Extremely well situated, fantastic view of the bay. Very kind host, cafe open late (midnight). Traditional house, renovated. If you're allergic to hearing the other guests, avoid. If you like soft and whispering ambient, go for it.

An amazing location in an amazing city. My favourite place that I visited in my 3 weeks in Japan. Onomichi is a must. Very beautiful, interesting, authentic place. The Hotel has a bar and some light meals at times. Great view. Traditional large clean rooms. A bit more minimal but I liked that.

Walls are paper thin but it’s a very old property- so to be expected!

Stunning old building with incredible views. Friendly, helpful staff

It was a beautiful location overlooking the town. It felt really special to be staying in a place with so much history. The host was amazing. Hugely helpful and insightful.

It's a big hill up there which is worth the view, but no dinner options up the hill, so stock up at 7-11 before you head up the hill and treat yourself to a bento box or some noodles on the lovely terrace (although remember the bug spray)!

Beautiful views and a traditional setting. Very comfy but will depend on who is in the rooms around you. Nice cafe and good breakfast options.

Everything. One of the most authentic stay's in Japan so far. The view is also amazing. Close to the temples.

Beautiful, picturesque location, was great for relacing and visiting the temple. Would definitely like to book again and stay longer.

Onomichi Guest House Miharashi-tei is a charming and unique accommodation that beautifully blends history, culture, and comfort.

The location is ideal, with easy access to Onomichi’s famous Temple Walk and local attractions. Staying at Miharashi-tei feels like stepping back in time while still enjoying modern comforts—a truly memorable experience for anyone visiting Onomichi!

Our daughter got bit up by mosquitos at night.

Beautiful view from our room.

Make sure to bring a small towel with you, as you will otherwise have to rent it. The room in summer gets really hot and it takes a while for the AC to cool it down.

Absolutely loved the location of this Hotel, situated at the top of a mountain overlooking all of Onomichi. It was absolutely as stunning being able to see the sun go down over the city from your room and see the sunrise the next day.

Unfortunately we had noisy neighbours, not the guesthouses' fault, and we also had to get up to turn off the hallway light at night as it was keeping us awake. The toilet didn't have a bidet, so we used the public toilet opposite the guesthouse which was just as clean, this is Japan after all!

Amazing location, awesome sunset and great views. Lovely breakfast, good coffee and thick toast with jam. We would stay again if in the area.

The house is old and made in Japanese style - as you can imagine the paper door aren’t sound proof, some guests weren’t very mindful about it and made quite a bit noise in the evening. I suggest you bring ear plugs just in case.

The property is located in a very cute and historic part of the town, it has a very authentic feel. The staff is very very friendly, there is also a bar, a kitchen, showers and a terrace. We were quite sad we only got to spend one night there, wish we could enjoy Onomichi and the Guest house a few days more!

It is on top of a hill so it’s tiresome to get up 300 steps after a long day of walking around, but the view from above makes it worth the effort!

The view is incredible! The owner is very nice and helpful!

Cant recommend it enough if you want to experience sleeping in a beautiful old Japanese house on a hill! The staff is very sweet, take their time to carefully explain everything. The stay also has a small cafe, where you can even eat your own outside food or just hang around. Room + the view from this stay is amazing! :)

Such a special place to get a true feel for a Japanese guest house. This place is a part of the revitalization of Onomichi structures and they did such a lovely job. If you have a lot of luggage you should leave it at another hotel and pay for them to store it as we did. We packed a smaller bag and hiked up the hill. You can also take the trolley to the top and walk down but it’s still hard to haul luggage. Truly a treat to have gotten to stay here.

Up a very steep hill. No noise insulation as with most old Japanese properties!

Incredible views of the town from our room. Gorgeous room with wraparound windows.

Really lovely location and amazing view. Lots of character. We loved the cafe and the kitchen was great. Super fun and unique stay!

Worth the stay, one of the most interesting and beautiful places I've staid at. The view is stunning and watching the sunset in the morning is a highlight. The cafe downstairs is also very nice with friendly staff. It is a bit tricky to access but I think that adds to the experience!

Stayed in April 2025

Mild inconvenience of the shower being in a different building that you have to walk downstairs to get to, but this is more than reflected in the very reasonable price of this accommodation.

Staying here was a definite highlight of our trip! The guesthouse is absolutely beautiful - full of history and in the most incredible location right underneath Senko-ji temple. I would recommend staying AT LEAST 2 nights - 1 night is definitely not enough to soak it all in. Sitting in the cafe overlooking the city was an absolute dream. The cafe is open to the public but is also a space where guests can eat and drink their own food which felt really nice and cosy. The walls of the rooms are basically decorative so you really can hear all the other guests staying, but I was pleasantly surprised at how considerate all the other guests were of noise and everyone was so quiet after 9pm. I could not recommend this guesthouse highly enough!

Nothing at all, a perfect stay.

Amazing view from our room towards the river. Super friendly and welcoming staff. Great location a walk away from the main road, super close to Senkoji temple. Clean and comfortable common kitchen and bathroom facilities. A unique experience sleeping on tatami mats. Historic guest house oozing with character. Very highly recommended!
