Onomichi Hansei

Hiroshima Prefecture／Onomichi

Savor exquisite kaiseki cuisine at this 13-room traditional Japanese Accommodation with over 250 years of history.

The port town of Onomichi, which has flourished in the maritime industry since the Middle Ages, has developed a unique culture through the exchange of numerous people, goods, and wealth. This "miniature garden-like city" woven by the sea, mountains, and islands is a place where you can enjoy the "bounty of the mountains and sea," including seafood from the Seto Inland Sea such as oysters, local vegetables grown in the warm climate, and seasonal fruits. [Onomichi Hansei] is a small inn with a restaurant that inherits over 250 years of history, featuring 13 rooms. It is a renewed version of the restaurant [Tohan], which originated from the culinary inn [Ehan] loved by late Edo period patriots and Hirobumi Ito. We have created a stay where you can feel close to the "traditions and food culture of Onomichi" while being inside the facility, starting with the "cuisine showcased by the small inn with a restaurant" that inherits the history of the former restaurant. The concept of [Onomichi Hansei] is "Heartful, Japanese Modern Classic." We offer hospitality with services that mainly delight female guests, incorporating a "Japanese Modern Classic" taste into the interior decorations and room designs.

  • Family Trip

    My first trip to Onomichi. I chose Hansei, highly rated for its outstanding cuisine. The kaiseki meals made with seasonal Setouchi ingredients were exceptional—each dish carefully prepared, and while true to classic kaiseki, they also incorporated new ingredients in a way that was both impressive and delicious. Even the pickles were finely scored with hidden knife work, showing thoughtful consideration for the guest. I was amazed by the high level of quality. The special sea bream chazuke (with sesame sauce) at breakfast was also superb.<br><br>As wonderful as the food was, what moved me most was the attentiveness and care shown by all the staff. From check-in to check-out, their hospitality was excellent. One member of staff in charge of dining even quietly placed an extra dish beside a photo of a family member who could not join us at breakfast and dinner—an incredibly touching gesture.<br><br>The “Travel Memory Book” was something that staff had written for the first time, but it became a truly lovely keepsake—the carefully drawn illustration and message conveyed their warmth so clearly.<br><br>With such wonderful staff and delicious food, Hansei is a place I would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

  • We had a blissful stay.

    This was my first trip to Onomichi, and I made a Reservation because the dining Reviews were so highly rated. It’s far from the station, so I took a taxi. The building was clean, and being able to leave my shoes and move between Rooms on tatami made it very relaxing. Breakfast and dinner were, of course, wonderful—delicious beyond expectations—and I was completely satisfied. The presentation was beautiful, the ingredients were excellent, and I could really feel the care put into each dish; it was a truly blissful time. After sightseeing in extreme heat, the welcome drink (cold tea) and sweets were delicious and brought me back to life. There was a capsule coffee machine in the Room, which was great. The Room is compact, but everything—from the bath to the washbasin area—was efficiently laid out and spotless, so I was very happy with it. There’s also a coin laundry, which was a big help for summer travel. All of the staff were kind and welcoming, making it very comfortable—I could really feel their hospitality. If it were closer by, this is an Accommodation I’d want to visit again and again.

Introduction of the Accommodation

Image a_tp_01.jpg
After more than 250 years of history, the ryotei small Stays [Onomichi Hansei] opened on December 27, 2020.

Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, a "miniature garden city" with a natural good harbor, has flourished as a logistics hub for maritime transport since ancient times. The scenic beauty woven by the sea, mountains, and islands has captivated many literary figures, and it has been recognized as a Japan Heritage site for two consecutive years, attracting much attention both domestically and internationally as a historic commercial district. Ryotei Koyado [Onomichi Hansei] is an inn with 13 rooms, located 8 minutes by car from Onomichi Station, surrounded by the history and nature of the Seto Inland Sea. It is a renovated version of the ryotei "Tohan," which was formerly the culinary inn "Ehan," loved by late Edo period patriots and Hirobumi Ito. "We aim to inherit and utilize the history and will of this land to further revitalize the entire region and tourism industry." In December of Reiwa 2 (2020), we embarked on a new beginning as a place to disseminate new culture from Onomichi, inheriting the will of the building that has hosted guests from both domestic and abroad for over 250 years.

The trade name of [Onomichi Hansei] connecting Edo and Reiwa

Onomichi, which celebrated its 850th anniversary of opening in 2019, was once a bustling town where many people came and went as large and small sailing ships, such as the Kitamaebune, entered and exited the Onomichi Waterway. In those days, canvas for ships was actively woven. Furthermore, the restaurant "Kohan" (Kohan) was affectionately known as "Tosei Han'eiro" (Tosei Han'eiro), and from its history, two characters were taken to name it "Han'oto," imagining the sound of sails heard from the distant past. Additionally, the logo adopts the "Kitamaebune," which connected ports and cultures across the whole country during the Edo period, as its motif. With the history of Onomichi and Kohan (Kohan) embedded in its name, it begins anew as a property in the Reiwa era.
