Hear It From Our Guests
Welcome to Mikuniya
Hajimemashite (nice to meet you)! This is Junya and Miku the cat. Miku owns Mikuniya; I just manage the place for her.
My father, a former social studies teacher, founded Mikuniya in 2013 with the desire to share the beauty of Miyajima with the world — and yes, Miku was already in charge back then. It is located just a five-minute walk from the Itsukushima Shrine, a World Heritage Site.
I have carried on his mission ever since. Miku is making sure of that.
Come and experience the warmth that only a guesthouse can offer
We pride ourselves on providing a warm and relaxing environment where you can experience the changing seasons and meet the wonderful creatures that inhabit our island. We strive to create spaces that preserve the essence of Japanese aesthetics and celebrate their history. Our main building used to be a holiday home for the Japan Mint, and features an expansive traditional Japanese garden and a spacious living room.
Our annexe, which we renovated in 2020, has been designated an Important Traditional Building. It is available for exclusive use and we hope you can enjoy special moments in this space, which combines historic charm with modern comforts.

If more people travel, the world will become a more peaceful place.
I truly believe this. Several years ago, I visited Spain alone. Meeting people from different countries and cultures was an invaluable experience for me.
I believe that the connections forged through travel broaden our horizons. They transform the anxiety of finding ourselves in unfamiliar places into excitement and deepen our understanding of diversity. They also strengthen our sense of caring for one another.
At Mikuniya, we aspire to facilitate such wonderful encounters. Our mission is to make travel affordable and comfortable so that our guests can create unforgettable memories with other travellers.

We look forward to being part of your journey.
See you soon,
Junya & Miku 🐾
