From the moment we were picked up, the hospitality had already begun. We were completely satisfied with everything—from the guidance along the way to the warm welcome after arrival. Of course, we also enjoyed delicious meals. In the morning, we woke up to a ship’s whistle. The ever-changing view of the tides was truly soothing. We would love to visit again in another season.

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.

Although it is not new, I was satisfied with this fine Hotel, including the Room size and the view.

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.

I had an important engagement and stopped by your city for the first time in four years on my way back from a business trip, and stayed one night. Because I felt more wear and tear than expected at the flagship Hotel where I stayed on my previous visit, I was looking for another option in the convenient city center when I found this Hotel. It is close to the station, with easy access to limousine buses, local buses, and taxis, so I hardly felt any of the transportation inconvenience that can be common in regional cities. As it is newly opened, the Room was clean, and the view from my Room—overlooking the islands of the Seto Inland Sea and all of Imabari—was wonderful. (It would have been even better if the windows were a bit larger.) Breakfast offered a relatively wide selection and tasted good as well, and I also really appreciated the complimentary welcome drink upon arrival on a hot day. The large public bath was spacious and clean, and being able to gaze at the night view through a large, beautiful window helped me unwind from the day’s fatigue and feel refreshed. It’s great that Imabari now has such a good Hotel. One point to note—not as something good or bad—is that there seem to be many international guests. I work in an international field so it didn’t bother me at all, but some people may feel unsettled seeing many overseas visitors in places like the lobby or large public bath in a regional city like Imabari. That said, during my stay there were no guests with poor manners.

In spring, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom around the Accommodation and at the Kurushima Kaikyo Observatory, making it truly beautiful. From the Japanese-style Room, the large windows were wonderful—you could even enjoy an ocean view while lying on the futon—and the Room amenities and equipment showed thoughtful attention to detail. Needless to say, the food was outstanding! All of the staff were kind and very pleasant, too. Next time—whether for a celebration, an anniversary, or simply to refresh—I want to find any excuse to stay here again.

Whenever I travel to Imabari on business, I stay here. Although the breakfast is described as free, it offers a great variety of items, and with the station right in front, the location is excellent. This time my Room was next to the elevator hall, so I was worried about noise from other guests on the same floor, but perhaps because I was tired, I was able to sleep without being bothered. It’s a Hotel with great value for money, and I’d like to stay again if I have the chance.

Conveniently located in front of the station, and the check-in process was simple and very smooth. The Room was well cleaned and spotless. The bathroom isn’t large, but it offers great value for money. Breakfast is not a buffet, so you can enjoy it calmly without any rush. They also provided clean, eco-friendly disposable wooden chopsticks (carbon-neutral) instead of the cheap, unhygienic petroleum-based plastic chopsticks often found at budget chains, and the female staff member was attentive and helpful. Overall, it was a high-quality Hotel that exceeded its price.

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.

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 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.

A unique interior and a convenient layout. Everything you need for self-catering is provided, which is great. There are supermarkets and convenience stores close to the Facility. As it is located along a main road, traffic noise may be noticeable if you plan to have a BBQ during the day, but you can still enjoy your time while cheering on Shimanami cyclists.

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.

I made a Reservation mainly because it was close to Imabari Station, so I honestly didn’t expect much—but it exceeded my expectations in the best way. The Hotel has a stylish atmosphere that doesn’t feel like a typical regional property, and everything was very clean. The guest rooms and Facility areas aren’t particularly spacious, but there is a large public bath, and I had a comfortable stay. I chose the breakfast-included Plan, and both the selection and taste were satisfying—I’m glad I included breakfast. If I had one request, it would be that a Hotel with a large public bath provide two face towels. It may have been possible to borrow an extra one, but that was the only small point I noticed. Overall, I was very satisfied, and it’s a Hotel I would gladly use again when visiting Imabari.

Everything—the Room, the bath, and the meals—was excellent, but above all, the staff were truly outstanding. Even though we caused you trouble with changes to the Shuttle Service pickup location due to our circumstances and issues such as a locker malfunction in the bath area, you responded with great kindness. My daughter and I kept saying how glad we were that we stayed here. Thank you very much. We expect to visit the island several more times in the future, so we will continue to stay at your Accommodation.

It was wonderful. This is the Ryokan we found when searching for spiny lobster. The abalone “zankoku-yaki” I tried for the first time was tender and absolutely delicious. Of course, the spiny lobster sashimi and all the other dishes were also excellent, and we left completely full. It was amazing that we could stay together with our pet dog, who was supposed to be staying home. We were very satisfied with both the bath and the Room. We were also moved by the head chef’s flute performance, as well as the young hostess’s sign language and singing. We would definitely like to stay 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 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.
