Small and beautifully appointed ryokan/onsen set in the fishing village of Tomonoura about a p mins from Fukuyama. The rooms have balconies that look out to sea. Each room has its own private onsen. Complimentary drinks, Yakutia's to be worn to the dining room and other public areas. The set breakfast and dinner menu was extraordinary. Beautifully presented with some unique and different dishes served by very attentive and respectful attendants. A fantastic experience which will make for wonderful memories!

A perfect stay on a Friday night from the welcoming staff to the comfort of the private oven to a fantastic dinner (with French wine !). Excellent night , great Japanese breakfast and then a bicycle ride in this beautiful coastal town with many temples . Not to mention the incredible sea view from my room. The staff has a limited practice of English but it only adds to the uniqueness of the experience and they could not have been nicer

While looking for a place to break up our Western Japan road trip and unwind for 2 nights in a small, luxury property, we settled on Migiwatei Ochi Kochi, a high-end ryokan in the port town of Tomonoura. Pouring through articles and reviews (mostly in Japanese), we felt that it would offer large, comfortable rooms with great views, easy access to (leisurely) sightseeing and great food. As we had hoped, Miguwatei Ochi Kochi perfectly fit the bill for us. The ryokan is a relatively small property with just 17 rooms, but comes with all of the amenities one would expect from a much larger luxury hotel. It was built in 2010, so it's still relatively fresh and new, with very little sign of wear and tear. While it lacks a tranquil garden that some luxury ryokans have (think Asaba in the Izu Peninsula), its calling card is the view from both its common area and all of its guestrooms - they all have unobstructed views of the Seto Inland Sea, as well as of the Bentenjima and Sensuijima Islands not far away. It's makes for a really relaxing vibe, which combines well with the modern Japanese architecture and decor, which suits this ryokan very nicely. We stayed in an "Upper Suite Room", the top room category at the ryokan, and features a bedroom and living room as well as a very nice open-air Onsen (hot springs) bath on the room terrace. It's sufficiently large enough to relax and not feel cramped, and - as a bonus - we had meals served in our own room (which is something that is slowly disappearing from even the top ryokans), which we love. The room was stylish without being cluttered, and its earthly tones gave us a warm, welcoming feeling. The property also has two private baths that can be rented - free of charge - by guests. It's obviously larger than the Onsen bath in the guest rooms, so it was a nice change of pace to try it out. Our first night's meal was otherworldly. This ranks among the top 10 meals we've had in a Japanese ryokan. Sure, they have the advantage of getting access to the bounty of seafood, vegetables and meats from the area, but the kitchen staff then take it and make it truly memorable. Yes, it's technically Kaiseki (like at most ryokans), but Migiwatei Ochi Kochi's dinners are exquisitely presented, uniquely prepared and flavored, and meticulously explained (in Japanese to us, mind you) by the servers. We loved the Conger Eel sashimi, which was a first for us. Conger Eel is a delicacy in Japan, but not so unique that it's not offered in many restaurants. But to be served Conger Eel Sashimi, along with the raw liver of the Conger Eel, was definitely a privilege... often in Japan, along with Sashimi comes the liver of the seafood (especially Eel, Abalone, Octopus, etc.), which means that it's FRESH. One seafood that I generally do not like is Mantis Shrimp, but here, it was pretty darned good, which is saying a lot - I've tried liking it before, but never had one that didn't gross me out. Here, it didn't. Even less exotic ingredi

This hotel faces Tomonoura, about 30 minutes by car from Fukuyama. Tomonoura is a quiet fishing port, but historically, it is home to historical sites related to Yoshiaki, the last shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate, and the Kaien-tai from the end of the Edo period, and the narrow alleys lined with houses are beautiful. The Oononon Hotel does not have a parking lot, so they will pick you up and drop you off at the parking lot of the nearby Omokaze Hotel, which is part of the same group. The hotel entrance is a wooden structure that was moved from an old house, and even the walkway has a sense of elegance. The rooms have baths facing the sea, but the private bath on the top floor is very large and has an excellent view. Reservations are required, but it is definitely worth using. The food is a Japanese banquet course, but both the quality and quantity are satisfactory. The specialty, sea bream rice, is particularly delicious. You can choose between Japanese and Western for breakfast, and after-meal coffee can be enjoyed on the seaside terrace while looking out at the islands and boats.

