Mikiya is Ryokan (Japanese inn) where Shiga Naoya stayed when he wrote "In Kinosaki". It is a recommended Ryokan (Japanese inn) with good hot springs, a classy and calm interior, and a literary atmosphere. Kinosaki is also home to many literary monuments, so you can take a literary walk around the outdoor Visiting hot springs and the monuments.

This is a purely Japanese-style Ryokan (Japanese inn) associated with Dazai Osamu, which is registered as a national tangible cultural property. The best thing about it is that you can see Mt. Fuji from your room. The entire building has been renovated, so it is clean and beautiful. There is also a natural hot spring, and the food is mainly local fish dishes, so the prices are within your budget.

I think it's a little over 20,000 yen per person per night, but why not make the effort? It's located in Momijidani, Miyajima. It's nice in autumn, but you can also enjoy the fresh greenery. If you're looking for a place to stay that has connections to authors and literary works, I think it will meet your needs. Examples of guests include Natsume Soseki, Takahama Kyoshi, Mori Ogai, Shimoda Utako, Saito Mokichi, Yoshikawa Eiji, Saijo Yaso, Ikenami Shotaro, Uno Chiyo, and Helen A. Keller. Do you have a favorite author? As you know, Miyajima is a land associated with the Heike clan, and when you think of the Heike clan, you think of The Tale of the Heike. It might be nice to reminisce about the Genpei period.

It is known that Toson Shimazaki helped excavate the hot spring here. There is a special corner in the inn where you can learn about his work. Since it is a hot spring inn, you can also enjoy an open-air bath. Since it is 100% natural hot spring, you can relax and unwind.
