IKI RETREAT KAIRI MURAKAMI by Onko Chishin

"Simply the place to stay on Iki Island, if you look for a luxurious Onsen Ryokan. The property has heritage but is very well maintained. We liked our room with private onsen with a spectacular view over the bay, a spacious sitting area and very comfortable beds. High quality toiletries are provided. The minibar was included in the rate and gets daily restocked – nice! There is a bar/library area, where you can order drinks or enjoy free coffee. Upon check-in we were told there is water and sparkling wine as well, but we never saw any – guess only on offer during a narrow timeframe. There are some larger onsens which you can book (nicer during daytime, as the view at night is limited), and you can visit the gender-separated public baths at any time The hotel has a couple of electric BMWs you can rent, so very easy to explore the island and be back again for dinner. Of course, transfer from and to the ferry is provided as well. A small town with some restaurants is a short stroll away, should you fancy to eat/drink out."
