기시나역 × 식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I have stayed at many Hotels and Ryokan with ocean views, but this was one of the most memorable. The views from the Room and the open-air bath were outstanding—thanks to the Hotel’s hilltop location with nothing obstructing the scenery, as well as the serene beauty of the Seto Inland Sea itself. There are very few man-made structures nearby, and the landscape created by the scattered islands is truly stunning. In the distance, we could see bridges of the Shimanami Kaido and parts of Imabari’s townscape, while boats passing below from time to time added a lovely touch to the view. I felt this Hotel is well worth staying at even just to relax and take in this scenery. Because it was listed as “Casual” on IKYU, I initially imagined a standard Hotel that simply highlights its views. In reality, however, we experienced warm, unpretentious hospitality from all staff members. Dinner was not a typical set menu; it showed thoughtful creativity throughout and was delicious. Breakfast was buffet-style, and in particular, I still remember how wonderful the locally harvested blueberries were. This time we rented a car at Hiroshima Station: on our first night we stayed at a Ryokan on Etajima; on day two we toured Takehara before taking a ferry over and enjoying beautiful Setouchi island views from Mount Kamimine prior to check-in. The next day we visited Okunoshima to spend time with its rabbits, then headed home via Mihara to Hiroshima Airport. The Hotel was also extremely convenient as a base for sightseeing routes starting from Hiroshima City toward Kure, Takehara, and Mihara—and we were fully satisfied with every aspect: scenery, dining, and hospitality.

We booked the “Chef’s Choice Kura Twin” Plan and stayed in Room 101 of the MOSO building. The Room was a very comfortable size for two people. The beams, the safe room, and the steep stairs were all experiences you don’t usually get to have, so they felt truly special. The dinner we had been looking forward to was delicious. In particular, the rich flavor of Togeshita beef and the vivid colors of the corn bavarois appetizer left a strong impression. We chose an anniversary Plan, and we were delighted to see our requested message along with a ribbon. At breakfast as well, staff offered refills at just the right time, and they also knew we were staying on an anniversary Plan and kindly took photos for us—making it a very pleasant time. It was a stay that made us feel truly welcomed—both by the Accommodation and by the town! We also loved the Takehara Campbell juice listed on the lounge and restaurant drink menus. It’s grape juice, but I’d never tasted one with such clarity before. We had it again at a roadside station after checkout—and even bought more to take home. A couple of small things we noticed: Dust had collected in the basket in the washroom. Each time we entered to use the sink, the toilet lid sensor reacted and opened automatically; we would prefer it without automatic opening/closing.

I always stay here the night before my departure from Hiroshima Airport. This time as well, I was able to relax in the welcome lounge, and I really enjoyed the delicious breakfast. I request the Shuttle Service between the airport and the Hotel every time, and this time the flowers in the lobby were even more beautiful than usual—I couldn’t help but stop and admire them. I’ll definitely stay again!

We visited with our children. It was an extremely hot day during summer vacation. Since we arrived early, we had lunch at the restaurant and enjoyed soft-serve ice cream at Usanchu Cafe. The restaurant’s limited “Takehara Fish Rice” (only 10 servings per day) was also delicious. The staff member who explained how to eat it was very pleasant, which left a great impression. To be honest, we didn’t have high expectations for the breakfast and dinner buffets because it’s island food, but everything was very tasty. The sea firefly observation event from 8:00 PM and the morning walk were meaningful experiences that helped us learn about Okunoshima’s history. The former principal’s talk also seemed fun for the kids. Touring the island on the C Walk was another enjoyable experience for our children. I would highly recommend this Hotel to families with kids and to rabbit lovers.

This was my second stay. I use this Hotel when I visit Hiroshima city. My home is close enough for a day trip, so I could go back, but I liked staying overnight, enjoying the area around the Hotel the next day, and then heading home early. The welcome lounge is casual and convenient. Dinner was affordable and delicious. Breakfast was very filling, which felt a bit heavy for me at my age. The Room is spacious, though the bathroom is a little small—but still perfectly fine. It’s an easy place to stay, so I’ll use it again.

