Around Shimanami Beach × Stays Popular For SunsetsHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

At my family’s request, we wanted to stay in Onomichi, so we asked in advance for a birthday cake for our child. It was a wonderful stay. Thank you very much. The cake had a gentle flavor, and the staff came to celebrate with us, creating a warm atmosphere. The view from the Room was amazing, and the meals featured local ingredients—we enjoyed plenty of fresh seafood. Although the weather was often rainy, they advised us on how to walk around the area while watching the weather and provided guidance on nearby stations, so we were able to visit most of the places we wanted to see.

Since I arrived by train, the direct connection to the station was perfect. I could also see the Onomichi sea from the Room and had a wonderful time. The high ceiling made the Room feel more spacious than it actually was. The Room only had a shower, which was a downside, but overall it was a very good stay. I left relatively early the next day as well, and since it is directly connected to the Hotel, it was very convenient.

The room is not very large, but it is very clean, and the shuttle bus between the hotel and the station was extremely convenient. It significantly reduced walking time under the scorching summer sun, which was a great help. Reservations can be made online, and the bus runs multiple times back and forth, which was truly appreciated. The driver was also a very kind person.

I stayed for one night with my parents (three of us total) with both dinner and breakfast included. The Accommodation had a calm atmosphere centered around hinoki cypress, and I felt truly relaxed while enjoying the scent and warmth of the wood. The French dinner was carefully prepared dish by dish, and I was completely satisfied with both the presentation and the taste. Breakfast was also delicious, made with local ingredients, so I thoroughly enjoyed the meals throughout my stay. I also used the on-site public bath; since it was a weekday it wasn’t crowded, which allowed me to soak at a leisurely pace. Most memorable of all was the staff’s hospitality. Everyone greeted us with a smile and kindness, and their thoughtful attention to detail made me very happy. I felt comfortable from start to finish, and it was such a wonderful place that it naturally made me want to come back. My family loved it as well, and it became a great memory for us all.

This was my second stay. Breakfast was a buffet of bread and salad, plus a choice of one main dish from three options, and it was delicious. Since the Accommodation is a renovated warehouse, the Room is a little on the dark side, but very clean. I would like to stay here again when I visit Onomichi. Thank you very much.

The meals were delicious, and the view from the Room was excellent.

The stairs were probably tough for Grandma, but we all had a lively and enjoyable stay. The weather stayed sunny the whole time, so we were able to fully enjoy our post–Golden Week trip to Onomichi. It’s also close to the station, with a diner and bakery open from the morning nearby. Since we wanted plenty of ice for evening drinks, we bought some at AEON about a 15–20 minute walk away. Requests: Use of the parking lot before check-in. Please reduce the room fragrance slightly (I liked it, but our child didn’t). The triangular sink strainer for food waste is unstable. The garbage sorting rules were unclear. The frying pan sticks/burns easily. It would be helpful to have a basket to carry items when eating on the terrace. What we liked: Very clean—everything was spotless. There were plenty of towels, and hand towels were already set up in the restroom. Aluminum foil had been placed in the toaster for us as well. Next time, I’d love to ride the Shimanami Kaido by rental bicycle or rental bike. Everyone said they’d like to come again too, so when we have time, we’ll definitely stay again. Thank you very much.

We took a ferry with our rental car to Mukaishima. While the uphill approach was a bit challenging as expected, the view of Onomichi Channel and the town's nightscape from the Room and bath exceeded all expectations! The staff were friendly, allowing us to enjoy a peaceful and pleasant evening.
