Ryokans in Shimanami Kaido Cycling Road

"I was riding the Shimanami Kaido and the Green Hill Hotel proved to be an excellent place to stay for the start. First off, it’s location is perfect. Service was great and staff were extremely polite and helpful, as expected from Japanese hotels. Check-in was easy, as was having them arrange transport for my bags to my next hotel on Omisihima Island. Once in the room the hotel further impressed me. The room was decently sized for a Japanese hotel with a gorgeous view of the harbor. The AC provided blessed relief from the heat that had been lingering up until that day I was there as did two cups of tasty citrus snacks provided for free in the room. In the morning the breakfast buffet proved to be excellent, with plenty of options to choose from including delicious seafood, as expected from a seaside hotel. I would have happily stayed another night but I had a bike ride to do."

"Well maintained hotel building"

"I slept like a baby the moment my head hit the pillow, even in a shared women’s dorm, which says a lot about how comfortable it was. The facility is spotless, modern, and has a high-end feel. The staff is exceptionally friendly, their service top-notch, and they speak English very well. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend it."

"Breakfast was very good, much more than we expected."

"Room is clean, staff service good, equipment and facilities looks very new or well maintained, very near train station and bus terminal, next to malls and shops and great view to Fukuyama Castle if you are lucky "

"The staff go above and beyond. Everything was very clean and the breakfast is great. The staff also has great English and enjoys speaking it. I highly recommend this place! I hope to return one day. Thank you "

"We loved the beautiful onsen spa!"

"Very nice and well equipped studio. Walking distance from the port, good place to stay if you need a place to stay before/after the Shimanami Kaido bike trip."

"Fantastic minimalist style hotel overlooking the harbour. Great views from bar and main rooms. On site onsen! The food is absolutely amazing - proper local foods beautifully prepared and presented. Treat yourself to dinner and a breakfast. And the staff are wonderful. Note you will need to use a taxi frequently but that shouldn’t cost more than 1400 yen each way. There are also rooms for those with bikes"
