- "Staying at Sekitei was such a stunning, relaxing, indulgent experience. My husband and I travel very often, and always try to stay somewhere unique and special (whether it’s a 5-star hotel, or a low-key hostel), and this really exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we felt like special guests, gently and kindly taken care of at every turn. Our room felt like a home unto itself, a combination of classic Japanese and midcentury modern styling, decorated with unique treasures and books. The private onsen, a walk through the garden before sake tasting in the lounge overlooking the koi pond, a beautiful dinner served in our room, waking up to the view over the bay — every single thing was careful and charming. We’ll treasure our time at Sekitei forever."

- "Great rabbit island, cute rabbits all around, delicious food, authentic Japanese hotel with hot bath." - "Okunoshima is an intriguing world that juxtaposes the gothic ruins of wars past with the liveliness of free-roaming rabbits (from domestic roots). The rabbits, wild pigs, crows, insects, snakes, rats, plants, and all other nonhumans live in an entanglement of give and take. The rabbits are beautiful, and they communicate their needs for food and water to those who visit. Please fill their water bowls with clean water when you visit! The views from the observation deck are breathtaking. This island is my favourite place on the planet, and I feel blessed to visit as often as possible. I can't wait to return."

We had the kaiseki evening meal in the banqueting hall, which was superb and to be recommended. We also enjoyed using the public baths and making use of the yukatas left in our room. Miyajima is quiet and serene after 5.30pm, so staying the night is a good option for those wanting to enjoy the location without crowds. Overall, it was a relaxing and unique stay."
