Traveling to Japan? Find Onomichi hotels

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.

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.

We chose to stay here on our last night as we had an early morning flight and airport bus connection (no train, metro etc) from Hiroshima centre began too late. Airport shuttle is provided by hotel but , as this was late afternoon, had to ask information desk at airport to phone for it. Took 5 mins to arrive! However, each morning the shuttle leaves hotel/airport at 20 min intervals. Room was old, but very clean and comfortable. We had a very good meal in the bar/lounge, which was empty as opposed to the restaurant, which was very busy. Before our flight, we enjoyed a very morning walk in the beautiful gardens. All staff were excellent. Definitely recommend it for transit stopovers or for early departures/late arrivals..

Facilities in the room are bit old but it’s quite better than other hotels in there. JR Onomichi station is almost 2 minutes to walk, Senkouji ropeway station is 15 minutes to walk, Onomichi main street is 5minutes to walk and Shimanami seaside way is right on there. Also bus station is very close and very nice to contact from anywhere. Highly recommanded if you travel this wonderful old country side.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Short access from Shin Onomichi station was if one gets in by Shinkansen, much longer bus ride of about 30 minutes from Onomichi Station. About 10 minutes walk from bus stop, signs to ryokan on main road not visible. Although no bath room attached, facilities are available close to all the rooms on each floor. Staff speak some English but very helpful. Onsen is public, so expect to be busy during certain hours and day

Staying at Migiwatei Ochikochi was an amazing experience. Although it is expensive it is definitely worth it. There’s a free shuttle bus to and from Fukuyama station. Throughout our stay the service was outstanding; the staff were all so nice and welcoming. The room was spotless and had a luxurious feel whilst still maintaining a traditional japanese aesthetic. The bath on the balcony looking over the water and the nearby islands was breathtaking. The dinner and breakfast were delicious but be warned it is very traditional so tell them in advance if you have any dietary requirements. All in all I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a luxurious traditional japanese experience.

Amazing room and service. The sunrise is beautiful from the room. The service staff try their best although none really speak proper English. The hotel is catered to Japanese therefore nothing is written in English. There is not a single English Channel on tv ( not even news) but we are aware we don’t come for that. Still it would have been good especially if you would be staying for a couple of nights. Not much to do in the area after dark.

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!!

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.

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.
