Daichoso

We had such a beautiful experience with our one night stay, including a traditional Japanese meal for dinner and breakfast. The room was large, private, and comfortable with amazing large windows looking out on the water. Our stay here is definitely a core memory from our trip to Japan.

We loved it so much we stayed another night

Great location with view of bridge. Extensive Japanese dinner but don’t sit on the floor. Washing machine free to use. Garage for bikes

We came here for the biking and loved this hotel. It’s not easy to get to by public transport. You’ll want a taxi. The rooms are nice and large by Japan standards. The food was amazing. You don’t pick from a menu but they serve many different kinds of food. It is seafood focused. So if you don’t like seafood it might not be the place for you. We love Japanese style food so we were amazed. Definitely a highlight of our trip.

Nice Japanese style place with stunning views

Amazing location with beautiful views of the ocean

Nice place to stay after a full day of bike ride

Fabulous staff. Cycled the Shimanami Kaido from Onamichi to Imabari and this hotel was conveniently located in Imabari. Beautifully quiet with stunning views of the sea and shipping channels.

The staff were super friendly and the view was amazing. Didn’t expect anything special, but it was very nice experience and can recommend for anyone staying a night and having a dinner and breakfast at this place.

Good attention to detail. Ice water and hot pot for tea waiting in room. Great dinner (half board) and breakfast. Convenient to bike rental and Shimanami Kaido bridge. Great views from rooms and restaurant.

The front of the hotel is very narrow so we followed the signs to the parking lot below and took our luggage up by elevator. The elevators are small and the lobby is very narrow so I can imagine how crowded it must get during the busy season. However the room was spacious and the bathroom looked newly renovated and was very spacious too. Everything was clean and the views were nice. However, the bedspreads were nylon so they were not so comfortable. The food was ok. We were not asked if there were any food restrictions or preferences so there was one shellfish dish that I did not eat. I was asked if there was something she could bring in its place, but nothing was ever brought, which is ok because there was a lot of food anyway. The fish was good but the karaage fish with bones was difficult to eat. They need to cook it so that the bones are crispy and edible. The taimeshi at the end was a lot, so they made onigiri for us to take back to our room, which was nice. Breakfast was ok too. Since I am a foreigner who has been living in Japan for many years, I am used to this kind of Japanese breakfast, but new foreign visitors would really enjoy the healthy variety of dishes. Overall, it was a comfortable stay in a nice location.

The food was excellent and the views stunning. Sadly there was no public transport to the accommodation and access from the Shinamami Kaido can be awkward. The staff were friendly but worth noting English very limited. Wi-fi was very good and room spacious. Westerners may feel the property needs a bit of updating decor wise. Overall, very comfortable!

Good food, good view

I really couldn't recommend this hotel for overseas visitors to Japan. The staff were very cold and unhelpful (we sent baggage from the hotel and they didn't assist us with the short form even though they could have done it it a quarter of the time it took us!) and they seemed very uneager to help. Dinner was one of the worst meals I've had in Japan (after living there for several years and visiting 3-4 times per year). They served turban shells, deep fried fish heads with no meat inside, deep fried fish tails that were purely bone, and a really bland whole fish with its head on. The rooms were ok and the view great, but it didn't make up for the poor hospitality and really terrible cuisine.

Nice view. Comfort and clean. Seafood dinner is excellent.

Splendid sea view Wonderful breakfast

Great place to stay. Has pick up and deliver from Imabari train station. Great location on the coastline overlooking the bridge. Nice comfortable room. Japanese hot spring bath. Evening dinner service available until 7:30 pm. Excellent kaiseki style dinner provided. Also comes with an excellent Japanese style breakfast in the morning.

部屋からとレストランからの眺めが非常に良かったです。 ただ、夕食の料理は客に合わせて調理するのではなく、事前に調理されているものが多かったのが残念でした。

ご飯がとても豪華で美味でした。

房間有露台可以看到瀨戶內海的景色，還有一棵開了花的櫻花樹實在十分之驚喜。晚餐和早餐非常好吃，份量非常多，餐廳的職員也非常有禮貌。如果有機會再來附近遊玩，我一定會再來這間旅館。
