Find Hotels in Onomichi, Japan

Even though Miharashi-tei is a heritage building, the interior was well designed and maintained. The cafe had an excellent overview of Onomichi and a gorgeous sunset view. Because of the view, cupped with the excellent matcha latte, one could probably sit at its cafe the whole day and muse away. To top it up, the staff was friendly and helpful. The location is excellent as well with Senkoji temple just around the corner (literally just a few steps away), the Senkoji Park just before it (you may find some cats lingering around the park) and the cat alley just down the road. The only gripe, the climb up to Miharashi-tei can be quite challenging especially when you have a large luggage! So it’s probably a place excellent for backpackers and those traveling light!

I chose Onomichi at random and loved it. If you are a walker, go 50m east of Onomichi station to the level crossing and look up. The white building with the traditional one on the left is the hotel. Now decide if you want to pay y1,000 to a taxi. I taxied up(I am 68), but walked up and down without luggage, and later down with a suitcase. Veer left from a tall set of stairs which just goes into the school. Brilliant view. The town below is great for food and drinks. And at least on the days I was there the staff spoke better English than I did and were wonderful.

According to the owners, this house is over 200 years old. It is absolutely spectacular, especially if you get the chance to book the private room at the top floor! The interior is very traditional, with thin walls, wooden floors and large sliding doors that lead straight to the alley two floors bellow. The light shining through the windows in the morning was breathtaking and the location of the guesthouse a very short distance from the train station, the beautiful mountain with countless temples and the fisherman port. Expect to hear a bit of rowdiness at night since this building is quite old and not soundproof. If you're accustomed to backpacking, then you must already use ear plugs on a regular basis for sound sleeping as we do, thus the noise here is not an issue. For early birds, there is a DELICIOUS little pastry shop right by the guesthouse in the small market. We would definitely go again!

Easy to get to the hotel. Staff were nice, and a ladies’ care pack was given when checking in. Essential amenities were all present. There was even a handy ‘handphone’ which provides various information (tourist attractions, how to use facilities, etc.) that travelers could use and bring out during their stay. As for the heater, the temperature would be just nice for the bottom bunk but a bit too hot for the upper bunk when it is on

I only stopped here overnight while on a bicycle tour. The staff were more than kind; offering a safe place to store my bike overnight and allowing me to check in just a bit early. A bit far from the training station and the many restaurants that surround it, but just a few minutes on foot will take you to some lovely food choices. For my purpose, the hotel represented good value for money.

location is very well, near the fukuyama station, just by walk only 5 min. hotel is new and clean, facility is complete, and the bed is comfortable. inside the hotel it has a public bathtub, It's moderate prices, hotel staff was friendly and professional. go out the elevator, you can see area placing a coffee machine for guest use, and it's free. i satisfy for my stay.

We did not really enjoyed our stay. The hotel room are very very small and the "Small Double Bed" is actually an over-sized single bed, you can't put two persons to sleep on the bed. Service is also below-par. We could not get hotel booking in Hiroshima over the Thanksgiving period so we had to settle for Fukuyama. The location was very convenient as a base for seeing the Kuroshiki and Okayama area.

Just a few minutes walk from train station and buses, plus many major Fukuyama cultural attractions, local shopping and restaurants, made location in town excellent. In addition, a day trip to the town of Hiroshima is fast and easy directly from Fukuyama station. Facilities and value for money rated as only as good due to absence of an iron and ironing board in laundry or alternate supply of this at hand in the room. Like many hotels in Japan, the Richmond chose to provide just a trouser press, which isn't suitable for any other clothing. Access to an iron is a must for travellers and a reasonable expectation for hotels of the standard of the Richmond. If one is available via enquiry at front desk, I would like to suggest a guest request for this be invited via an invitation in the in-room information pack or via a sign in the wardrobe. Other hotel facilities were most welcoming, of high standard and very useful. Breakfast offering excellent and provision of a small hotel lounge next to dining area with newspapers and desktop computer access a very thoughtful addition. We are grateful to the all the Richmond Hotel staff for their exceptional and reliable service.

