Great location in a cute little town on the Shimanami Kaido. Very nice staff. Lovely and comfortable Japanese-style rooms.

Extremely clean and the onsen was such a great experience. The staff remembered my birthday (the day after check in) and wished me a happy Birthday!

Loved the Onsen, especially after riding our bikes in the rain all day Onsen and nice staff, free drinks in the room

restful

Beautiful property and the perfect place to stop on the shimanami kaido.

Hotel itself was fantastic! Very spacious rooms by Japan standards and friendly staff. The town itself is so sleepy. Hard to find places to eat dinner.

Very comfortable and beautiful decor. Public onsen was exceptional. Great location and staff were so kind and helpful.

Nice modern Japanese style

The room was spacious, clean and well lit. I loved the details- slippers tucked into the wall, the bathroom was spacious and modern, the desk alcove was perfect to spread out and sort our maps/papers, and the open closet offered more room to spread our luggage out. For two adults trying to air out our clothing from our bike ride, a couple of extra hangers would have been appreciated (they had 5). The light controls by the bed was convenient and the floor lighting was perfect if you happen to wake up in the middle of the night. Bonus was the free beverages in the fridge (water, OJ, and one bottle of Lemon Ale) per person. The view was towards the parking lot but the sliding doors covered it and made it feel more traditional so we didn't mind. The best part is the free onsen on site for guests to use as frequently as you want. Additionally, there was an event room that had massage equipment for the upper torso that we were able to use at no cost. It was a perfect spot after riding part of the Shimanami route. The staff were extremely helpful and kind even though we were limited in conversing. We kept our bikes in the parking lot which was safe. I would definitely recommend staying here! Nothing

Location was fantastic and a welcoming stay during our bike trip. The staff were lovely and helpful. The room was fantastic and even allowed us keep our bikes in it. Loved the onsen. I would have enjoyed having a small breakfast offering with coffee in the lounge. Our room was quite warm and would have appreciated a better way to cool it down.

Everything was above my expectations and the place felt so comfortable and relaxing

Location, staff very helpful and friendly, room extra spacious and bed enormous. Rather expensive accommodation

Good things: the single towel provided was soft, the mugs are incredibly well crafted & I actually want to buy some at a home goods store, the staff is very very kind and professional, nice Toto toilet, the canvas bag to take your bath supplies to the bath is well crafted. I wanted to love staying here, but for over $350 USD’s for one night, and one person, I just could not justify the negatives. Off the rip, you can’t check in until 4pm. So after hours of cycling - you have to walk around for a few hours before you can shower & relax. The “onsen” is a hot bath, and it’s very very small for a public bath and not really that great. Doesn’t even have free lotion or q-tips (which is nuts for a bath people pay to use). The coffee & tea provided is nice, but there is zero sugar, cream, or spoons. I went to check out the “office” area and it’s a wide open room, no snacks, no drinks -despite what was advertised- and the massagers didn’t even have remotes rendering them useless. The shower had mold on the bottom seal. The “unlimited minibar” had only two beers, two OJ’s, and two waters, not even one notorious Lemon Chu-hi. The NOISE! For such a quiet town, I could hear every single noise from the 2nd floor & entrance. Stomping every few seconds, over and over, talking as well through the walls. Everyone who went to use the bath, I heard walk in & out… It was so incredibly loud and distracting!! No TV, very large steps (which probably contribute to the stomping above me), no covered or secure parking for a bike, the floors are plywood, no option for AC minus a door that slide open 3 inches, no food… So for a place that is all about serenity & peacefulness, it was noisy & distracting. Honestly, my previous stay in Onimochi was 1/8th the cost with FAR better amenities to include a robe, face lotion, breakfast, snacks, and quality coffee supplies. It was also next to the train station & I couldn’t hear the train once.

Location and amenities Old building rebuilt lacking noise proofing. Heard everyone walking down the stairs and directly above you.

Beautiful rooms and lovely onset facilities, very zen

The property is beautiful and well maintained. Our room was very large with comfortable futon mattresses. We had a separate area with a table and tatami mats and cushions which we used for eating snacks and relaxing. The community bath was exquisite - clean, several separate baths, and a large gorgeous mosaic made the area very calming and luxurious. The staff were very kind and accommodating. N/A

Beautiful hotel in a lovely location

Beautiful place to stay with its own onsen. And close proximity to small shops and good restaurants. Nothing

Quiet, clean, beautiful sento, great location

There was no breakfast offer although a hotel a minute walk away has a cafe that opened at 7:30 am.
