Guest Houses in Omishima

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."

Made me feel right at home!! lovely interior and a cute and comfortable room

Great little guesthouse, even got discount tickets for the nearby onsen and amazing local restaurant reccomendations. Thank you very much :)

Everything was great, Very clean and comfortable. Friendly hosts. Good location.

Great place to rest up during the Shiminami Kaido. Felt like I was staying in someones room. There was also information including different restaurants that were available for breakfast and dinner with the type of food and opening times, something that I did not fully plan for

It was a very good stay. Highly recommend for big groups. The beds are so soft and the view is exceptional. The host was nice to show us around and drive our luggage to the port.

Yaju-san and his wife (and Pooh) were absolutely lovely, they both speak English and Yaju-san even speaks some french!! I was made very welcome and they were able to recommend me a very good Izakaya close by where I could eat dinner. The rooms were spotless and I slept like a log on the very comfortable bed. I cannot recommend enough this place. ありがとうございました、すてきなへやとかいぞく

Fabulous stay here, cannot recommend enough. The main thing that stood out for us was the service, the man who showed us round was so helpful, gave us really detailed directions to places, restaurant recommendations with little details, and helped us hire bikes and a canoe. Nothing was too small for him to help us with, and he even fixed the outside shade covering in the pouring rain!! The villa itself was perfect for what we needed, right on the beach (check for jellyfish!) and on the main cycle routes. Shops about a 20-30min cycle ride away, and there were great facilities for cooking. We had a BBQ three out of the four nights we stayed. Overall an 11/10 stay and would definitely recommend, and would love to stay again if we ever come back to Japan!! Thank you!!

Very nice guest house where we will feel like at home ❤️ Super clean, very comfortable beds, lockers and delicious breakfast! Perfect location with very big supermarket just 5 min away. Thank you so much!!

The owner was really friendly and the breakfast was good. The place is really nice and the view over the canal was great. Rooms were quite spacious.