I had stayed at the sister hotel, Ofutei, quite some time ago and was delighted by the deliciousness of the food. I thought this would be just as good, and was once again blown away by how good it was. We were talking about how we'll never eat sea bream sashimi anywhere else in the future. We had a relaxing bath in the room and enjoyed a blissful time. And the coffee was delicious, too. The coffee that's placed in the entrance so you can drink it any time is usually not that great, but this hotel seemed to have cut corners and selected good quality coffee.

The view from the rooms is amazing, and the food is of a very high standard, so you can enjoy both dinner and breakfast. In addition, all rooms have an open-air hot spring bath, so you can enjoy a luxurious view from the open-air bath on the wooden deck 24 hours a day.

Very well located facing the sea and a small island with a temple, this ryokan welcomes you in a very hospitable way. The dining room is very good and the dinner absolutely sumptuous. Small private onsen in the rooms, this place is perfect for relaxing and the large village of Tomono Ura also has a lot of charm.

We stayed on the second day of our 3-night, 4-day trip to Setouchi. Park your car in the parking lot near the sister inn, and take a courtesy car from there to the inn. However, the courtesy car stopped in front of a narrow alley.Is there an inn in such a place? As I thought, I walked about 30 meters down the alley, and there was a wonderful inn. The room was nice, but the food was too good. The Setouchi ingredients were carefully selected, and all the dishes were harmonious without quarreling, and the soup stock left a lasting impression. It was quite shocking for Kanto people who were used to the strong taste, and I thought it was amazing rather than delicious. It was a pity that I couldn't drink during the treatment and recovery of a serious illness, but once I overcome my illness, I would like to visit again and enjoy the meal together with alcohol.

When I was sightseeing in Tomonoura, I stayed in a standard twin (39 square meters) Western-style room with an open-air ceramic bath. It's a little disappointing to have to pick you up at the parking lot of an affiliated hotel because cars can't enter, but it's located in a Tomonoura-like location in the back of an alley by the sea, and the Edo period wooden structure with a tiled roof and red iron oxide lacquered front entrance gives you a taste of good old Japan. Bentenjima and Sensuijima floating in the Seto Inland Sea can be seen from the window of the room and the open-air bath. The room is clean and in a good location, but the living space is rather small. We ate our meals in the dining room while looking out at the sunset seascape. It was a course menu that added seasonal high-end fish to the deliciousness of the local ingredients unique to the Seto Inland Sea. From appetizers to sashimi, fried chicken, sakura sea bream shabu-nabe, Kuroge Wagyu beef grilled with black pepper, sea bream boiled rice, and finally sweets, the seasoning and presentation were of a high standard and I was very satisfied. In particular, the sea bream rice cooked in an earthenware pot was excellent, and even though I was hungry, I had to ask for more. There are many young staff, but I was able to get a good impression with their casual yet polite customer service. It is an inn that I would use again if I had the chance.

We couldn't go abroad due to the coronavirus, so we spent our 30th wedding anniversary here. The room was very spacious, with Bentenjima and the Seto Inland Sea right in front of us, and the lights of Fukuyama City in the distance. The bath was also excellent. We were able to spend a truly elegant time in a suite-type room. The food was also perfect.

I've always wanted to visit Tomonoura. This time, my wife and I visited. The upper suite room we stayed in was a very nice room, with a separate dining room, living room, and bedroom. You can see Bentenjima directly in front of you, and the ferry boats coming and going created a very nice atmosphere. You can also see the ocean from the open-air bath. The spring water is a simple radioactive spring (radium spring) that is heated and circulated. The water is unremarkable, but it's very relaxing to just bathe while looking out at the ocean. We had meals in the in-room dining area. It felt very private, which was nice. We were also very satisfied with the food. For breakfast, we had Japanese food in the dining area. It seems that you can also choose Western food. The room, food, and service were all good during our stay. The location was especially great.

I've always wanted to visit Tomonoura. My wife and I stayed here at the end of January. The upper suite room we stayed in was a fine room with a dining room, living room, and even a bedroom. You can see Bentenjima right in front of you, and the ferry boats coming and going create a great atmosphere. You can also see the ocean from the open-air bath. The hot spring is a simple radioactive spring (radium spring) and a cold mineral spring, so it is heated and circulated. The spring quality is not particularly special, but the view is great and satisfying. The private bath is also nice. The in-room dining was very private and good. The food was also satisfying. For breakfast, we had Japanese food in the restaurant. It seems they also serve Western food. The location was the best thing about it.
