Incredible views from the traditional room in a 100 year old tea-house. Onomichi was one of our favourite places on the whole trip, with us hiking up the rest of the hillside at night with lantern-light views down on to the town.. Onomichi is also the perfect starting point for Shimanami Kaido - we rented our bikes in the town. The vibe is a bit more like a lovely friendly hostel, with everyone encourage to eat in the common areas (allowed to bring own food and drinks). It is a bit of a hike up to the accommodation, but the owners gave plenty of warnings about this, and we followed their suggestion and left the bulk of our luggage at the train station.

Just loved this place for the incredible location, the passion and vision of the renovation and the high quality work that has gone into the restoration and the willingness to share it with visitors and guests. We also loved Onomichi itself, a wonderful surprise - what an interesting prot town with so much to do and see, and lovely restaurants very accessible. We loved that the owner spent time chatting to us, giving recommendations for dinner, and sharing his personal journey and story about the renovation, it made it really memorable.

real, well-maintained, old style house with a gorgeous view and very friendly staff. Onomichi is a hidden gem itself while this house takes you back in time. I hope to be back in Onomichi and when I'm there I know where I'm staying.

It’s in a magnificent location. The view is superb, atmosphere is great. Staff is very friendly and worthy of admiration for reconstructing this traditional house! If you want a traditional tatami-type stay in Japan, this is more than it.

You have to climb a hundreds of steps to get to the accommodation. The view was absolutely stunning, and the host were really nice. They have a coffee shop which can be used as a common area.

Guest house is a beautiful old building which has been carefully restored. Downstairs is a lovely bar with views over the town and out to sea. Rooms are traditional tatami mats - spotlessly clean - again with fantastic views.

We followed the suggestion of storing our suitcases in the coin lockers at Onomichi station and didn't regret it because of the long stairway up to the guesthouse (no problem with backpacks only though). The staff was very welcoming, the house is beautifully renovated and it is located on a hill overlooking Onomichi. The main shopping street of Onomichi, including restaurants, cafés and a convenience store is 10-15 minutes away. The walls are paper-thin, but our neighbours were very respectful and quiet. We really liked staying at Onomichi and the guesthouse and can totally recommend the experience!

One of the most beautiful guesthouses I've stayed at in all Japan. The view from the cafe/bar and the rooms is incredible. It's an old building that has obviously been restored with a lot of love and care. And the guys running it are really kind and helpful people.

The cafe downstairs was open til midnight which was cool. The atmosphere is very warm and homely, and leaves one feeling rested and peaceful. The view from the ropeway observatory above was breathtaking at dawn. My host was incredibly welcoming and spoke wonderful English.

Amazing views and traditional tatami rooms, and you get to see the most beautiful sunrise 🤩 The area and the cafe downstairs give out good vibes.
