Spa Hotels in Onomichi

Everything ! The kids said they prefer to stay here rather than visit Onomichi ! It was really hot weather.

Had choice of pillows which was nice, got good sauna open overnight, rooms were pretty good.

Great accommodations with a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Staff was amazing and so helpful. The facilities were clean and Peaceful, definitely worth the trip to Fukuyama!

The Hotel Ofutei was a wonderful relaxing retreat after the hectic-ness of Osaka and Nagoya. The hotel is right on the water so you can hear the waves lapping at night and the seabirds during the day. There were two western chairs in our tatami room so you could look out the picture window to your hearts content. The futons on the floor provided a sound sleep and weren't problematic even for me with my bad knee. The toilet room, sink, shower/bath room were all separate with the bath tub being deep for soaking. There was a tea service with good sencha and lots of hot water for the teapot. There was also a good-sized mini-refrigerator for bottled water and the local houmeishyu. The kaiseki breakfasts and dinners were the high point! After so many combini and ekibentos, it was a real treat to have wonderfully presented, tasty, and expertly prepared fare. Kudos to the chef! The splurge added to our sense of well-being. The service made you feel like you were well-taken care of. No struggling with luggage -- they hauled it up to the room and then later out to the shuttle service. The hotel personnel were polite, helpful and graceful -- and patient with our sputtering Japanese and fallback into English. The shuttle service took us directly to the JR Station in Fukuyama. This hotel/ryokan is a real find.

Spa and food and the manga library

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.

This place is very special. Beautifully renovated traditional home with all the modern amenities you need after a day of riding. Almost perfectly halfway between Imabari and Onomichi, it is just a short detour off the main route in a small rural village. We stayed only one night and organised with the host for breakfast at nearby WAKKA Cafe and to have a sashimi platter available when we arrived. This stay really added to our authentic rural Japan experience while doing the Shimanami Kaido, we just loved it!
