Aki Grand Hotel & Spa

Staff was polite and helpful. Highly recommend the private onsen. My family spent a wonderful time in the hotel.

A quiet environment with beautiful settings. The staff were warm, polite and obliging. The room for our family of 6 was great; our children were thrilled with the tatami and futons, even tried drinking tea with the tea set provided. And the partial division for the two beds gave them a sense of being on their own. The shuttle bus was a convenient transportation to the train/streetcar/ferry terminal but the last one is around 6.30pm or so. However it's only a short walk from the terminal to the hotel, about 12 minutes. Walk is not advisable for small children as it's along the main road. Hotel is not on the Miyajima Island. Despite facing the Itsukushima shrine, it's too far for any views of it. You have ocean views. The private Onsen was clean and beautiful. It provided our girls a beautiful experience to a part of Japanese culture.
