"Shintatsuan”, located in Higashimachi of an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings on Miyajima, is a typical Miyajima machiya. It is a long, narrow building with a narrow frontage. (Machiya is a traditional wooden house. The historical appearance of machiya is one of the charms of Miyajima.)
It was built around 1930 and it is said that neighbors used to come and go through the earthen floor inside the building as if it were a small alley connecting the streets in front and behind the building in the old days. "Shintatsuan” is located near the Miyajima Pier Terminal, halfway to the World Heritage Site "Itsukushima Shrine," in a quiet neighborhood.
The Miyajima machiya was renovated and turned into an inn "Shintatsuan” for private use, limited to one group, starting in the summer of 2023. The interior design creates the relaxed atmosphere of an old private home. The bathrooms were redesigned and focused on cleanliness. The building is also all-electric. In addition, the exterior design has been restored based on a trace survey by experts, and the wooden frame has been reinforced to improve earthquake resistance. In the spring of 2024, it has reopened as a comfortable and safe inn to stay. Since the entire building is for private use, you can relax and enjoy your time with your companions with no worries.
The earthen floor on the first floor is an old-fashioned space that offers an emotional lodging experience. Behind the earthen floor is a mini-kitchen equipped with a microwave oven, electric kettle, and refrigerator. The owner is stationed in a separate building on the same property and can respond immediately to any problems, so you can stay at ease. The Japanese-style room, used as a bedroom, is located on the second floor and can accommodate up to three people.
Despite its location in the town center, it is very quiet at night. Sometimes you can hear deer and birds singing. It is our hope that our guests will have an extraordinary time on Miyajima and enjoy a relaxing and calm lodging experience.
