Iwaso Ryokan

Founded in 1854, Iwaso blends traditional architecture with the quiet rhythms of nature. Tatami-mat rooms overlook forested hills or peaceful streams, and the gentle creak of wooden corridors adds to its nostalgic charm.

After a day exploring Itsukushima Shrine or hiking Mount Misen, soak in the ryokan’s indoor onsen before dining on seasonal kaiseki cuisine. It’s a stay steeped in ritual, rooted in place, and full of quiet beauty.
