Guest Houses in Omishima

We were very fortunate to have a chance to stay at Hakata Plus homestay. The unit was new and very clean. it was also very close to Hakatajima Bus Station. Lawson mini market was just beside the bus stop. The host Keiichi and wife were very friendly and extremely helpful. So coincident it was Cherry Blossoms at Hirakiyama Park, appreciate Keiichi to drive us there for sunset view. We were so excited to see the beautiful Sakura all over the mountain. Really appreciate his kindness to spend time for us. The homestay's view was excellent in which the window screen focuss the entire view of the beach, island and the Oshima Bridge. It was the perfect stay among many places we stayed in Japan. Highly recommended place to stay for those whose come to Hakata Island

The place is conveniently situated right in the middle of the shimanami bike trail. It’s perfect for a night rest.

After a full day of cycling across the Shimanami small islands, we finally arrived at the guesthouse. I stood at the entrance near the door and said "hello" a few times, but no one came out. At the end of the room, I saw someone peacefully napping. So, I went out for a walk while waiting for the sweet nap to finish. After about 20 minutes, I came back and greeted again. A woman who looked around 60 years old came out and welcomed us with a smile. After setting everything up, I sat down in the living room and made a cup of black tea. There was some aroma placed in the cabinet, so I asked the hostess if I could try it. After she introduced the aroma, she urged us to soak to the onsen right away. The sunset over the bridge I saw during the onsen was truly amazing—a kind of magic hour. After the onsen and dinner, I returned to the guesthouse, continued enjoying my tea, and tried an aroma called "眠" (Sleep). In that moment, I experienced complete peace, as if time had paused. After spacing out for about two hours, I went to sleep. The night was a little cold. To my surprise, the next morning I saw my sleep score was 97—something I had never reached before. I felt full of energy the next day. It’s really unbelievable—the sleep quality I had there. I still haven’t been able to replicate it. Before leaving the guesthouse, we had a conversation. She said she had worked in Tokyo for about 20 years. After her parents passed away, she moved here. She honestly said there were too many people in Tokyo and she didn’t like it. She prefers the peace here. At that moment, I felt she had shown me how beautiful peace can be. And I realized that, in part of my heart, I’m the same as her. We said goodbye to the hostess and told her, "Stay healthy. We’ll come again."

We had the most amazing stay at Grandma's house. We opted for the full board having dinner and a traditional Japanese breakfast. The food was so fresh and delicious! This stay is an absolute must if you are cycling the Shimanami Kaido. It is over half way along the route so it's a great place to stop over to rest if you want to do the full route in 1.5/2 days. This was our first time sleeping on the tatami mats and we were pleasantly surprised with the comfort and warmth! The staff were so kind, we were very sad to be leaving!

Dinner and breakfast were both delicious; the best of our entire trip!

The owners were extremely welcoming and accommodating. They had good suggestions for activities in town.

Although basic and very small the room was perfect for one night. Showers and toilets were very clean. Other guests were considerate.

Cute place with cozy beds and nice atmosphere in room. Located in nice town close to shrine and wisteria garden and several good restaurants. Shared toilets and shower we're very clean. We were very happy there after a day of cycling!

Great quiet location. Good communication with the host.

I did an overnight stop during Shimanami Kaido and enjoyed my stay with Onzo. Amenities were provided (toothbrush, floss, hairbrush, shampoo,…) which is nice so you don’t have to carry on the bike. The bed was comfy and everything was clean. Very good value for money
