Around Shimanami Beach × Accommodation With Relaxing Welcome LoungeHighly rated facilities at Hotel·Ryokan

I visited again. Even in the summer heat, many people were sightseeing in Onomichi. This time, I rode the ropeway for the first time—it climbs all at once and was truly thrilling. At a museum along the way to the Hotel, there was an exhibition about cats that felt very soothing. At the café, I enjoyed sweets with their recommended pairing. Dinner featured a variety of ingredients that went perfectly with wine. Breakfast was so delicious that I had a second serving of rice. I also enjoyed the letter room for the first time. I used to study calligraphy, so once I started writing different things with a brush pen, time flew by. It was also fun to see other guests’ creations. Spending summer in Onomichi while sharing everyone’s memories was wonderful too.

It was my first time staying at a capsule Hotel, and the inside was spacious and the bedding was soft, which I really liked. The complimentary drinks were great, and the amenities were also very good. The value for money was excellent. I would like to stay again if I have the chance.

This was my third stay, and each time I leave thinking, “I’m glad I stayed here—I’ll come back.” It’s a Ryokan where the artwork in the lounge and the amenities in the guest rooms are all wonderful traditional tools that showcase Japanese craftsmanship, and I’m happy to discover different pieces each visit. I was a little worried after hearing the chef had changed, but it was completely unfounded—the flavors and menu were both excellent. Since we stayed the day after my birthday, they prepared a beautiful dessert plate for me. I was impressed by the skill of the young pastry chef. The wine pairing was also great. Breakfast was thoughtfully arranged as well, and I think I’ll always remember how delicious it was to grill Onomichi ingredients over a hibachi. Every member of staff is pleasant, and I truly appreciate how they stay close while keeping just the right distance. We’ll be back in winter—thank you in advance.

Five of us stayed over the weekend of 7/25–26. We debated for a long time between this place and another Hotel, but chose this one because the Onsen was a big draw. Since it was a weekend after summer vacation started, we were worried it would be crowded—whether we could get into the bath at a good time and whether we’d be able to enjoy the breakfast service—but in the end our timing was perfect. We were able to relax in the bath, and we were very satisfied with the complimentary breakfast. We also enjoyed the welcome drink, and considering how affordable it was, we were extremely happy with all the services. From now on, whenever we travel, if there’s a Hotel like this at our destination, we’ll definitely choose it. At breakfast, one of the female staff members kept everything well stocked and moving smoothly. It seemed there was an issue with the miso soup machine, so she kindly came around to each table asking if anyone wanted miso soup. She was friendly and warm-hearted, which left a great impression. If we ever come back to Hiroshima again someday, we’d love to stay with you again.

It’s within walking distance from the station, but it’s a bit far. However, there are restaurants and convenience stores nearby, so it wasn’t a problem. The front desk staff were kind and friendly. They also accommodated a change to the breakfast time from what I had told them in advance, and I was very satisfied with the breakfast.

I reserved a Room on the side with views of the Shimanami Kaido. The view was wonderful, and at night the illuminated Onomichi Bridge was beautiful—I kept the curtains open and enjoyed it for hours. Mukaishima was right in front of me, which sparked my interest, so I took a ferry over the next day and explored. The in-room amenities were minimal, but everything was thoroughly cleaned and very comfortable.

This was my second stay. Whenever I come to Mihara, this is the Hotel I choose without hesitation. Women receive amenity sets that include face masks, and from 4:00 PM there are free drinks, rice balls, and even shaved ice. From 6:00 PM, one beer per person is free, and from the second beer onward it’s only 300 yen, which is a great deal. What was disappointing this time was the strong smell of cigarettes around the front desk area—it made me feel sick.

This is a nice Hotel with a spacious, clean parking lot.

We arrived by rental car. At first, even with Google Maps we couldn’t find the Accommodation’s parking area and were a bit confused, but when we called the Accommodation, a staff member came to pick us up right away. Everyone on the staff was kind and pleasant. The meals were also delicious. No matter the time of day, the view from our Room of Onomichi’s townscape and Senkoji Temple was truly beautiful. We did notice some noise from footsteps in the hallway and doors opening and closing, but we were still able to rest well. We would love to stay here again next time we visit Onomichi. Thank you very much.

The photos online were not exaggerated; it was a lovely Facility. The reason for giving 4 points to the Facility is that sounds, possibly from the upper floor, were slightly noticeable.

With prices rising, if you want to save money above all else, I can confidently recommend this Hotel. Night curry, breakfast buffet, welcome alcohol, and more. The amenities were also very well stocked. The grilled mackerel at breakfast was cooked with extra care and was delicious. I didn’t use the men-only large public bath because the water was too lukewarm, but it may be kept that way since there isn’t a dedicated cold plunge next to the sauna.
