We stayed at the Yamaichi Bekkan for 2 incredible nights and were treated like family from the start.  Shinko, our hostess was so welcoming, warm, and genuine.  Our chef, Teppei, explained the beautifully prepared, incredibly delicious, many-course meals and the local ingredients. Both Shinko and Teppei were so fun and engaging to talk with and learn from.  

Our room was clean, beautiful, and bright.  The location was wonderful, just across the street from the ferry and only a 10-minute walk past a bunch of shops to the Otorii Gate.  

The best part of the experience was getting to know Shinko, Teppei, and the server, Yoko.  Their warm smiles and conversation every time we came in the door made us feel right at home.  

The meals were also absolutely exceptional, and we were so happy to have both breakfasts and dinners there. Teppei described each course with passion and enthusiasm, not only listing ingredients and cooking methods, but with personal stories of favorite Japanese customs.  The dinners were elegantly-presented, delicious, and changed from one night to the next.  For example, one dinner included seafood chowder, sashimi, dumpling soup, rolled egg omelets, beef, tempura vegetables and seafood, miso, and cheesecake.  They also checked with us about dietary preferences and would have adjusted appropriately.  

We can't recommend this hotel any higher.  We connected with the people there and the location so comfortably and so easily.  We did not want to leave.

100% Perfect!

We stayed at the Yemaich Bekkan in May 2024 as part of our Honeymoon. We absolutely loved this hotel and its amazing management and staff. We spent 3 weeks travelling around Japan and this was one of our favourite hotels due to the wonderful hospitality and the amazing food. We were made to feel very special, we were so sorry to only be stopping for 2 days. I can throughly recommend staying at this hotel. If we ever go back to Japan, the Yemaichi Bekkan will definitely be on our list to visit again.

A short Honeymoon treat at the most welcoming Hotel

Probably our favourite place to stay in our 2-week holiday, with the best food and warmest welcome. 

Shinko-San was very friendly and welcoming. She kindly annotated a local map and advised us on what to see on Miyajima, as well as what times the low and high tides were to see the torii gate. 

Go and see the torii gate at sunset - the gate is floodlit so we got stunning photos there. All the day trippers had gone home so it was nice and quiet. Miyajima itself is such a lovely island, with a great shopping street full of places to eat, including street food, and a shop selling Studio Ghibli items which was perfect for my daughter. We did the cable car up Mount Misen, did the final walk up to the top, then walked all the way down. Beautiful and peaceful. 

The food here was extremely tasty, presented beautifully, and Shinko-San explained what everything was, and how to eat it. She wanted to make sure that we all liked it and substituted items for our son when there were ingredients that he didn’t eat. We especially enjoyed the tofu dishes and the fried oysters (you can see the oyster beds when you are on the ferry over to the island). Highly recommend the Japanese-style breakfast - the best breakfasts we had in 2 weeks. 

We stayed in a Japanese-style room (4 people) and there was 1 shower and 2 toilets in there, which was good. The futons were very comfortable, and we had a lovely view of the water. The bathroom that had the shower and toilet was quite cramped but it was fine for the 2 nights that we stayed there. 

We loved our stay here, and would definitely recommend it.

Highlight of our holiday - would highly recommend

This is a fabulous place to stay with lovely staff and wonderful food.
I have rarely felt so welcome!
The hotel is ideally situated close to the ferry and it’s only a short walk to see all the main sights.
But the food and the warm welcome are the stars of the show

A lovely place to stay

We went twice to this restaurant during our tour to Miyayima. It is a small restaurant with a vegetarian/ vegan option, not very common in Japan though. 
The waiter told us how the food was supposed to be eaten and all the stuff was very friendly and kind. 
I can recommend this restaurant not only for vegetarians but for everyone. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 stars.

Veggie friendly and very kind stuff

Really friendly and helpful owner. We were made to feel welcome.
The room was traditional, comfortable and clean.
Breakfast and dinner was exceptionally good with a range of delicious courses. The best Japanese meal so far.

Friendly Family Run Hotel - great food!

If you're ever going to stay at Miyajima, please stay here. You won't regret it. The host Shinko-san is the loveliest lady you will ever meet and she will cater to dietary requirements such as vegetarianism. I never wanted to leave! The rooms are lovely and so comfortable, and the hospitality is second to none. 

Amazing hospitality 

We arrived in Miyajima on 26 October and spent two nights at the delightful Yamaichi Bekkann.  Shinko, the lady who runs this is possibly their nicest host we have ever stayed with, anywhere.  She speaks broken English but had long chats with my wife.  She has a permanent smile and just exudes happiness and loveliness - a real inspiration.

We stayed two nights with breakfast and dinner included.  The food is amazingly good.  All home cooked and fresh.  Some of the best meals we had in Japan.

Yamaichi Beckon is diagonally opposite the ferry and a short walk to the UNESCO shrines.  There are a couple of big hotels nearby but we are so glad we stayed at Yamaichi Bekkan.  

I cannot recommend this place enough.  Even if you cannot stay here, then you must eat here.  You won't regret it.

We travelled with Inside Japan company who recommended it.

Amazing hospitality, Great food

My friend and I are vegetarian and were recommended this place. When we arrived at 5 pm when it was due to open, the owner said they had run out of food because of lunch rush, so they were closed. But he felt bad because there aren't many other veggie options on the island, so he invited us in and made a delicious vegetable tempura for us using what he had left. It was only ¥1200 and was delicious. The staff were so incredibly kind. I cannot recommend this place enough. Small businesses like this are struggling right now due to Covid and a decrease in tourists. So if you're in the area, please go and show them your support!

Amazing Staff, Delicious Food

Restaurant is located almost opposite the ferry terminal..200 metres. Very friendly welcome on entering restaurant for lunch on a cold wet day. Tempura prawns were the best tempura I have experienced so far on this Japan trip. Baked oysters are a local speciality which were delicious and the traditional custard soup (not sweet at all) was full of flavour ..also containing seafood including local conger eel delicacy. Accompanied by glass of hot plum wine on a cold and wet day was perfect. Super friendly people who also kindly spoke very good English. Great place for a high quality lunch on a visit to Miyajima island. Highly recommended.
