Ξενοδοχεία με Ōkunoshima, Takehara

Conveniently located about halfway between Onomichi and Imabari along the Shimanami Kaido, WAKKA is much more than a halfway stop. Staying here is an experience you won’t forget for a while. Between us we had a cottage and a dome ‘tent’ both with views of the water & the Tatara bridge (across which we had cycled). We opted for the BBQ dinner on our deck & it was wonderful: sashimi appetiser, local seafood, vegetables & meat (amazing steak, boar sausages, chicken) as well as rice, dessert and mint tea! The hospitality here is so warm that we felt immediately welcomed. All the staff were lovely. Reika (from reception) suggested a trip to the local onsen (public bath) and provided a voucher as well as minibus shuttle (10 min way). This was a great experience and good way to relax after a day’s cycling. We enjoyed breakfast sitting on the cafe deck (great coffee) before we set off for another day of cycling. As well as cottages & dome tents, there are dormitory beds for a more economical stay. WAKKA also offers support to cyclists who aren’t staying at the hotel.

How many years ago, after seeing it in a travel magazine (Yukoyuko, Jalan, etc.), I was attracted to the open-air bath with a magnificent view. , The fact that you can only go by ferry from Takehara Port will make your trip more exciting. Arrived in just 20 minutes by shuttle bus. There was an overjoyed change that the restaurant meal of the reservation plan will be prepared as a private room meal in a separate room at check-in! It seems that the number of customers is small due to the corona, so it is probably because I can use the vacant room. The room is simple, the amenities are minimal but clean and spacious, and above all, the view from the window that opens the bran and jumps into your eyes. The open-air bath I was looking for was that it had a wonderful view and I could spend time forgetting my daily life, and no one was there while I was taking a bath. What surprised me was the food! Although it is a standard plan, the quality and quantity are excellent, and the steamed abalone is exquisite and the deliciousness of the sashimi is exceptional! As expected, it is the Seto Inland Sea. The staff is working hard for young people, but I liked the appearance of the man in the room who was polite and hard to serve customers from abroad. Breakfast used to be a buffet style, but now it is compatible with corona infection. Probably, it was very good for us because it is a Japanese set meal and I am not good at buffet. It's nice to have coffee after a meal. I was worried that the price was higher than when I first saw this hotel, but when I came, I was convinced that it was a good hotel. However, there is only one ... On the way back from the Shinkansen, when I noticed that I had forgotten the clothes I was wearing when I arrived at the inn, I called and said that I had nothing left behind ...? ?? I changed into a different top in the morning I forgot the clothes I wore the day before and left them on the hanger, so I have no place to forget other than the hotel ... Of course I forget this is worse, so be careful! I thought, but I was a little shocked to be told that I wouldn't even leave my forgotten hair clip or tea bottle at another inn (tears). There are four.

The hotel is very close to Mihara Station, one minute away The transportation is convenient. There is a small supermarket downstairs and many restaurants nearby. The hotel is very new, the rooms are spacious and fully equipped And there’s free breakfast Breakfast is a buffet style with many varieties and very delicious Recommended!

The last two nights of the journey entered this hotel. The surrounding area of the hotel is very quiet, but there is an authentic large supermarket, 100 shops and large shopping centers on the street, which is very convenient. There is one male soup and one female soup. It can accommodate one person to take a bath. It is very comfortable, but there are many guests to wait. Japanese breakfast is very rich, especially noodle soup, it is worth recommending.

Located about 5 minutes walk from Mihara Station. The station is opposite to the hotel, so there is no store around the hotel, including convenience stores. I don't know what the hotel was in the predecessor of ribmax, but it was a hotel that felt a lot old. The room is small and there are only several tens of cm between the bed and the table. It was stressful that the unit bus was renovated, or the lid of the washlet was not completely opened, and it was closed naturally if it was not suppressed by hand.

The hotel is a three-minute walk from Sanyuan Station, next to a large shopping mall and various restaurants. The room is small but microwave and refrigerator are available, typical business hotel. The hotel provides free light meals and beer during dinner time. Breakfast must be booked in advance, temporary stay for one night, satisfied.

Arrived on the final flight of Hiroshima Airport and headed for a car rental. There are also seven eleven on the way. The road is a bit difficult to understand, but it arrives from the airport in １０ minutes. The parking lot is also convenient because it is in front of the hotel. I chose a king size bed, so the bed is large and the room is large and comfortable. There is also a feeling of cleanliness and comfort. It seems that the humidifier was prepared in the order of the early ones, but it was late, so there was only a small one. The public bath was an open-air bath and the bathtub was large and slow, so it was a rental. There was a rest place and there were comics and magazines. It seems to be fun even if you arrive early.

We stayed two nights here, before and after cycling the Shimanami Kaido. The location could not be better. Arriving by train, the hotel is just across a pedestrian walkway, facing the inland sea. Most of the cycle rental places are along the waterfront or nearby. The short ferry trip to start the cycling is almost in front of the hotel. The Superior Queen room with view was comfortable with electric kettle, green tea & coffee drip bags. The view (from levels 5 & 6) was great. The rooms have a retro charm. Breakfast was included & offered western & Japanese options. Nothing fancy but perfectly adequate. The reception staff speak some English & they were happy to store our luggage while we cycled. There is a coin laundry & bike storage off the main reception area. Overall, very good value.

Stayed 1N. This is a very small hotel. It is located facing the water and beautiful sakura trees. The lobby is located at the back street and the restaurant is at the front of the building. Check-in was quick and the front desk personnel were hospitable. I was assigned a room facing the water and the sakura trees which were in full bloom. The room is typically small by Japanese standards. Only 1 small hard pillow, firm bed. Strong Wifi signal. Breakfast was a semi-buffet - the mains came in a tray and the breads, cereal and juices were self-service. The owner is an elderly gentleman who took the trouble to meet and greet guests at breakfast. No on-site onsen. You'll need to take a taxi to the nearest bathhouse.
