Ōmi-shima Ikoi-no-Ie

Top choice in Hiroshima Region


As young people abandoned the island, an Ōmi-shima family converted a deserted schoolhouse into this boutique guesthouse under the guidance of famous Japanese architect Itō Toyo. Original wooden beams, classroom signs, taps and lamps provoke nostalgia even in non-Japanese guests. Cedar-chic Western or tatami rooms are modern with black-tiled bathrooms. Staying here, complete with seafood meals, is a unique experience.
