후쿠야마 · 오노미치 × 석양이 인기 있는 숙소만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

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.

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.

I stayed on a Saturday night over the weekend, and perhaps because it operates as a Business Hotel, the pricing felt very affordable. I stayed in a twin Room; it was reasonably spacious and very well cleaned. However, there was no safe in the Room, which was slightly inconvenient. There is no shared bath inside the Hotel, but we were informed that it partners with a nearby Onsen Facility. I used the in-room unit bath, though the drainage felt a bit slow. The anago hitsumabushi for dinner was excellent and truly enjoyable. With its reasonable Accommodation Fee, this Hotel is recommended for sightseeing in Onomichi and enjoying Hiroshima’s famous conger eel.

My son has become hooked on cycling the Shimanami Kaido, and he especially wanted to stay at this Accommodation again, so this was our third visit. The in-room bath is spacious and comfortable, and the meals—although it seems the chef has changed—are always delicious every time and have become one of the highlights of our trip. This time, for the first time, we signed up for the optional sunset cruise. We were able to view from the sea the places we had cycled during the day, and although there were some clouds at departure, we miraculously got to see the sunset as well—making it a wonderful memory. Cycling in extreme heat is tough, so next time we would like to return in spring or autumn.

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 Room’s interior, Facilities, size, and location were all excellent. I wish I could end my review there, but there was one very disappointing issue. On the morning of the third day (Saturday) of our two-night stay, I found a spider about 10 cm in diameter in the bathroom during a morning bath. The spider itself may have come in when opening or closing the door or windows, and given the natural surroundings—and since I noticed it right before checkout—it wasn’t a major problem. The real issue was what came next. Since new guests might be staying that day, and some people may dislike insects or small children might encounter it (it was large enough to surprise even me), I worried it could ruin their trip. I called the published phone number, but only reached an automated message saying it was outside business hours. I also checked the pre-stay email guidance but couldn’t find any emergency contact information. I understand this Accommodation operates differently from a Ryokan or Hotel, but for situations where guests need to contact someone immediately during their stay (it doesn’t have to be public), there should at least be an emergency contact number provided to guests. In this case, I hope housekeeping removed the spider so the next guests could stay comfortably. However, please recognize that not being able to resolve urgent issues smoothly by phone can potentially ruin a trip, and consider setting up proper emergency contact arrangements. As mentioned at the start, this is an excellent Facility overall—but this one drawback alone makes me hesitate to book again.

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.

This was my first time staying here, and the Facility was well equipped, so I had a very comfortable stay. I was able to forget about work and relax while watching the sunset and sunrise, and I truly felt refreshed. I was also impressed by the beauty of the Seto Inland Sea as seen from the cabin. I’ve been to various glamping sites, but so far this is the best. The only reason I deducted one point is that the shower area in the bathroom is a bit small. Next time, I’d like to try a Multiple Night Stay. Thank you very much.

The seafood-focused dishes were truly delicious. I was able to fully enjoy the professional craftsmanship, from the delicate seasoning to the careful attention paid even to the temperature of the tableware. The Facility is old, but it is thoroughly cleaned, and you can enjoy a charming Showa-era retro atmosphere. The bedding was also fluffy and thick, and I was able to sleep soundly. I would love to celebrate my birthday here again next year.

This was our first time staying here. There were five of us, and it was spacious enough. We didn’t use them, but the kitchen and washing machine made it feel like we could stay for days. There was also a loft. The place was well cleaned, so we had a very comfortable stay. The garden had a nice atmosphere too, although we didn’t use it because of the heat and insects. There are restaurants nearby, and since we brought food and drinks, having a refrigerator was very convenient. We’d love to stay again—thank you very much.

It was a very clean Hotel, conveniently located just over a 10-minute walk from the station, with a variety of restaurants nearby. The bath was a large public bath; the men’s side had an open-air bath, but it seems the women’s side did not, which was a bit disappointing. The happy hour from late afternoon into the evening was also great—unlimited alcoholic drinks and four snack options were included.
