คุเระ · ฮิงาชิฮิโรชิมะ · มิฮาระ × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

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!

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.

They also stored my luggage before check-in. There was one washing machine in the women’s large public bath, so I felt comfortable doing laundry. The bread at the breakfast buffet was delicious.

I chose this Hotel because I wanted to see Head Chef Takabayashi of Kureto in person. The Room was spacious, with the bath and toilet separated, and both the bathtub and washing area were large, making it very comfortable. For dinner, I dined at Kureto hoping to meet the chef. Every dish was delicious, and the chef came to our table to greet us; we had a wonderful conversation and spent a truly meaningful time. If I come to Kure again, I would love to stay here again.

The staff were very courteous, and the Room was clean. The bathroom was also spacious, so I could relax. At check-in, women received a one-day skincare set as a gift, and everyone was given thick hand wipes and discount coupons for the on-site restaurant, which was great. When I asked at the Western-style restaurant where we had dinner if they had tea, they kindly went out of their way to bring some from the Japanese restaurant, and I felt sorry for the trouble. If I have a chance to visit Kure again, I would definitely like to stay here again.

The staff member who welcomed us was outstanding, and the drinks and light snacks in the lobby were excellent, giving us the immediate impression that this was a top-class Hotel. The meals were delicious and high quality, and we were very satisfied with the thorough explanations and attentive service despite how busy it seemed. The location is great, with beautiful views of the Seto Inland Sea and a well-maintained building; it was comfortable, and because it faces west we could enjoy the scenery throughout without worrying about direct sunlight. The private bath was also spacious, clean, and comfortable. The late-night curry service was perfectly timed when we felt a bit hungry, which increased our satisfaction even more. If I had to mention anything, aside from the person who first assisted us and the staff member who served us at dinner, some others—while doing their best—seemed inexperienced; also, the building felt somewhat like a retreat facility rather than having more distinctive character.

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.

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.

Once again, I stayed here to attend Takako Okamura’s concert at Clara Hall. The location is excellent, so I’ve been staying here for the past few years whenever there’s a concert. If there is another concert next year, I would love to stay here again.

This was my second stay. Last time, I really enjoyed the “Sukiyaki with Matsutake Mushrooms and Butter-Grilled Autumn Salmon & Mushrooms” course, so this time I chose the classic Plan with a kaiseki meal featuring Mihara’s specialty octopus shabu-shabu and lava-grilled domestic beef. Despite the weak yen continuing due to factors such as the Middle East situation and rising prices overall, it seems they are doing their best with little to no price increase; however, that may be why the meal felt noticeably less satisfying, and I felt the portion size would not be enough for younger families raising children. For guests who want to focus on dining, it would be helpful to recommend choosing a course labeled [Cuisine-Focused]. Even so, the pricing still offers excellent value for money. This year, it seems the “Sukiyaki with Matsutake Mushrooms and Autumn Salmon” course is not being offered, but I hope they will bring it back even if it costs more. This time, we were also able to enjoy fireflies near the Hotel due to the season. The staff are kind, and it’s a great-value Hotel—so I hope they continue offering Plans that let guests fully enjoy delicious food.

Five of us stayed over the weekend of 7/25–26. We debated for a long time between this place and another Hotel, but chose this one because the Onsen was a big draw. Since it was a weekend after summer vacation started, we were worried it would be crowded—whether we could get into the bath at a good time and whether we’d be able to enjoy the breakfast service—but in the end our timing was perfect. We were able to relax in the bath, and we were very satisfied with the complimentary breakfast. We also enjoyed the welcome drink, and considering how affordable it was, we were extremely happy with all the services. From now on, whenever we travel, if there’s a Hotel like this at our destination, we’ll definitely choose it. At breakfast, one of the female staff members kept everything well stocked and moving smoothly. It seemed there was an issue with the miso soup machine, so she kindly came around to each table asking if anyone wanted miso soup. She was friendly and warm-hearted, which left a great impression. If we ever come back to Hiroshima again someday, we’d love to stay with you again.

This was my first stay at the AZ Hotel. This time I stayed in a Room on the 6th floor, and it was clean, with a beautiful view of the islands of the Seto Inland Sea from the window. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and I especially enjoyed the mentaiko and raw egg. I would like to stay again.

I stayed here to cheer on my daughter at a track and field meet. It was my first time in Kure City, and the location was excellent—easy access to sightseeing spots, restaurants, and cafés—so I had a very comfortable stay. The breakfast was wonderful and delicious; I was especially happy they had okonomiyaki. I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

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.

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 was my second stay. Whenever I come to Mihara, this is the Hotel I choose without hesitation. Women receive amenity sets that include face masks, and from 4:00 PM there are free drinks, rice balls, and even shaved ice. From 6:00 PM, one beer per person is free, and from the second beer onward it’s only 300 yen, which is a great deal. What was disappointing this time was the strong smell of cigarettes around the front desk area—it made me feel sick.

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.

I was very satisfied with the great value of my stay. Everything was wonderful, and in particular, the open-air bath in the Room was fed directly from the hot spring source. I only noticed after making my Reservation, which made me even happier. The water quality was excellent—my skin felt moisturized and my body stayed warm. The meals were delicious and the views were beautiful, making for a truly lovely time and a great trip. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

We chose this Hotel for a two-night family trip. Although it is a bit old, it was very clean and the staff were friendly, so we had a comfortable stay. Breakfast was free, and both days we enjoyed tasty Japanese-style meals.
