The room is too much optimized for numerous people. Then it's less comfortable

The welcome in the house. The place is quiet.

Amazing place to stop on the Shimanami kaido! Such a lovely island to explore by bike. The host was very friendly and helpful! The room was beautiful, comfy and quiet. The view from the room was gorgeous! Great stay!

Great location with an amazing view. Our host was also incredible, very welcoming, warm and helpful. The perfect spot for a quiet stay by the sea with easy access to the Shimanami Kaido cycling route

The room was very cramped for four people.

The host is very kind and friendly.

It’s a fair way to shop and restaurants if you don’t have a car but the host can call taxi services. You can cook groceries and there is a fridge and tea and coffee services.

The host was exceptionally friendly and helpful. She helped us navigate rental of bikes, gave us good tips about our bike ride, and helped explain the local experience. The place was clean, spacious and had great location right on the beach. Waking up to the water view was amazing.

The beds were a little hard and there were some mosquitos but it wasn’t too bad :)

The host was so so kind and welcoming! It was clean! Had the most beautiful view of the ocean, and a very cute vibe!

Difficult to get there if you don't have a car. The bus only runs a few times per day.

Fantastic, friendly, and helpful host. Good supply of necessities including kitchen supplies, shower stuff, common areas. Power socket and light for each bed. Laundry facilities (for a small fee). The beds have traditional-style pillow and thin mattress. Beautiful view.

The beauty and the quiet of the area was wonderful after hectic times in Kyōto and Tōkyō. The host was very lively, friendly, and helpful. The tatami room was a nice size and the futons were comfortable. There was air conditioning. Also, we had access to cooking equipment, but only made mocha and microwaved a little food.

The location is simply stunning, the guesthouse sits peacefully on the seafront of tranquil Mukaishima Island, surrounded by lush vegetation and easily accessible by car. It's the perfect destination if you're cycling along the Shimanami Kaido. Youko is an incredible host, warm, welcoming, and exceptionally helpful. She provided excellent recommendations for bike rentals, local restaurants, and activities, and every day left thoughtful notes at reception highlighting events happening in the area. When we accidentally left our backpack (with passports inside!) at the guesthouse, she promptly mailed it to our next destination without hesitation. Our 8-year-old daughter, Alice, loved the play area in the communal dining space, bouncing on the trampoline in the garden, and meeting the resident animals: friendly sheep, two charming cats, and Maroon, the adorable dog. The property itself is spotless. We stayed in one of the Japanese-style rooms, which felt spacious by Japanese standards, and offered spectacular views over the bay. The rooftop terrace was another highlight for us. We'd wholeheartedly recommend staying here, it’s truly a special place.

There is no true kitchen for guests. It is possible to cook outside but there was only cold water for washing dishes. Fortunately the host was kind and let us use her rice cooker.

The location is peaceful and beautiful. The host is kind and welcoming.

Not very many places to eat that we could find nearby, but the 7/11 was not too far. The dessert restaurant Mer seems to have closed.

Gamigami is located with a fantastic view across the inland sea with islands near and in the distance. It is a pity that cables are in this view as seen from the rooms but you can go up on the flat roof for an unobstructed view. It is not very far on a nearly flat road to the ferry to Onomichi so it makes a good last night if you are cycling from Imabari taking several days as we did. We had a comfort Japanese style room.

The location is quite far from any amenities, but there is a bus stop nearby and borrowing the bikes helped a lot.

The views were lovely and the hotel was very clean and comfortable. The owner went out of her way to help us and even let us borrow her bike to get to the shops and back.

While we thought there is a kitchen available and bought groceries for cooking, there was only a microwave so we went through night very hungry. We could not use the bath tube during our stay.

Amazing host treated us really well and online check-in allowed us to come very late in the night. The shower room had everything we needed and more. We could heat up food in common area and enjoy beautiful sunrise.

Futon is too thin for my old body, I should have requested an extra one...my fault

Lovely quiet beachfront location with excellent hosts

Great guest house, everything is thought through, very clean and you will find everything you need for your stay (I was very pleased to find cleansing oil, face wash and body lotion in addition to more common shampoo and body gel). The owner is super nice!!

The guesthouse is right on the beach and a perfect stop while doing the Shimanamikaido bike trail The owner is very friendly and welcoming The tatami room with futons was very comfortable for our family of 4.

The owner is the most helpful guest house owner I've ever encountered. She went out of her way to make our stay the best it could be. The location is beautiful, I would 100% stay here again.

The location was a bit hard to navigate on arrival - we ended up getting 2 taxis from Onomichi. What we should have done was to catch the ferry from the quay opposite Onomichi station and then got taxtis or a bus from Mukaishima.

Youka was a brilliant host. She was interested in everything we needed, organised rental bikes for us and even offered us a lift to the ferry on departure. Unlike some of the places we stayed she was generally around and available to help with stuff. The room was great for a family, although my wife and I moved into a Japanese style tatami room the second night which is definitely recommended. The location overlooks the sea and is unique. Great for cycling the Shimanami Kaido. We went in April but would love to return in the summer to use some of the SUP's and jump in the sea!

It's right on the ocean. Friendly owner. Access to a fridge and freezer. It has all the amenities you'd need. Free parking right in front of the house.

Nice room! Gorgeous seaview! Very considerate hostess👍, clean and lovely everywhere. 24hrs living room with free warm water and massage chair. Pet sheep "Ketama" is a surprise😄.

No problem!

The hostel is right in front of a quiet beach, in a very calm neighborhood. You can hear the waves at night, the birds in the morning, pet the local cat or even sheep. The common space is big and comfortable. The host is really nice, and we were very grateful when she gave us a ride. (the bike location center or supermarkets are a 45 min walk, add 5 min for the ferry to go to Onomichi centre). The traditional japanese room is quite big, with view on the sea. If you have a car this is a perfect place to stay. 100% would come again!
