We (two couples) spent one night here, based on the recommendation of a family member who travels to Japan regularly and said that Miyajima is one of her favorite places. We wanted to find a ryokan with private onsens on the island, and Kinsuikan had availability on our date. Their website and communication were a bit wonky to actually make reservations, but luckily it all worked out in the end. All of us enjoyed our stay. We had large 4th floor ocean-view rooms with semi-open air onsens. We were served dinner and breakfast in the rooms, which was a very nice treat! The room was very comfortable and felt luxurious in a 1990s resort kind of way. Lots of lighting and lighting switches. Beds were hard but very comfortable – we slept really well. Good AC. The bathroom had tons of bath/spa toiletries. The fridge was stocked with a variety of free beverages including a little bottle of bubbly. The onsen was really nice: huge, so we could stretch out, and good water temperature. The meals were great: less food than we had had at our previous ryokan, which we appreciated, and with more interesting spins on traditional fare; and of course tons of freshly caught seafood. The Kinsuikan has a rooftop deck with gorgeous views, a 5th floor coffee and beverage area with a freezer full of little strawberry and vanilla ice creams, a little library, a little first floor covered open-air café…lots of nooks and crannies to explore! The staff were all really nice. While we were there, it seemed like a lot of the other guests were older Japanese tour groups. The island is really magical at night when day trippers leave, and we feel that is pretty much what you’re paying for when you pay a fair sum of money to stay overnight at someplace like the Kinsuikan. We totally felt it was worth it, but wouldn’t need to spend more than one night here.
