I've stayed in several ryokans and hotels on Miyajima before but this one really has many interesting facilities! First off, it's got great rooms, quite a few are newly renovated. We got an older room with separated tatami rooms, a kotatsu area, a dining table area with chairs and a TV, and a great (and very well used) massage chair, highly recommended! Food was served in-room for dinner, course by course was introduced by our dedicated servers. But it's the outside-of-room facilities which impressed me: an outdoors sheltered sea-side facing terrace with free drinks for guests only on the street level, an indoors 'book cafe' also only for guests (so you potentially can really spend time here leisurely if your room isn't ready yet), a 5th floor indoors piped jazz free drinks (including alcohol and hot drinks and soft drinks) lounge which also has private rooms, and an amazing rooftop open-air lounge which has spectacular views of the Itsukushima Shrine torii gates. Plus one of the only places with an actual onsen bath on Miyajima though I think there wasn't any rotenburo for that. Breakfast was Ryokan style at a restaurant. We also used the coin laundry and dryer quite a bit. We didn't manage to catch it (kids were too tired) but they also provided a bus to the Mt Misen ropeway which was much earlier than the usual free shuttle bus so it would have been great to head up to Mt Misen before the day-trippers descend on Miyajima. All in all, if I'm back in Miyajima again, I'm totally coming back here!
