Good vegetarian/vegan options - Edit
Located not far from the ferry dock, you can find this little place.
Read moreThey have a separate vegetarian/vegan menu and most of them are vegan.
Staff doesn’t speak a lot of English but will help you if they can.
Decant portion and not that expensive.
They have limited tables inside so you may want to go as early as possible.

Delightful stay - Edit
We had dinner and breakfast included. Splurged a little extra for the full ryokan experience. We were very happy we did. Food was great, seven course served amazingly fast. Staff remembered our names and are very friendly. The chef came by our table and explained the dishes in detail, adding context to ingredients origins.
Read moreIn the morning during breakfast we had an opportunity to talk with Teppei the chef again and he even recommended Saido to us, according to him (and now us) the pioneer of vegan food in Japan. I've felt very taken care of in this lovely place.
Pros: Vegan course dinner & breakfast , Knowledgeable staff, Speak English well
Cons: Can't give 5 stars

great pre-hike lunch - Edit
so glad we stopped here! we came for lunch after taking the ferry over from hiroshima; this ryokan and restaurant are a straight shot from the ferry terminal exit.
Read moreit was a treat to find vegan-friendly agedashi tofu; I got the lunch set and polished off everything, which enough to carry me through the mt misen hike but not so much I felt stuffed. the family that runs it is truly lovely and can provide a separate veg/vegan menu for you if you ask. a little pricier since it’s part of the ryokan but well worth it!

Closed during dinnertime - Edit
Don't count on this for dinner. When we realised it was only open for staying customers / reservations (?), there was nowhere else to go for dinner. Couldn't find the opening times anywhere.

Lovely experience - Edit
I was in this ryokan for dinner, night and breakfast, and it was an unforgettable experience. The dinner was a sequence of seven portions of gourmet and genuine Japanese food, including vegan sushi, miso soup, cooked and fresh vegatables, fruits dessert. Breakfast consists of various little portions of vegetables and spices to eat with rice, a delicious muschroom soup, tofu, and fresh fruits with yogurt. Staff was very kind.

Ottima esperienza - Edit
Ho mangiato in questo ryokan caratteristico. Titolare davvero gentile, parla inglese. Alcuni piatti vegani nel menù. Ho preso il set tempura di verdure che mi è stato servito con del riso e del brodo vegetale. Ottimo servizio dall’inizio alla fine.

Opening times may be wrong. Turned up 7pm one night and 6:30pm the second night to be turned away saying they we’re closed - people sat in there. Was also shut at 3pm so no idea what the hours are. This on HappyCow is the only option available in the evening so if you are staying on Miyajima make sure you bring provisions

Delicious - Edit
Our vegan family started our day on the island with lunch here. We ordered two tempura sets and one fried tofu set. It was all delicious. Very little English is spoken but our server was very sweet and understood what vegan means, I also showed her my vegan allergy card. If we lived near here, we’d come again!

Familiar atmosphere - Edit
After a long day of discovering the island we were very happy to get some well made vegan food here. We ordered everything from the menu and liked everything. We were very hungry 😅 The waitress was very nice and also warned us about the typhoon (which luckily didn't hit us) and gave us a vegan/vegetarian guide for the prefecture.

First Japanese Impression - Edit
This was the first place I've been to in Japan and although this place isn't vegan, they have a special vegan menu and they made a special and warm first impression for me on true Japanese food.
Read moreThe place is served by a few very nice elderly ladies which don't know english much, but it wasn't much of a problem and they quickly made sure we will get what we need.
The place is really comfortable and cozy with a very lovely cat walking around although quite expensive
