We booked the Miyajima Grand online and the room available at the time was a standard Japanese/Western room with dinner & breakfast for two for 37,800 yen inc service charge and taxes, which we thought was reasonable value. We were a little confused about what the hotel actually looked like as the Itsukushima Shrine featured quite prominently on their website.... More

From the moment we arrived we knew our stay was going to be special. Miyajima is a beautiful island and the Grand Arimoto made it extra special. Upgraded to a room with a private outdoor bath was a fabulous touch to our Japanese room. A few minutes walk to the key sights made seeing the torii at different times of... More

What a lovely place and amazing staff. Part of our honeymoon was here in this wonderful island. The classic japanese bed, the onsen.......took us in another world. I have no words to describe the dinner: very tasty!! We love shabu shabu. The rooms are quite big and the ours had a wonderful view on the tori....what a speechless sunset!!

We spent night on Miyajima Island to see the famed Torii Gate at low tide when you can walk out to it and at full tide, and have time to see the Island. The Grand Hotel Arimoto made the experience all the more enjoyable. It is a wonderful hotel. The Arimoto had a very helpful staff person who spoke fluent... More

Just go there, a sublime experience. The surroundings, the views, the mountains, the deers, and the hotel. The rooms are very spacious, the decoration fabulous, the ground chairs are a piece of art, no to mention the cleanliness. The bathrooms and the open rotenburo not to be missed, and the service superb. The Kaiseki was one of the best to... More

I stayed with my mother and sister for two nights and enjoyed a good service. Staffs are friendly, yet some seemed a bit unfamiliar with the place and couldn't give us information about the area, where to go, how to get to places, recommendable route, etc. Food was good, the location was great. They give free night tour of the... More

I spent 1 night at the Grand Arimoto with my husband on May 20th 09. We caught the ferry across from the mainland which only took 10 minutes. i called them when we arrived and a bus came several minutes later to collect us. Be prepared for the slightly hairy ride to the hotel winding up mountains the narrow roads,... More

I spent one wonderful night at this charming hotel during end of summer. The staff was very attentive, making sure we we're comfortable with the yukata and double checking our dinner and breakfast decisions since we chose Japanese style food. We had a traditional room with an excellent view of the red torii gate, which looks even lovelier at night.... More
