This place was the perfect stopover for my partner and I as we biked the Shimanami route. It was about halfway between Imabari and Onimichi so was perfect. It’s a little tucked away from the main road so not obvious to find at first, although google maps helped us locate it easily. Once there, we were blown away by how clean and comfortable the facilities were. We stayed in the bunk bed room as it was the only one available, but were perfectly comfortable, especially with all of the open shared space available just outside of our room. All amenities are provided. The place is spotless, even with cyclists coming through. The staff were very kind and helpful and booked us a reservation for dinner which ended up being a delicious traditional Japanese meal that was only a 15 minute bike ride away (be warned that there are not a lot of dinner options in the area, but there is also a 24 hour family mart open nearby). Highly recommend this stay!

I stayed here in July and the bathroom was a bit too hot .

Everything was super clean, the spaces are really nice and it is perfectly located in the middle point of Shimanami Kaido :)

We went here as a stopover during our cycle of the shiminami kaido route, since it is around the half way mark. there was only one other group of guests staying at the moment, so it felt like we had the place to our selves. Al the rooms are in a really beautiful wooden house, and everything was comfortable and clean. If you want to cycle the route in two days, I would really recommend this place.

Beautiful place. Cozy feeling.

I thought the price was a little expensive.

Very clean, comfortable, host was friendly, location was good, there was a covered area to park bicycles, a room with monitors to work in, a shared kitchen and bathroom with amenities.

Stayed in May 2025

Super comfy bed. Shared kitchen facilities were ultra clean and well equipped. There was free laundry which was great post rainy cycling. Location was nice on a quiet part of the island but just off the main road/cycling route. 15mins walk to the bus stop. But no shops/restaurants nearby so need to come prepared with some food.

WOW! This place is wonderful! One of the most beautiful places I've stayed during my month in Japan. I am only sorry I had just one night, would like to stay longer. Easy to find, all necessary amenities, fully equiped kitchen with traditional ceramics dishes and all electronic appliances you could imagine. AC heates the room well. Shower quite big. Everything spotlessly clean. Emergency food available, since there are probably no shops nearby. Drinks too. Tea & good coffee for free. Boardgames available. The house is designed in an old traditonal japanese style with tatami floors. I was amazed. It looks even much better than on the photos. The staff speaks english, which can be quite useful after an exhausting day on the bike :)

A little bit pricey, but in the end it is worth it.

The place is conveniently situated right in the middle of the shimanami bike trail. It’s perfect for a night rest.

Situated almost exactly at the halfway point of the Shimanami Kaido, this property is the perfect rest stop! Kai, who greeted us and showed us our room, graciously helped us throughout our stay. He found me a multi-tool to tighten my bike saddle post and also helped me ship luggage last minute. The property is thoughtfully renovated equipped with rooms with comfy bunk-bed set ups and comfortably-large shared bathroom, kitchen, and living areas.

Everything was fantastic!

the bed was super comfy, the kitchen was impressive with everything you need to cook, or re-heat convenience meals. the showering and toilets were clean and great.

Perfect location when doing Shimanami Kaido in two days. However not much else around. Seems brand new.

Beautiful place, pretty much exactly at the halfway point of shimanami kaido. Host also helped us with suggestions for dinner and breakfast and making reservations.

I’ve been travelling across Japan for over a month and could finally unwind at Omishima Space Omoya. It is a well-restored traditional house in a peaceful location, with superb amenities and a great vibe. My room was rather small but comfortable, and that night I got the common areas all to myself. The staff also provides a couple of electric bicycles free of charge on the first-come-first-served-basis, and I really enjoyed cycling the island. This accommodation is perfect for both holidays and workations.

I liked everything.

The place is BEAUTIFUL. They really did a good job rebuilding a Japanese traditional style home which is also quite modern at the same time. Common areas and the rooms are well taken care of. Everything was perfectly clean and both the bathrooms and the kitchen are fully furnished and very comfortable to use. The staff is also very helpful when needed, even if they might not be at the reception all the time.

Nothing

This was a great place to stay en route cycling Kaido and was a lovely quiet place to stay. I arrived with no food but they had some noodles which was sufficient.

Only real complaint is that the mattresses provided are thin, so the feel when you lie down is quite hard. I found this to be very odd given that the comforter/duvet/blanket they provide is very thick and comfortable. Would also suggest that parking space for the bikes be kept in a more separate area. It was slightly inconvenient to move/store the bikes while trying not to bother people who were resting. Still a good space overall!

The owners of the property are very helpful and attentive and were keen to ensure that I was able to check-in with ease. The rooms and living/shared areas are clean. The environment is also very quiet which is very helpful if you are recovering from a long bike ride. The owners are also very upfront about the fact that there are little to no food options in the area, and were also helpful in providing possible food options and letting me know which of those food options were too far for that time of the day. Overall, the location is a very good rest point if you are doing the Shimanami Kaido as it is roughly just past the halfway mark.

Beautiful space, good facilities with a good kitchen. About 15 min walk from the main bike drop off point. 20 minutes walk to Lawson and 30 walk to a nice Onsen.

Perfect. We stayed halfway through completing the Shimanami Kaido. Great location, signs make it easy to find. Only just off the route and right near the halfway point. Great facilities and everything we needed for a relaxing night.

The location was slightly hard to find on google maps. Noted that it was an old house and an insect came into the house. There was poor lighting outside the house, when using the washing machine (and it was very dark outside).

It was very comfortable stay, clean, and with essential facilities. The ambience was very nice, like an authentic Japanese traditional home.

Everything is perfect. The house is wonderful.

Traditional homes turned into a guesthouse with communal kitchen and living areas -- extremely clean and convenient for bikers on the Shimanami Kaido, with a nice yard and view.

The place is nice and beautiful, everything is clean, new and works well, and still the house preserves a traditional look. The owner can speak perfect English
