Such a quaint and charming place! The hotel reflects traditional Japanese architecture and decor. Very delicious Japanese breakfast. Extremely satisfied!! Close to bunny island too! The hotel staff helped us get a taxi to get to the bunny island dock.

Just the most incredible experience we've ever had in a hotel. So much more that just a hotel, it's a whole Japanese luxury experience. Every member of staff was just incredible - friendly, efficient and really made the experience from the moment we stepped off the dock on the island because they met us there. The rooms are stunning - the pictures don't do them justice. The gardens are beautiful throughout the hotel - they feel very traditionally Japanese. The bathhouse is also stunning, I would...

The location was great. The rooms were clean and “efficient.” The staff were all very professional, helpful, and friendly. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choices.

This was a very nice, straightforward hotel with everything we needed. The room was spacious, and the large bathroom was well designed. Breakfast was merely passable, but reasonable for the price.
The automated check-in and checkout did not work for us, even with staff assistance, though the system may work better for regular guests.
The hotel’s greatest advantages are its spectacular view of the castle and its proximity to the train station. It is extremely convenient, although guests who are...

We absolutely loved this place. It was by far our favorite stay during our 10 days in Japan. Definitely recommend spending extra on the dinner, it was amazing.

A beautiful room in a beautiful hotel. So very close to the JR line station (200 meters door to door), easy access to the rest of Japan via the Shinkansen Trains, a great hub for exploring Western/Southern Japan. Only 30 minuets to Hiroshima, 2 hours to Osaka, and under 5 hours to Tokyo.

On a somewhat iffy looking street but it is not an issue. A very close walk to town and the train station . Staff is very helpful. Hotel is very nice, rooms have a zen quality. Hotel arranged to ship our bags too

Beautiful location and view was incredible! Onsen are clean and lots of amenities. Meals included with the stay (12 course kaiseki dinner and breakfast buffet) were soooo delicious. Staff was very helpful including bringing an early shuttle bus in for just the two of us so we would be on time for our Shinkansen!
Many Japanese travelers and very few foreigners so not a lot of staff speak English but they were very helpful and accommodating. It was much more of a more Japanese vibe versus the...

The breakfast was good and staff were really kind. Theres a mall and restaurants near the hotel that we were able to check out during the day. Had easy access to parking as well.

Fukuyama city is a hidden jewel. Most of the bullet trains stop here and the access to major places, including Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Yokohama, Tokyo, and Fukuoka is a direct line. If you want to visit Tomonoura where major movies scenes were taken, including Studio Ghibli and The Wolverine, I highly recommend Fukuyama.

I have been attracting by Setouchi Shimanami Kaito bike touring for a long time through Taiwanese cycling enthusiasts. At age 75, my wife thinks I am crazy. I booked two nights at Suminoe for 6/17 and 18. The spacious room with ocean view and bidet toilet are very impressive. Miss Wang who is in charge, is very intelligent. She suggested and drove me to the Ikuchijima bike shop to rent a nice one. I started around 9 AM in light rain and stayed cool. No trouble going across Tatara Bridge, but...