We ended up in Fukuyama because we couldn't find a good hotel in Hiroshima available. Now I'm happy that happened, because this hotel is just opposite the train station and it takes just over 20 minutes to be in Hiroshima by train (with JR pass). Besides, the hotel is also walking distance from the beautiful Fukuyama Castle and museums. Very convenient. Apart from that, the hotel is the most comfortable we saw in Japan: good beds, shower, spotless bathroom, really dark rooms (good curtains, which is rare), silent and with a very friendly and attentive staff. I couldn't recommend more.

This is a basic family run hotel with a great view of the Seto Inland Sea. Room was very clean and the inn keeper and staff very professional. Keep in mind this is a tourist class hotel, great value for the money especially if you like to off the beaten path.The Japanese breakfast was enjoyable, hotel is about 0.75 miles from JR Sunami station, it is a pleasant walk with the views. Be sure to have dinner at Kyo Sushi it is halfway between the hotel and the train station, the Itamae takes his craft seriously and his food is delicious and reasonably priced, plus he is a really nice guy along with his wife and daughter who extended warm hospitality in the Japanese tradition. I will be back for sure.

We always prefer to stay at hotels with Onsen, and the Route Inn certainly did not disappoint. The hotel is actually attached to the Public Onsen which makes it super convenient. There is also an excellent Japanese Izakaya on site with an excellent menu and great food. The staff speaks limited English but is professional and friendly. The room has good space and the bed is quite firm, almost too hard, but OK for a few nights. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again. If you Enjoy the relaxation of an Onsen with full massage services you will certainly like it here. Excellent!!

This lovely hotel gave us a room with the castle view and it was lovely indeed. The hotel was less than 5min from the station, staff members were warm and all smiles. We were upgraded and had a good-sized room with fairly large bathroom. Bed was comfortable. Room amenities good. We booked with breakfast and was happy with the spread. We were also able to help ourselves with hot and cold beverages during the afternoon and evening. Do pick up a brochure for the old cars and clock museum from the hotel, it gives a discount for the entry fees by just showing it. The museum is very quaint and well-worth visiting. It is a fairly long but pleasant walk, or one could hail a taxi. Use Fukuyama as a base to visit Tomonoura, you would love Tomonoura!

The communication with the reception via email was quite chaotic, but in the end we get to where we wanted to. Just beware that last buses from Hiroshima (and other places around) go to the airport before 8pm. We used a taxi from Shiraichi station (3300 yen in 2019). Otherwise the hotel is similar to all the business hotels in Japan -- clean, good facilities, a little bigger than average. Price is also bigger than average, but I guess you pay for location in this case. They have shuttle buses to the airport, but they only start at 6:40am if I recall correctly. But it's only like 5 minute walk.

This was definitely one of the more nicer hotels I stayed in during my trip. The staff during check in was super nice and I'm just going to say it, I love the pajamas they provide. They were so COMFORTABLE and soft!!! The bathrooms were great and I loved that they had boxes available at all times in the lobby to refill any of the amenities you might want (tea, toothbrushes, washtowels, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, etc). While I can't say a ton for the location because I actually didn't spend a ton of time in Fukuyama (I was doing the Shimanami Kaido trail from Onomichi). It looked like there was quite a bit nearby to see and there are maps with all the attractions available. For those planning on doing the Shimanami Keido, it is maybe a 20 minute (likely less) train ride to Onomichi and the bike rentals and ferries to the start of the route are maybe a 5 minute walk from the station. This is a great alternative to staying in Onomichi and provides you with a really nice place to stay. This hotel is a 15 minute walk to the train station in Fukuyama and super eary to navigate. I think what I liked best about this hotel was the security. I really liked that in order to use the elevators about the reception floor, you need to use your key card. Also, they have really strong security for the baths on the upper floors and codes that change every day for the women's room. I really liked this aspect. Also, breakfast included in the hotel stay is always amazing! They had a good spread. I recommend this hotel.
