Overall Ratings & Reviews Miyajima Machiya Hotel Shiomachi-An

Totally amazing experience! The host was very attentive and helpful. He carried our cases up to our accommodation and we were so surprised how big the space was! Two rooms and bathroom. We enjoyed sleeping on futons for the first time. However the highlight was the food! Sushi prepared and presented in front of us. Unbelievable quality and attention to detail. We also enjoyed our Japanese breakfasts too! The location is 200m from the Torri gate! Definitely highly recommend this property and host! Highlight of our holiday in Japan

What a place! Night time stroll made me feel like I went back in time. The hotel was great. The sushi dinner was spectacular. Loved this experience! Will never forget it.

Amazing sushi dinner and authentic tatami room

The sushi dinner was one of the best meals we've ever had. All of the staff were so accommodating. We were able to drop off our bags before check in and leave them after check out. We opted to leave our larger luggage in a coin locker at Miyajimaguchi and were very glad we did. As a family of 4 adults and 2 kids, we had full use of the two bedrooms and the bathroom (all upstairs). The steep, narrow stairs and the awkward entrance to the toilet were challenging for my elderly mother but she managed.

One of the best experiences I had during my three weeks trip. Traditional, close to everything and the best: Very friendly owner, who made the best Sushi I had so far in my life. ...and I'm a Sushi lover. Very creative..

A nice little guesthouse if you are looking for an authentic stay in a beautiful location. We were treated to an amazing dinner with a wonderful host and will be recommending this experience to everyone we meet.

Amazing accommodation and host. Dinner was incredible. Very unique experience.

One of the best and most unique places I’ve ever stayed. A beautiful old townhouse in the heart of Miyajima within walkable distance of the famous Torii gate. The owner is a sushi master who prepared a stunning omekase sushi dinner for us. I’d recommend staying here and making sure to get the dinner option!

部屋は2階が貸切りで広いバルコニーもあり風呂もプライベート。ディナーのおまかせのお寿司はどれもこれも1級品でシェフの工夫が感じられ、忘れられない味でした。　ありがとうございました。

Such a cool experience staying in Miyajima, recommend!

For those coming to Miyajima to enjoy the island after the crowds leave, this is the perfect option. It's a cosy, traditional Japanese lodging with tatami rooms, a large soaking bath and a restaurant run by the owner downstairs. He works very hard to ensure everything runs smoothly. You must also have the omakase dinner run by the talented host, he is an exceptional sushi chef and it was by far some of the best food we have had in Japan.

great staff

This property is a traditional Japanese guesthouse, with 2 guest rooms located directly above the owners sushi restaurant. The Samurai room has sliding doors to an outdoor terrace. Both rooms share the toilet room (which is also used by restaurant guests) and a separate shower room. We were the only guests staying, so it wasn’t a big issue. Our reservation included an excellent omakase sushi dinner, which we highly recommend.

The owner was super nice & made us the best sushi in Japan 🇯🇵. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing, a good taste of traditional guest houses. The dinner was out this world, best sushi I ever had! Staff was helpful and very polite. Would stay there again on my next visit to Miyajima.

Staying at Traditional Machiya Hotel Shiomachi-An was the highlight of my trip! The sushi dinner was delicious, some of the best sushi I've ever had. The fish was so fresh and flavours were superb. The rooms were decorated in a beautiful style, full of traditional Japanese decor. It was amazing to stay somewhere special. The owner was very warm and welcoming and I'm so impressed that he runs this place himself. The location was excellent, set away from the super busy area, but close enough to walk to the sights and shopping. Thank you for the lovely travel memory.

Our 2 days stay at this very traditional home was another highlight of our 3 week trip to Japan. The best of all was the incredible and very extraordinary dinner with multiple, never before experienced, sushi courses. The chief is a bit strict about how to eat the fine food, but that's part of the fun "one bite" ;). Unforgettable days! Thanks very much

It is located very close to the the Itsukushima shrine and food stands and stores. The dinner course was amazing! Great sushi chef and so much sashimi! It will satisfy you plenty. Highly recommended.

Just stayed one night with my family and we didn’t want to leave. The house is over 100 years old but has modern conveniences and was very clean and comfortable. The futon beds were perfect. The AC was strong. And best of all was the food. Dinner was a 12-13 course omakase with fish we’ve never tasted, like blowfish. My two teens absolutely loved the experience and are already asking to go back. The owner/chef was very friendly. He went with us on a night walk and took photos of us along the way. What hospitality!

Authentic Japanese experience sleeping on tatami mats in historic building. We had the entire upstairs to ourselves with 2 bedrooms, large bathing room, and separate toilet room. Sushi dinner was amazing! 14 courses of some of the best sushi we have ever eaten. Breakfast was also very good with generous portions. It is a bit of a walk from ferry ~15-20 minutes and stairs to bedrooms are very steep, so I recommend leaving large luggage in a locker or something and might not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. But definitely worth the inconvenience.
