Sekitar Muzium Lanun Murakami × Penilaian tinggi Hotel·penginapan gaya Jepun

We had a wonderful time enjoying activities such as exploring caves by pleasure boat and at the private beach, and collecting sea glass. What impressed us most was how comfortable the bedding was. We slept very well and would love to use similar bedding at home. If you don’t mind, we would be grateful if you could tell us the manufacturer and product name of the bedding you use. Thank you for such a lovely stay—we were completely satisfied and would definitely like to stay again.

The Room was clean, the breakfast was delicious, and the large public bath was great. However, since there was only one elevator, it got very crowded during peak check-in and check-out times, and we sometimes had to wait quite a while, which was a bit inconvenient. Also, the hallway was hot—I wish there had been air conditioning in the corridors as well. Still, considering the value for money, it’s an excellent Hotel! I’d love to stay here again when I visit Imabari.

After having lunch at a traditional Japanese restaurant on Hakatajima Island along the Shimanami Kaido, I visited two of the extra temples associated with Temple No. 88 before checking in. The display of miniature ship replicas is wonderful—perfect for a shipbuilding town. The bathroom fixtures are also set up to international standards, and it was fun that the faucet handles are reversed. I was also happy to find authentic Chinese cuisine on B1F at reasonable prices for dinner. This is probably my fifth stay here.

It’s a new, bright, and spotless hotel. Because it’s close to the Shimanami Kaido, there were many overseas (Western) cyclists, and when I was enjoying the free beer in the lounge, it almost felt like being abroad. From the large public bath and from my room, I had a beautiful view of Imabari Castle and the sunrise. It wasn’t a hot spring, which was a bit disappointing, but when I went in it felt like I had it all to myself. I was amazed by breakfast—far more variety and quality than I expected! I wanted to try more, but I was too full and had to give up. When I contacted a local car rental company on site, they provided shuttle service to the hotel, so it was affordable and very convenient.

Not only is it close to JR Imabari Station, it is also the final stop of the Shimanami Kaido bus from Fukuyama, making it very convenient for getting around. There is also a large, popular spa nearby for cyclists, and discount coupons are available. I would love to stay here again as a base for exploring the Shimanami Kaido.

The meals were exceptionally delicious and luxurious. Choosing this option was absolutely the right decision! The room was clean, and a Dyson humidifier was provided, so I stayed very comfortably. The amenities were well stocked, and I was happy they had Sekkisei. There were many kinds of bath salts, and it was fun choosing one. All the towels—even the hand towels served with meals—were Imabari towels. At the vending machines on the 4th floor, you could buy beer, chu-hai, and highballs in addition to soft drinks. When I visit again, I’d love to stay here again—it’s an Accommodation I’d also recommend to others.

Anyway, the meals were excellent. There was plenty of fresh fish, and the horaku-yaki I debated adding was also very delicious. The appetizers were varied and tasty, and the sea bream rice had a gentle seasoning and was great. Since I couldn’t finish it all, they made it into rice balls for me, which I enjoyed later as a late-night snack. Amazing value for money.

They have both standard Rooms and a capsule floor with semi-private pods, so I stayed on the capsule floor for something different. Since it was a weekday, there was no one in the row next to me—nice and quiet.\n\nOn the same floor as the front desk, the indoor bath, drink corner, and massage chairs were all close by, which actually felt very convenient.\n\nThey even served jakoten as a late-night snack and offered a welcome drink—overall, the service was quite good.\n\nAfter enjoying both the indoor bath and the massage chairs, I went to sleep. They also lend out pillows. The capsule itself was very comfortable.\n\nBreakfast was buffet-style. With curry and sausages available, that alone is perfect for me. They also had granola.\n\nThere’s only a Hotel and a convenience store nearby, but they lend bicycles for free, so I could easily ride to a supermarket that’s a bit farther away.

My spouse and I stayed in a Deluxe Double. The bed was spacious enough for an average Japanese build, and we slept very well. There are vending machines inside the Hotel where you can buy alcohol and simple snacks. As for parking, the space next to the Hotel is narrow and fills up quickly, but there is a slightly larger area about one block away. I was worried after checking Street View whether there really was free parking, so it would be nice if the website provided clearer guidance. However, when we parked on the street that day and asked at the front desk, they kindly explained it to us, so it wasn’t a problem. It’s a very typical Business Hotel, and it was comfortable. If I had to mention one downside, it would be that the TV is fixed to the wall and its HDMI port is only accessible from behind, so I couldn’t plug in my laptop or smartphone to display anything (even though there’s an input button on the remote...).

My cycling trip at an advanced age—traveling with my son. The gently seasoned meals were kind to my tired body, suited me very well, and I thought they were excellent. The seawater bath was also wonderful. A moment before bedtime. The head chef’s beautifully toned flute performance. Bravo. If I ever ride again... will that happen? If so, I would love to stay here again.

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 staff were kind and attentive, making this a very welcoming hotel. I was able to relax and unwind in the large public bath. Breakfast was excellent—I got to enjoy all of Imabari’s local specialties. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

The staff gave the impression of being quite young, and everyone was working hard. When I spoke to them, they were friendly and enjoyable to chat with. Dinner was creative and delicious, and breakfast was also great with a fun variety of options. On the way there, I took a ferry ride that takes just 2 minutes—it was interesting. It’s worth staying at least once.

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 used the accommodation for sightseeing by car on three islands in Ehime. It was difficult to find an accommodation with meals included, especially the day before our stay, but we were lucky to secure a reservation. The price was very reasonable, and although we didn’t expect luxurious meals initially, the food provided exceeded our expectations and was incredibly satisfying. The dishes included sashimi, simmered sea bream head, fried sea bream, side dishes, and more. We were amazed that the sea bream rice was all-you-can-eat! Not only for dinner but also for breakfast, sea bream rice was served—such variety at such an affordable price is unbelievable. If we have another chance, we would love to stay again. Thank you very much!

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 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.

There’s no hassle with check-in or check-out, and the comfortable sense of personal space—like staying abroad—felt just right. The thoughtfully placed amenities were a nice touch, and it was relaxing not having to worry about anything. Other guests seemed the same way, and that respectful distance—not too close, not too far—made it a comforting place to stay.

It’s best to think of it like staying in a private vacation home. The main guest Room feels like a king’s chamber. I gave that Room to the family with kids and my spouse and I stayed in the spare Room, but even that had more than enough Facility. The dining area allows shoes, but it’s spacious, so we hosted a dinner gathering with friends—it was very convenient. I brought extra kitchen items just in case anything was missing, but everything was there, including a rice cooker and toaster. Next time I’ll come empty-handed. There seems to be an area where you can do BBQ, but we couldn’t find a grill—maybe there isn’t one. If you want to BBQ, you’ll probably need to bring your own equipment. It’s right off the interchange, so the location is extremely convenient.\nWe’ll be back.
