Itsukushima Iroha's predecessor, Higashiya Ryokan, was established in 1867 when it is the Meiji Restoration. 155 years of history have passed in Itsukushima. During that time, the people in the Ryokan have changed, but we have maintained our deep will to the Ryokan. In March 2024, "Itsukushima Iroha" was renewed for the next generation. The history of "Itsukushima Iroha" has been created through the continuous efforts of many people. We cherish the precious history that our predecessors have built, and we will continue to create history day to day for the next 100 years. We would like to protect the Ryokan so that all visitors can experience the history and culture of Japan.
