Hirayama Ryokan

We’re talking with my family about when we can visit again—thanks to the lovely hostess and the wonderful seafood.We’ve come to love Iki.Thank you very much for your kind hospitality.

The natural flowing Onsen features a red, cloudy bath, and soaking while admiring the painted cloud whale and mermaid in the indoor bath is truly soothing. For dinner and breakfast, you will be treated to exquisite creative dishes made with fish freshly caught by the owner himself, homegrown vegetables, free-range chicken eggs, and other blessings of Iki Island. Both your taste buds and eyes will be utterly delighted. Even though we chose a smaller course, we were completely full midway through. The advice that leftovers would be used as fertilizer or chicken feed eased our guilt slightly; however, I regretted my small appetite when my companion who finished everything said it was incredibly delicious. This Ryokan is the first I've encountered that is so dedicated to using only local produce, homegrown ingredients, handmade items, and every blessing of life to its fullest extent. Staying at this Ryokan allowed me to feel gratitude for Iki's nature while appreciating their commitment to being part of its cycle in a sustainable way—it was truly fulfilling. Every staff member here was kind and warm-hearted; their exceptional hospitality in various moments still brings back fond memories even now.
