"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."

"Amazing rooms, great onsen on site (cover your tattoos!) in a phenomenal location to go to Miyajima Island after!"

"Amazing place! I highly recommend. Staff is top notch, room was spotless and had every amenity you could want. If you're looking at booking, don't think about it just do it. You'll be glad you did."

"Staff, location and clean room"

"Great area"

"absolutely loved my stay, from the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. The location is perfect — tucked into the trees near Momijidani Park, with a peaceful stream running right outside. Everything about Iwaso felt authentic and special. If you want a true taste of traditional Japanese hospitality, this is the place to stay."
