Inside, the hotel emphasizes shared spaces and social interaction. The standout feature is THE POOLSIDE, a bar and guest lounge reimagined from a former indoor pool, where guests can enjoy breakfast, drinks, and casual gatherings under skylights.

Plan the arrival and next day
Keep the museum’s entry arrangements and Miyajima’s ferry connection in the plan. Add both the outward and return journey before choosing a final city activity. A downtown base favors local evenings; a short trip still needs time between the hotel, intercity station and ferry connection.
Selected overnight or alternative?
This is a curated alternative. It is not a selected overnight in the eight saved default Japan routes.
Before comparing room totals
Check the exact room, occupancy, meal plan, private or shared bathing and arrival deadline. Facilities described for the property may differ by room. Confirm current dates, final totals and terms through the booking options.
