Extremely friendly + helpful staff, and a nice vibe with other travellers. It was a good location for cycling the Shimanami Kaido, right near bike rental + train station and with space to store your own bikes. It was also very close to a lovely super public bath where the hostel staff helped give us a discount, if you want a soak after cycling. We used the kitchen + living space to cook + meet other travellers. One of our best hotel experiences in Japan! The sleeping space is small and functional but has everything you need, the common areas make it very cosy overall.

They were very kinda to me allowing me to reschedule last minute due to dangerous weather conditions, thank you. The location could not be more convenient, right next to bike rental services!

Very helpful staff

If you’re doing the bike trail, it’s perfect. They have garage to store the bikes as well as local suggestions and friendly staff.

“The perfect place where to stop near the Shimanami kaido.”

Fantastic location to stop before or after riding the Shimanami Kaido. Perfect for Cyclists who want to have a safe place to park the bicycle, read all information about the experience of riding Shimanami. Welcoming and helpful staff. Good facilities.

Property was clean and conveniently located. Common area had a nice vibe. Great public onsen nearby.

Right across from Imabari station. Very convenient for biking rentals.

Perfect location.

Very good location. I stayed for 2 nights. If you are a Shikoku pilgrim. The Tenple 55 is 9 mins by walking. And it's also convenient to take the train to get Temple 60 and get off at 伊予西條 station. When I finished Temple 64, I took one bus directly to 今治 Station (The hostel) from T64. The staff always helps you and responds to the message quickly. They are willing to help you. Especially, you can store your luggage on the check-in day eariler and check-out day. And go sightseeing. Very thoughtful. 😄

“Convenient for start or finish of Shimanami”
