this one ranks among the better ones (most of them are great, so that means something). It's location is great and we could see the Tori of the Itsukushima shrine from our Window. The food was great and the staff is very helpful. They also all speak English. The shuttle to/from the ferry is helpful if you come with heavy luggage.

I've seen nicer hot springs, but it is doing its job. And it is complaining on a very high level.

Very friendly staff, nice onsen and very tasty Japanese style breakfast
