Sakura Shimanami Hotel Onomichi Ekimae

Onomichi had been a dream destination for me. I looked for a place close to the station with a great view. I was able to leave my luggage before check-in and fully enjoy sightseeing in Onomichi. The covered shopping arcade was also nearby, so I enjoyed shopping as well. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, and above all, the staff member who served us was very kind and wonderful. It turned into a lovely trip.

We stayed here for a girls’ trip to cycle the Shimanami Kaido.Since we went straight to Onomichi after work, it was a huge help that the Hotel is just a short walk from the station. After checking in, we walked to the shopping street for Onomichi ramen at night—so delicious! There’s also a relaxing space in front of the Hotel where you can unwind while looking out at the sea, so we bought canned beer and enjoyed it there. The next morning, we grabbed bread from a bakery in the shopping street and had breakfast—perfect.There’s also a rental bike shop nearby, so the location is super convenient. The room was very clean and comfortable, and LOVOT Sakura welcomed us in the lobby—so cute!We checked out the next day and headed out cycling. They also kept our luggage at the front desk after checkout, which was really helpful. Highly recommended Hotel!I’d love to stay again.
