Guest Houses in Onomichi

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

Excellent facilities & very good hosts

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

The host could not have been friendlier, showed us around the house gave us tips on where to go and where to eat. The property was spotless and the location is a dream. The host has excellent English which makes everything so much easier. I wholeheartedly recommend this location for a holiday. We will certainly be going back if we are in the region again.

The hostel is very clean, great location and the hosts are very kind and helpful. The free breakfast is really good. Definitely recommended. I look forward to be back to Mochilero!

Very nice hostel. The layout of the cubicles were nice. I loved the bunk bed style with the desk beneath it. The wood finish also made it feel very comfy. The beds themselves also have a wooden sliding door that helps to separate it from the other beds. The bed was comfy and the duvet was nice and thick. It's self check in on arrival but the owner still was there to see me and help me get my check in done more smoothly. Many dining options in the surrounding areas making it easy to look for food. Showers were nice and clean with good water pressure. The hot water made it an excellent place to shower, especially after a long day of cycling. They also have laundry facilities if needed (didn't use it this time though)

Great room, comfy beds, storage for bikes. Handy for places to eat. Great place to stay when cycling Shimanami Route.

It’s a surprise. It’s very peaceful and 神社 is just outside the window. The food of the restaurant the owner helped to reserve is very delicious. Strongly recommend.

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."
