Beautiful place. I highly recommend. The staff was lovely, the breakfast very good.

Breathtaking view and peaceful place. Mana was incredible and even drove us to the temple and came back to collect us an hour later (which after a long bike ride was fabulous). The air conditioning worked well and the food served was tasty!

Our experience pre and during our stay was excellent. From booking our luggage and bike package to delivering our bikes, and helping us to organise dinner options, taxis, and change of last minute cycle plans when the weather turned inclement, it was all handled professionally and we felt very well looked after. To say that the staff are helpful, friendly and efficient is an understatement. They made our stay here memorable. The accommodation was well designed with great views across the water. Nice touch that they provide pyjamas, indoor and outdoor slippers and washing machine and drier facilities. Would definitely recommend.

Friendly staff, lovely stay.

スタッフもフレンドリー、施設も充実しており快適な滞在でした。 GW価格はかなりの費用になるのが悩ましいです。

Wakka was perfect - I wish we could have stayed longer. The staff was so kind & helpful, the room was cozy & very comfortable, the location was great, and the food was delicious. I cannot think of anything to be done better; it was truly a fantastic stay!

It was amazing! The room was stunning - we chose the room with private bathroom and kitchen and had amazing views of the water and the bridge. Staff very attentive and helpful. We booked the deliver and rental service which is extra, they provide luggage transfer from when you arrive to the accommodation and drop off when you leave. Very handy! Also provide a number to call if you need any assistance whilst your on your bike ride. Can’t recommend this place enough.

We had one of the tents, which was very comfortable and unique. Excellent staff, and the dinner served outside our tent on a private BBQ was incredible. Also the best breakfast we had in Japan. We rode from Onomichi almost all the way to Imabari, then turned around and rode to Wakka, getting there by 4 pm (good decision because it started to sprinkle rain.) We did not need to use the shared shower because of the (included) entry to the nearby onsen which was full of only local families, so a truly authentic experience. And getting up at night to use the bathroom nearby was actually not a problem either.

Room was incredible- what a view! The only room with availability for our date during the Shimanmi Kaido was the residence so we decided to take the plunge even though it was a bit on the pricier side. On arriving it felt very luxurious and definitely worth the cost! There was also a (very quiet) washing machine in the room which was handy to do a quick wash during the trip/cycling clothes!). We didn’t do the BBQ on the terrace as we weren’t emailed about it but we definitely wish we had as it looked great!

Wakka came highly recommended by every resource in my research for my first trip to ride the Shimanami Kaido, and my experience showed why. While pricey, service was excellent, the room was amazing, and the location was wonderful. There were some minor issues though that detracted from a perfect rating. Throughout my stay the staff were unfailingly polite and helpful. Check-in was extremely smooth, with a welcome drink, and a staff member personally showing me to my glamping tent and explaining everything about the hotel amenities. The tent was awesome with two very comfy beds, strong AC, and plenty of room to stretch out especially for a solo cyclist. A big problem was the cantankerous door lock that would often not detect the keycard. One time it took me more than five minutes of repeated attempts to get in and I almost stormed to the front desk in anger. Another issue with the tent that’s shared by all other accommodations at Wakka is the need to use a common bathroom and toilet area instead of having your own. Also disappointing was the included breakfast. While tasty, you only get one set plate and it’s a fairly small serving if you’re a veteran cyclist who’s used to chowing down before burning tons of calories on a ride. At least dinner is no problem if you like seafood since there’s an excellent restaurant right across the road from Wakka. While there were niggles, the overall experience at Wakka is still great. It's worth visiting at least once.

Stayed for one night in the tent and it was worth the splurge. The tent comes with two comfortable beds and a small sitting area, plus an outdoor area which was where we had our BBQ. Note that the tent has no toilet or shower and we had to use the common one which was a short walk away

There was no bath in my room. They sent me a very expensive restaurant for dinner.

Environmentally friendly. We really enjoyed staying there

We hebben hier in de luxe tent geslapen, de bbq is een echte aanrader. Prima service, goed uitgeruste tent met goede bedden en airco. Ontbijt is super en goede vriendelijke service.

I can’t say enough how much I appreciated the staff and this wonderful place. Service was top notch. Breakfast was incredible. For anyone cycling lol

Excellent, top recommendation! Exceptional breakfast and very well trained and cordial staff. We will definitely come back! Very responsive to our questions in social media! Magnificent views and unique and modern rooms!

This place is awesome. I wish we had stayed longer. We stopped here for the night because it is the half way point for the Shimanami Kaido bike route. The residence was an independent structure with a large window looking out to the sea and the bridge. Sunrise was gorgeous. The unit has a beautiful bathroom, very nice bedroom and new clean kitchen. Everything about the residence was top-notch, including the amenities. The breakfast and dinner that we chose were amazing. Loved this place.

レジデンスを利用しました。アウトドア用のチェアとテーブルで海を眺めながらいただいたビールが素敵でした。ケータリングスタイルの夕食もおいしかったです。欲を言えば部屋の段差が多かったのとテレビがあったらよかったな、と思いました。

海に近いこともあって、夕食の魚料理はとても美味しかった。朝食も手作り感があって美味しかった。ロッジ前が瀬戸内の静かな海なので気持ちが落ち着く。
