"Stumbled upon Miyajima Umaimonokan by chance, and with the summer heat, grabbing an ice cream there was the perfect refreshment. 👌
The presentation was beautiful too 😍 I enjoyed it nearby, next to a clear, flowing stream. A charming little find. 😅"

For the ultimate luxury experience, you will want to stay at a ryokan (Japanese-style inn) which comes with beautiful Japanese rooms, full-course meals, and attached bathing facilities. I stayed at the Miyajima Grand Hotel Arimoto the first time I visited the island and was not disappointed in the least.
