    This was a highlight of our time in Japan. We planned to ride the Shimanami Kaido bike route from Imabari to Onomichi. Our hosts were so welcoming and accommodating similar to an Airbnb. They offered to drop us at the bus stop the morning of our...

    From the moment we arrived we felt very welcomed by Yuji and Junko. They picked us up from the ferry. The house we stayed at was comfortabel and clean. The breakfast was really nice. Renting (big😃) bikes was a piece of cake with the help from...

    We stayed 2 nights at the property, and would highly recommend it. Yuji and Yunko were very hospitable. They picked us up at the ferry and at the bus stop after the bike trip. They helped us with the bike rentals. We even shared a beer in the...

    サイクリングしまなみに参加する前日に宿泊しました。向島スタートだったため尾道だと渡船に乗らなければいけませんが、ここだと自転車自走で15分ほどでスタート地点の向島運動公園に到着。ロケーション抜群です。 設備も非常に清潔で経営されているご夫婦のおもてなしが手厚く快適に過ごすことができました。徒歩で行けるスーパーや居酒屋もあるので夕食もバッチリです。 1日1組限定のエアビータイプで、しまなみを走るライダーさん、特にカップルなど2名向けにおすすめです。また利用したいと思います。

    We hebben erg genoten van ons verblijf bij Island Country Inn! Yuji, Junko en hun dochter zijn erg gastvrije, attente en geïnteresseerde mensen waarbij je je direct op je je gemak voelt. De B&B is net prachtig gerenoveerd en de kamer was van alle...

    Ongelooflijk vriendelijk en verwelkomende gastheer en gastvrouw. Yuuji en Junko gaven ons zelfs een lift van en naar de ferry en kwamen ons ophalen na de lange busrit op weg terug van de Shimanami Kaido.
