AUTHENTIC JAPANESE DESIGN
Kurayado Iroha has all the character of a private residence, with guestrooms that combine luxury amenities with authentic Japanese design.
Inspired by the elements of a traditional ryokan, the guestrooms at Kurayado Iroha feature tatami mat flooring, low dining tables, futon beds and shoji screens. These are paired with deluxe amenities typical of a modern Japanese hotel, including en-suite bathrooms, adjustable lights and high-speed Wi-Fi. Not forgetting glorious views of the Seto Inland Sea. A highlight of the property is its open-air rooftop bath, where you can watch a stunning sunset over the Miyajima Strait as you bathe in reputedly restorative waters.
The hotel is situated just a stroll away from the Itsukushima Shrine, famed for its giant 12th century torii gate that appears to float in the water at high tide. The restaurant offers traditional Kaiseki dining, utilising only the best of seasonal ingredients to produce an array of gourmet and beautifully presented dishes. All of which are complemented by high-quality beverages and, on clear days, a superb view of the great torii gate.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
