I absolutely loved this place. The location was about 10 mins walk (easy) uphill from the main shrine in Miyajima, however on arrival if you call the ryokan they will pick you up (note it takes longer to drive to the ryokan than to walk, but you should not try to take your bags up to the ryokan yourself due... more

Stayed for one night at Momiji-so but wish it had been longer. The location is picture perfect, surrounded by acers and pine trees with deer wandering freely by. Our room overlooked the koi carp pond and offered a wonderfully relaxing antidote to sightseeing. The food was brilliant - not being a family of fish lovers, the owner had prepared a... more

We really enjoyed our stay here!!! We only wish that we could have stayed at least one more night. Granny and her son and daughter-in-law were great hosts. They provided us with flashlights to use at night to go see the tori gate. They picked us up and dropped us back off at the ferry. We stayed in 2 rooms... more

We decided to splurge one night on our trip to Japan to stay in a traditional Japanese Ryokan....it was definitely worth it! The reviews on this site were completely accurate. Momiji-so was in a beautiful location right in the middle of the national park on Miyajima island. The rooms were spotless and the staff were both friendly and helpful. When... more

Agree with much of the positive stuff other reviewers have said - we stayed in a downstairs room with a corner verandah overlooking the koi carp pool - lovely. It was pretty chilly outside - and on the verandah - in January so didn't use it as much as we'd have liked to but enjoyed it from inside through the... more

very disappointed, we went to other ryokan in Japan an it s the worst. we can t walk around very late after dinner because we have to be back at 9. the dinner is mediocre, we eat better in so much ryokan less expensive. Breakfast is continentql, no japanese. The room is clean and large but the decoration was cheap... more

We stayed at Momiji-so for one night in September, 2008. It was one of two ryokans we stayed at during our 14 night trip to Japan. The staff was courteous and friendly, our room was clean, the setting was gorgeous, and the experience was very authentic. We arrived in late afternoon and asked the information desk inside the ferry terminal... more

I had a wonderful time in Momijiso. The grandmom (owner) was very nice and tried her best to chat with us in English when we arrived and gave us an ice green tea and maple cake. What a nice treat in a burning summer! The ryokan is small but our room was quite large and had private bathroom. They offer... more

We stayed here for one night and were absolutely blown away. Momiji-so is in the woods leading up to the Miyajima ropeway in a beautiful spot. It is close enough to the port to enjoy an easy walk to all sights and secluded enough to enjoy the peace of the forest. Stand-out points included our beautiful room - I loved... more