Welcome drinks, especially the cold sake, were a delightful touch appreciated by the host. Although the walk to the bath was a bit long, guests could choose their yukata, and the men's and women's baths alternated daily for added variety. The Room was a spacious Japanese-Western style, and dinner was served in just the right portions. After check-out, guests could relax in the lobby or garden at their leisure.

I have stayed here more than five times.\nAlthough the building shows some minor wear, it is kept very clean.\nNear the lobby, you can choose from a selection of shampoo and conditioner, and an Onsen Facility is located next door. The Onsen includes bubble baths, a sauna, and an open-air bath, so you can really enjoy it.\nThere is also a small welcome drink near the elevators, so you can sit on the chairs across from the lobby and relax while looking outside.\nThe Room is fairly spacious, and even if you book No Meals Included, you can still dine at the restaurant on the second floor for around 1,000–2,000 yen.\nThere is also a microwave in the Hotel, so you can bring in food from outside. On the second floor there was an area with vending machines plus tables and chairs where you can heat food in the microwave and eat right away.\nIt’s not right in the city center, but it’s convenient—you can reach both Hiroshima City and Onomichi in under an hour.

This is the only Hotel I’ve stayed at in Takehara, but it always feels like a clean Hotel in a relatively new building. This time I stayed in a single Room, but I recommend the double Room, which is 1,000 yen more. Not only is the bed better, but the bathroom and toilet are separate and the bathtub is spacious—worth paying a little extra for the difference.

The boat platter with spiny lobster looked like a lot, and I wondered if I could finish it, but it was so delicious that I ate it all in no time. Their signature nanbanzuke was also excellent. I’d love to stay again.

The pre-arranged allergy accommodations for meals during the Reservation were prompt and thoughtful, which was greatly appreciated. Both dinner and breakfast were exceptionally delicious. The staff's service was kind, attentive, and pleasant, allowing for a comfortable stay. I would definitely like to use this service again.

The view of the calm Seto Inland Sea was breathtaking. Having a golf course right in front added excitement as I imagined playing the next day. Above all, I deeply appreciate the staff's kindness in bringing my husband's forgotten valuables to the station. We are truly grateful for your help and apologize for any inconvenience caused. We will definitely visit again!

We stayed at the accommodation for a three-generation trip, as it was strongly requested by our grandchild. We didn't see any other Japanese guests during our stay. If we were more fluent in English, it would have been an even more enjoyable experience. We had breakfast at the attached café in the morning. Both the accommodation and café were stylishly designed and lovely places to be. The shower room was clean, though there was no bathtub. However, as Japanese people, especially seniors, we do miss soaking in a bath.

You cannot choose the Room, but I enjoyed a luxurious solo stay in Room 205—an ocean-view Room with a terrace and an open-air bath. During the day, I loved the sound of gentle waves, and at night the moonlight reflecting on the sea made the location outstanding. The open-air bath at night was a bit tough because insects gather around the light. I may be mistaken, but an additional 200 yen tax was charged separately from the accommodation fee. The prepaid accommodation fee of 11,690 yen was great value for money, and it’s an Accommodation I’d like to visit again.

I stayed at the beginning of December. We borrowed a BBQ set to make our own dinner and breakfast, and thanks to the mild winter, we enjoyed it without worrying about the cold! The property was very accommodating, providing everything we thought we might need while cooking. The attention to detail was wonderful. We didn't face any difficulties, it was truly impressive. We cycled around the island, and after sunset, the children enjoyed karaoke. The room had large windows, and we could have a bonfire outdoors right in front, so the adults enjoyed drinks by the fire while keeping an eye on the karaoke. (There was even a portable speaker. It was amazing.) Looking up, there was a sky full of stars. The sunrise was magnificent, and the glass-walled bath where you could soak up the sun was also fantastic. On our way back, we could go down to the sea right in front of the Stays, and the children played by dipping their feet in the water. If I were to give a score, 100 points wouldn't be enough. It was truly the best property. Thank you very much. I definitely want to visit again!!!

The bath was large and kept clean. The Room is a bit old, but it's spacious and sufficient considering the price.

The furniture, appliances, small items, amenities, and every detail were so stylishly coordinated—it was amazing!!! The location made me a bit nervous on the way there... (lol) Also, the sauna didn’t get quite hot enough... That was the only downside (tears). But the exceptional style, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches more than made up for it! I’ll definitely stay here again!!!
