Suminoe Ryokan

The Ryokan has an excellent location at the seaside with many good restaurants near by. Japanese breakfast was delicious and there was a beautiful inner garden . It is conveniently located right by the bike path connecting to the Shimanami Kaido and a short walk from the Ferry / Cycle boat to Onomichi. The hosts were very friendly and went above and beyond to help me with luggage shipping . The hotel facilitates luggage transportation between hotels and the Ryokan is affiliated with Sagawa luggage services, which is very convenient in case you want to bike luggage free. It is an old building but very clean and there is quite a bit of charm with an Old Japan feeling . Highly recommend !

Beautiful 100 year old ryokan with a nice garden and a simple but nice onsen. The staff kindly got larger yukatas for my wife and me and they were very classy looking. Beautiful setting right by the water. Convenient to restaurants and shops.

Unique experience. Made to feel very welcome with detailed walkthrough of history and services. Excellent Japanese experience. Onsen was wonderful. Highly recommended. Also, excellent coffee and food at restaurant next door!

The staff were incredibly considerate and helpful. The rooms had everything I needed, and the breakfast was both well-balanced and delicious.

Charming, well appointed ryokan. The interior courtyard housed a serene Japanese garden. Shower and onsen bath are shared but there was a private toilet in our room. The hostess was extremely gracious and gave us a tour of the shower area. Rooms came with yukatas, slippers, bottled water, and individual lemon cakes for all guests. The only caveat is that the buckwheat pillows were small and flat. Overall, one of my family's favorite accommodations during our trip to Japan.
