Hotel looks gorgeous and the guy working on the desk was very helpful and nice. I'd love to rate this hotel higher, however our toilet was leaking and there were no rooms left available for a room swap. The alarm on the TV went of at 5am for some reason which was frustrating as well, considering another review stated they had the same thing happen to them and the issue was obviously never rectified. My partner turned the alarm off for the next guests, which should have been taken care of before our stay. The pillows are weird and I woke up with a stiff neck. However I understand that this is a preference thing. Also the window in the personal in room onsen doesn't open all the way because it's blocked by the blinds, I don't know if this is by design though? However the room description states "open air onsen", or something similar. Anyway. If not for the toilet and TV I'd probably rate this hotel 5 stars.

Let me start off by saying that the location of this hotel is fantastic. The room we booked, Japanese Western with open air bath, non smoking, was spacious and comfortable and we were able to see the Torii gate from our window. However, there was also peeling wallpaper, a large amount of dust bunnies under the bed and even missing blinds on the window. We had to ring down to the front desk at 9pm to request the blinds be replaced otherwise the building lights would light up the whole room. They promptly attended to the matter, but why they hadn't fixed it prior to selling the room seems like a major oversight. Lastly, if you're looking for a literal open air bath, this is not your place. The window slides open just a crack, therefore, the room title is a bit misleading.

The staff was very friendly and kind and the hotel has great facilities. We enjoyed the onsen and breakfast. However, one of the blinds in our room was completely missing and the TV alarm went off at 3am - clearly this had been set by a previous guest. These issues affected our sleep quality. When I mentioned these issues to the manager, he was very apologetic. However I don’t think this hotel deserves the highest rating - for the price paid, I would expect flawless rooms.

The room I stayed in had a number of issues which should really have been addressed. Firstly, the room had glass bathing room in it. This wasn't sealed correctly and steamed up the windows in the room contstantly. Due to this, the windows had condenstaion/water dripping down the windows all night. This seems to have been for a long time as the wallpaper under the window was peeling off. I am faily certian black mould was developing there because of this. The window blinds were removed (I suspect due to the constant dripping of water/condensation causing damage to them like the wallpaper). This meant the extremely bright lights outside the windw were shining all night, and I had no way to turn them off. I also planned to use the dressing gown provided after a shower, however after lifting one, found bugs hiding under it which I had to clear out of the room. I suspect the left the window open to air it out/make less humid? But with no bug filter and the bright lights that can't be turned off, it attracted some bugs. The temprature in the room was hot and humid (from the poorly sealed glass bathing room). I wanted to open a window, but couldnt, because it would attact more bugs and without an incest filter in the window wasn't an option.

LiVEMAX Resort Akimiyajima is conveniently located, just a short walk from the jetty. Despite being close to the arrival point, the ryokan sits slightly away from the main crowds, offering a quieter and more relaxed stay. Check in was smooth, and the ryokan already had our Expedia reservations prepared. As with all traditional ryokan, copies of our passports were taken, and footwear must be removed at the main lobby before changing into the in house slippers. Our room featured a private onsen with a beautiful view of the O Torii, which was a highlight of the stay. Amenities such as coffee, toothbrushes, and combs were provided directly in the room. Coin laundry is not available in the hotel. The nearest laundromat is located outside the property, just a short walk away. Electric bicycles are available for rent at the resort, at Y500 for 2 hours or Y1000 for a full day, making it easy to explore Miyajima at your own pace. The public onsen areas are located on the second floor and include both an indoor bath and an outdoor pool with a deck. Free ramen is served on the second floor from 9.30pm. The restaurant and smoking room are located on level six, and there is a small snacks shop at the main lobby. The ryokan is located just off the bustling Omotesandō Shopping Street, with plenty of food options nearby. Overall, LiVEMAX Resort Akimiyajima offers convenience, comfort, and a traditional ryokan experience with a memorable view of the O Torii.

The most that stands out in our (wife and I) minds is the dinner and breakfast. I chose the half board plan with the room reservation. The dinner included almost everything from seafood, chef prepared steak, and sukiyaki boxes. The table had a grill to cook shelled clams, oysters, shrimp,and more. Plus a sukiyaki hot pot. The breakfast was just as fabulous with Japanese and western choices. Our room was Western/Japanese with a hot tub enclosure. The tub would/could not get hot as an onsen tub which was disappointing. The room was adequate but there was hardly any storage space. Everything stayed in our suitcase. All in all we were there for one night to enjoy the Miyajima Island without the midday crowd. And to beat the crowd to enjoy Mt. Misen.

Fantstic large room, with a great view of the Tori at night. Reviews we read had us worried the hotel would be too old, however we found that while some of the finishing around the room (mainly wood surfaces) are a bit older, the general experience and hotel are quite current and renovated. The location is fantastic and the amenities are great, would definitely stay there again. As a side note, the island is pretty "quiet" at night, so if you are arriving late, definitely plan to stay the next day at least for lunch, since you will probably arrive as everything is closing down and will miss it if you leave early.

The pool was green, everything was dirty from the elevator in the lobby to the room we stayed in. The room definitely didn’t give the same energy the pictures gave . It smelled, there was a spider in my room, and housekeeping was horrible. I will not be recommending this place to anyone.

Only 3 stars! Staff is excellent but the hotel needs a lot of love. The non-smoking room had a strong mold smell worse than the smoking room. Even though they give us a hard time about our room request that we did a month earlier with Expedia ( they say they can’t accommodate room request after the reservation is done even though Expedia assured us the request made was granted.) but at the end they worked with us. They have buffet for breakfast and dinner.

We had 1940 dinner time. Food was dry and cold. Food was sitting too long. Need to be replaced after first sitting. Sashimi, oyster in shell, scallops in shell, clams excellent.

This property overall is very nice. The facilities feel a bit older but they are more upscale. The rooms have a ton of space in them and the onsen was great. There were some quirks, like outside lights not turning off and staff telling us they could not be turned off but then they turned off a bit later. You can rent e-bikes which we did as we got there early before check in.

Great service from the staff and room (432) was the nicest i have stayed in over 21 years visiting Japan. This is a traditional style Japanese Hotel so no shoes but well worth the stay. Highly recommended and a must over ight stay if visiting Miyajima !
