Hotel berhampiran 芸予要塞 南部砲台跡, Imabari

喜助の湯チケット・朝食有プランで泊まりました。 JR今治駅の真横ですし近くにローソンもあります。今治名物の焼き鳥屋をはじめ今治の飲み屋街にも若干歩きますが行けます。 金曜日の夜9時ぐらいに到着しましたが無料駐車場がラスト1でぎりぎりセーフで停めれました。 ウェルカムアルコールは21時まで、無料ドリンクは０時までで部屋に持ち込み可能なのがいいですね。アメニティも自由に持っていけます。 下層はどうかわかりませんが上階に泊まると電車の音も全然聞こえませんでした。 喜助の湯は洗練された温泉施設といった感じでとても快適ですので温泉チケット付きプランをおすすめします。

After 3 days cycling (the long and hilly way ) over the Shimanami Kaido and enjoying (?) raw fish and futons this seemed like luxury. It soars above the city like a phallic symbol so you really can’t miss it. It feels plush and posh if perhaps a little dated. Enjoyed the Sky Bar on level 22 (I think) but not the bill or the loud and boring western business men.

Truly excellent facilities. My friends and I were so impressed. It’s a hostel but you do get private spaces, basically giant cubicles with blinds and curtains to give you some privacy. Facilities were basic, but exceptionally clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful as well, despite seeming quite busy. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that the perfect hostel is still a hostel. You get people talking late into the night keeping you up with their mumbling. You have people snoring. It’s nothing the hostel can really do anything about, but it’s something to bear in mind.

Conveniently located about halfway between Onomichi and Imabari along the Shimanami Kaido, WAKKA is much more than a halfway stop. Staying here is an experience you won’t forget for a while. Between us we had a cottage and a dome ‘tent’ both with views of the water & the Tatara bridge (across which we had cycled). We opted for the BBQ dinner on our deck & it was wonderful: sashimi appetiser, local seafood, vegetables & meat (amazing steak, boar sausages, chicken) as well as rice, dessert and mint tea! The hospitality here is so warm that we felt immediately welcomed. All the staff were lovely. Reika (from reception) suggested a trip to the local onsen (public bath) and provided a voucher as well as minibus shuttle (10 min way). This was a great experience and good way to relax after a day’s cycling. We enjoyed breakfast sitting on the cafe deck (great coffee) before we set off for another day of cycling. As well as cottages & dome tents, there are dormitory beds for a more economical stay. WAKKA also offers support to cyclists who aren’t staying at the hotel.

We stayed here for one night in between our bike ride on the shimanami kaido. We choose to do the bike route in two days to relax and enjoy it. Room: We had a very good futon in our room. The decoration is very nice. It is clean and simple yet beautifull. Service: the staff is amazing here. They helped my boyfriend plan a romantic dinner in the restaurant opposite the hotel (also an amazing good restaurant!). Location: The hotel is in a good location on Ikuchijima. It is not that far off the main cycle route and the town is very nice to walk through. Not many people may stop during the bike route, but we do recommend it. It is important to also see the local culture and towns on the islands. Breakfast was served in SOIL and was amazing! You can choose for Japanese or western style breakfast. We personnaly prefer the Japanse breakfast. Their coffee is also quite good. The design of SOIL is very beautifull. We felt very relaxed during our breakfast. A special thank you to the hotel staff for helping plan our special moment at their hotel and at the restaurant. ＜3

Prior to staying at a luxury ryokan in Dogo Onsen proper (Bettei Oborozukiyo), we decided to check out Setouchi Retreat Aonagi as a means to relax on site and explore Tadao Ando's creation. While there's creativity and uniqueness in the design and aesthetic of the property, it kind of left us cold.... it's a sea of concrete in our eyes. Yes, there are some interesting nooks and crannies that stirred our senses, large windows everywhere let in an abundance of natural light, and the decor was tastefully minimalistic, it still felt as if we were staying in a museum or a European castle rather than a grand and comfortable home. Something to experience once, but not really a place one craves to return - at least in our minds. And given that it's a 25-minute drive away from Dogo Onsen, you really need to be a big fan of Mr. Ando to spend more than a night here. Everything about the property was done right. Service is attentive and prompt, the food was very good (not top class but still a memorable experience) and the view of the Seto Inland Sea is Instagram-worthy. We were able to book the one and only Aonagi Suite, which has a massive 170 square meters of living space and is Maisonette-style with the living room having a very tall, double-height ceiling with double-height windows, allowing for breathtaking views and tons of natural light in the room. If there's one nit to pick, it's the lack of a real Onsen bath in the room, which is a bummer. And while many luxury properties in Japan provide a communal or rental Onsen facility (or both), here at Aonagi they offer a Pool with a Sauna and an Onsen Jacuzzi that can be privately rented by guests staying there. Some might like the idea of an Onsen jacuzzi, but we did not. The Onsen experience is supposed to be calm, serene and relaxing; a jacuzzi exudes more of a party atmosphere, which doesn't fit well under this concept. Also, while stylish, the pool and jacuzzi feel like being in a (artificially created) dungeon. I would've much preferred something of an open-air variety, to be honest. The other curious aspect of the property is the fact that all guests (other than those staying at the Aonagi Suite) are forced to dine in the main restaurant. Given that it has ”Retreat” to its name, and caters to celebrities and the wealthy, I would've thought that Aonagi would offer private dining - if not in one's own room, then at least in private ”koshitsu” rooms. We knew this going in, so we were thankful that the Aonagi Suite was available for booking for the date of our intended stay. Dinner was excellent, but how could it not be? Seafood caught in the Seto Inland Sea are world famous in quality, and everything from the local Red Sea Bream, Spanish Mackerel and White Horse Head were fantastic. The executive chef was recently transferred to the property from one of the sister properties (Iki Retreat Kairi Murakami), and still maintains connections to Iki Island that allows him access to amazing fish, namely Lon

It’s a love hotel, but the service and attention to details are way better than what you get in a normal hotel! Couples travelling should definitely try this, it might spark your relationship. Breakfast is great too!

7～8年前に他のスーパーホテルに宿泊した際(二段ベッドの部屋)、狭かったな、と思っていましたが、今回宿泊してやっぱり手狭という印象でした。 ベッドの大きさは問題ないのですが、荷物が多かったので、置くスペースが少なく、ベッドの上に置くしかなかったです。 バスルームも狭くて、身動きが取りにくい感じでした。 エレベーターが一基だったので、混雑時、なかなか乗れないかも。 ただ、立地はコンビニや、飲食店も徒歩圏内にあり、ホテル自体も新しい感じで清潔感がありました。 また、18時～21時までアルコールのフリーサービスがあり、種類もわりと多くこちらは大満足でした。 朝食もフリーで種類は多くはなかったですが、無料でこれだけ頂ければありがたいです。 女性は化粧水などのアメニティももらえて、スタッフの方々も親切丁寧でした。 ありがとうございました。
