Great value, great food and great hospitality

We stayed for three nights and really enjoyed our stay. Mihonseki is a small but very interesting fishing village with a lot of character, the beautiful Miho shrine and fascinating daily shinto ceremony. We stayed in the annex which is about 5 mins walk from the main hotel - a bit like staying in someone's old house, we were slightly sceptical at first but soon settled in and really enjoyed it. The food in the main hotel (breakfast and dinner) was excellent, with the dinner focused on local crab, fish and seafood. The staff were very friendly and polite and we would come back without any hesitation.

A wonderful Japanese experience

Perfectly authentic property overlooking the bay in a remote area of Shimane. Hosts are wonderful, food is wonderful, bathroom refurbished and has excellent water pressure. Sunsets are breathtaking. Saw a submarine passing right in front of my room. Nice to stir in the morning to the bells on the fishing boats returning from their early morning haul.

Authentic charming fishing village.

Our most Japanese stay, with very friendly people and a great waterside location. Would have enjoyed the balcony in better weather, and the fishing rods. The shrine, virtually next door, was magical at dusk, with us only 2 other people there. An unspoilt little village.

A highlight of our tour of the Japan Sea coast

A wonderful Riokan in the tiny fishing town Mihonoseki. The breakfast and evening meals were delicious sea feasts. The room large with separate sleeping and day sections and a great view over the fishing harbour. There is a wonderful shinto shrine Miho which is important in the area without does the excess crowds.

A lovely stay

If you have a car and want to go keep driving about an hour from Matsue, this quiet little fishing town is the spot for you. The hosts were lovely and the accommodation was a typical traditional ryokan. We were very fortunate to have a view of the ocean. The dinner prepared was fit for a king! We homely felt very privileged.

What an amazing stay. The perfect small village Japanese experience. The staff were so welcoming and the location was beautiful. Day 1 we explored Mihonoseki, day 2 was an easy drive to Yuushien gardens, Matsue Castle and the Adachi Museum of Art. Traditional rooms with a view over the bay. The dinner and breakfasts were outstanding...a must if you love seafood! We highly recommend staying at Fukumakan - it has been a highlight if our trip!

Opened up my sliding doors and watched the fishing boats pull in at 4:30am in total quiet. Special.

Absolute waterfront over quiet fishing port. Accommodation next door to large temple complex with morning and afternoon ceremonies including female dancers. Great walks from front door to lighthouse and through mountains. Host drove me to and from airport and to train station for a trip to Adachi. Overall best place I stayed after travelling one month solo. Dinner was spectacular. Bill Evans in the background, wonderful seafood, wonderful view. A really peaceful place where you could do as much as you like or not.

Wonderful!

The view from the room was stunning. It Made for a perfect place to really experience this beautiful part of Japan and try the local seafood. I was also impressed by how English friendly it was for a more off the beaten path location. I got to go out on a boat dropping some fishermen off to an island which made for a highlight of my trip thanks to the owner of Fukumakan.

The location is brilliant, room was comfortable, staff and host were great, food was good.
