Sion Hotel Private Luxury Villa Open Air Bath & Japanese Tea Ceremony Experience
A private villa located in the quiet alleyways of Miyajima, a World Heritage Site, that accommodates only one group per day. Although it’s in the heart of the tourist district, the moment you step inside, you’ll be enveloped in a tranquility where time seems to slow down. It’s a “stay where you live like a local,” allowing you to spend special moments with your loved ones without worrying about those around you.
Start your day with a morning stroll through the quiet, uncrowded streets of Miyajima. The scent of the sea, historic streetscapes, and deer strolling leisurely. You’ll experience the serene atmosphere of Miyajima—one that’s different from the daytime bustle and known only to locals.
The interior is a modern Japanese-style space, carefully renovated from a 50-year-old wooden building. We cherish traditional Japanese beauty, from the kumiko latticework crafted by master carpenters and the warm, natural wood finishes to the high ceilings with exposed beams and the quiet, authentic tea room. The bedrooms are equipped with high-quality bedding to help you slowly recover from the fatigue of travel.
In the evening, relax in the semi-open-air cypress bath. Soaking in the bath while enveloped by the scent of wood is a special moment that lets you forget the fatigue of sightseeing. As night falls, the air on Miyajima grows even quieter, and the entire inn is enveloped in a serene atmosphere.
In addition, the Sion Hotel offers an authentic tea ceremony experience in our tea room. The sound of matcha being prepared, the quiet passage of time, the hanging scrolls, and the traditional Japanese décor. One of the unique charms of this inn is that guests can do more than just “look”—they can actually experience Japanese culture firsthand. This experience is extremely popular among international guests.
We also provide information on restaurants and local shops in Miyajima, as well as support during your stay, so even first-time visitors to Miyajima can enjoy their stay with peace of mind.
More than just a place to stay,
“The time you spend on Miyajima itself becomes a cherished travel memory.”
We strive to be a place that offers you just that kind of stay.
