Very comfortable family room. Good dinner in the café. It made us regret we could not taste the breakfast :-) (the café was closed).

Very nice place, has kitchen, and workspace with books and manga.

I think the lounge areas could have been a little more comfortable/cozy or have more open seating, it was mostly stools outside of the room and in the shared room there were only two sofa chairs, so it was hard to really sit anywhere other than your bed. Also, the location was a little farther out from the bike route (around half an hour after getting off the bridge) so it took a little time to get there.

I stayed here for one night while i was biking the shiminami kaido. It was a cute little hostel and had everything I needed, and also the free breakfast from the cafe was very good too! The bed and bathroom/showers were clean too. It's also right next to the shrine so you can explore that as well as the art museum.

What a cute guesthouse. Loved our experience here for a night. The small town was lovely too.

We stayed in the private family room. There was one large bed and two futons. The futons are extremely thin and the sleeping area is a hardwood floor. For our adult kids, it was like sleeping on directly on the floor so be warned.

Very clean, nice hosts, great shared kitchen. Lawsons is nearby. The cafe has yummy food.

Stayed in April 2025

The kitchen is quite small, only suitable for making something simple or reheating ready cooked food from the convenience store nearby.

Clean and spacious hostel with everything you need - towels, toothpaste, ear plugs, hairdryer - at no extra cost. They also have a washing machine and tumble dryer for a very small notional fee, exactly what we needed arriving at the hostel soaking wet from the cycle.

No options for vegans in the restaurant.

Nice, boutique place, with clean toilets and rooms. Not a kind of hostel with wide room but you have to remember that it is located in old Japanese house.

The location is slightly off the beaten path and will require some navigation and uphill cycling.

Amazing place, a true hidden gem. We ended up needing a place to sleep while doing the Shinanamikaido cycling route and looked for a nice cheap option. After cycling through the sleepy rural Japanese countryside we made it to the hostel, finding it quite easily. The staff checking us in was very helpful and had great English, the whole process taking about 5 minutes. The common areas were clean and filled with appliances, board games and a nice manga collection. The room was quiet and the bunks spacious, slept better than I have in some hotels. Breakfast was great too and they offer free coffee in the shared space. There’s a beautiful shrine and Lawson convenience store nearby so you will be able to enjoy the location and stock up for the rest of your journey.

Loved everything about this place from the people to the acommodations and fantastic location.

Nothing, my stay was perfect.

Had a fantastic space at a very good price. Even the location was much better than my original choice (Kamiuracho Inokuchi), with a lot of dining options and Oyamazumi Shrine nearby.

This is really not a nice road to get by bicycle ;) Town is nice!

Very clean. Very nice customer service. Nice kitchen room

Some sound leakage as rooms are close together in the compact living spaces, however guests were typically quiet after 9pm.

A quaint little pitstop along the Shimanami Kaido, with great amenities for cyclists along the route (including laundry and kitchen). The restaurant-café also looked wonderful, although I didn't get a chance to try it. The nearby sights (shrines, brewery, salt factory and onsen) make it a perfect touristy break and night's stay. I would come here again, absolutely!

Make sure to check when the cafe itself is open because we didn't realise it would be closed on the day we stayed here.

We stayed here for one night after a full day of cycling and it was a lovely place to recharge for an evening. The bed was super comfy and the facilities were all very clean. We used the travelling without baggage system and when we arrived our bags were already up in our room and they even told us just to leave them there after we checked out and they would deal with taking them back downstairs. Seeing as we were exhausted from cycling it was such a nice detail for them to do the heavy lifting for us!

Stayed in October 2024

It would be nicer if there was a small desk or a shelf to put our things in the room. We had to place our bags and everything on the floor directly. however, the room and the floor were all very clean.

The facility was clean. All the staff we met were nice. We enjoyed our dinner at the bar and also their breakfast was great for the beginning of the cycling day.

The location of the stay is in Omishima Island. You will have to ride about 5km in the island explorer trail from the shimanami trail to get here (a few minor hills to climb).

Did the shimanami kaido cycling trail from Onomichi and decided to spend a night half way in between the journey. Nice, clean and the most helpful staff you can ask for. Also provided free breakfast the following morning which gave me plenty of energy to complete the route.

Nothing.

The hostel was stylish, clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming. There were good facilities for storing bikes safely overnight. The hostel was a bit of a detour from the main Shimanami Kaido route, although it was very conveniently located next to the Oyamazumi Shrine and treasure hall.

Nothing to not like. It was a wee bike from Sedoka but we thought this spot looked nicer .

Lovely vibe. Very beautifully done up, great kitchen and sparkling clean showers. Room wasn't super large maybe compared to similar priced places in a city, but it was totally fine and a great place. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was available in attached cafe and they were really good. There didn't seem a lot of places to eat in town, so we enjoyed this spot a few times. Interesting place to bike around on a spare day we had. Highly recommend

Walls were veeery thin and we were unlucky enough to have a super loud snoring neighbor!

Very comfy and cosy hostel, everything is well thought for cyclists and the location is perfect for a pit stop along the shimanami kaido

I can't think of anything.

A wonderful find with a comfortable and cozy bedroom. I was the only guest the night I was staying, but the common areas seemed really fun. The surrounding town itself is surprisingly lively, and I ran into the guesthouse's owner at the excellent izakaya Kitsune no Botan. :)

We ate dinner and breakfast in the cafe. Food was excellent and the owners are delightful, they have renovated an old tea house and reused some things to give it a funky look.
