Nakaya House ＠ Miyajima

Welcome to Nakaya.
Nakaya is a small bed & breakfast/minshuku which opened on November 1st 2011 on Miyajima, the island with the Itsukushima Shrine - a World Cultural Heritage and Ramsar site.

Excellent location: 4 min. to the shrine / one block to shopping arcade
It is located on Machiya street, which was the main street in Edo period, and is about 4 minutes walk to the shrine, 7 minutes walk from the pier and one block away from Omotesando Shopping arcade.

Unique Accommodation: Japanese House / One group per night
Curretly, Nakaya will be reserved only for you and your accompained guests up to 6 persons (in other word, no other guest present) .
Guest rooms are in a Japanese house build in 70's and lounge/dining house used to be a grocery store.

We may not be able to offer hotel/ryokan-like convenience and services but these unique settings can provide you with a cosy and friendly atmosphere like staying at your friend's or relative's house. And by staying with the owner family, you could even experience a slice of ordinary local life on Miyajima.

The owner speaks English
Just like a personal concierge, the owner will help you and answer your questions as much as she can.

A Day trip is NOT enough!
Miyajima island has not only the Itsukushima Shrine but also great nature, beautiful sunsets and night views, delicious local dishes and more. You would miss all this if you visit the island for only a day!

Budget price offer
Just like other tourist sites, staying on Miyajima could be expensive. We offer you budget price so that you can enjoy Miyajima fully.

Make reservation now!
Because of limited number of hotels and ryokans, it is hard to stay over on the island on high season; March, April, May, July, August, October and November.
If you are planning to visit Miyajima on these months, make sure you have reservation before your visit!

I hope you would visit Miyajima, the island with the World Cultural Heritage and Ramsar site, and enjoy its beauty, culture, nature, food.... everything!

Thank you!
