Name: Onomichi Guest House Miharashi-tei

Rating: 8.7

What guests think

At Onomichi Guest House Miharashi-tei, travelers highlight breathtaking hillside views from a beautifully restored century-old home, genuinely friendly staff, and a calm, authentic atmosphere, while noting the steep climb of many steps to reach the property.

Traditional tatami-style rooms have sliding partitions; thin walls and bright mornings without blinds are common, futons may feel firm to some, and space can be limited. Despite its age, the building and shared areas are well maintained and clean. Facilities are modest with shared showers, a pleasant cafe, and a small kitchen area; on-site food is light, and nearby dining requires a walk down into town. Best for travelers seeking character and scenery over convenience.

ゲストハウスからの眺めは最高でした。大正建築の建物に宿泊できる事ができて良かったです。カフェでの朝食も雨の降る中、下から聞こえる列車の音、蝉の声などを聞きながらゆっくり過ごせました。

Authentic stay in a traditional Japanese guesthouse. We had a fantastic view over Onomichi and a comfortable and cosy room for 2 of us. There are a good amount of steps to get there but it’s worth the climb to be amongst the temples. The facilities were great, had everything we needed and clean. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and the cafe space was aesthetic with lots of books to read whilst taking in the view and we were able to sit and eat our own food there.

It's 300 steps up (via the most direct, but tedious! route), but once you understand how to make it to the villa along the alleys that spread throughout the hill, life is so much easier! From the villa, the lovely seaside town spreads before you, quietly, in a rhythm and hum that is both inviting and infectious. The landing at the top of the steps is a special place. The building itself is well maintained, looked after by a small dedicated army of staff and volunteers. The structure itself is over a hundred years old, and has been meticulously restored and brought up to date with modern but modest amenities. This isn't a luxury resort by today's standards, but it is a wonderful and comfortable place to stay, and a great place to exchange stories with visitors and locals. I stay here whenever I visit. Highly recommended.

古い建物をリノベーションしてますがお掃除が行き届いていて清潔、スタッフの対応もきちんとしていました。共有シャワーだけ、食事は外食又はカフェか自炊キッチンコーナーでとなり、部屋もスペースは限られています。こうした宿は初めてでしたが優先順位が景色と清潔感なので満足です。部屋からの景色と日の出は最高でした。景色と古い建物の味わいを経験したい方にはお勧めです。

It’s an experience like you never had before, everything is a shareable space with a lot of character and authentic Japanese vibe. Pack light to climb up the 350 steps up to the property. However we’ll worth it as the view is beyond this world and offers lots of interesting hikes around the place. Very recommended if you’re looking for something like you’ve never seen before as a westerner.

花火大会当日に利用。部屋で涼みながら窓から花火を堪能でき良い思い出作りになりました。 1階のカフェでは食べ物は軽食のみなので、どこかで買って持ち込んで飲食も可能だが、一番近くても急な階段の昇り降りがあるので事前に買っておいた方が良さそうでした。スタッフさんのサービスも満点。また利用したいと思えるスポットでした。

It was such a great experience, our first和室 style hotel. While a bit of a climb. The view and price are absolutely worth it! I wish I could spend a week in the area cycling the trails and visiting the nearby shrines. Being so far from major metropolitan areas, it felt like the Japan you heard about long ago. I def will strongly consider coming back. 😎

Location

Set high on a hillside near temples with sweeping views; reaching it involves many stairs and can be challenging with luggage. Dining and shops are downhill in town, and the area feels peaceful.

宿の方がオフィシャルで言っているように、快適さを求めるなら、他の施設の方が良いかも知れません。立地は高台の中腹、隣の話し声が聞こえる位の壁の薄さ。ただ、それ以上に、一日を通して様々な変化を見せる風景を一望できる良さ、お寺の近くなので夜の厳かな静けさがありつつ、時々、通る電車の走る音が遠く聞こえるのも、風情があって良かったです。あと、裏手の展望台に5分くらいでアクセスできてしまうので、日の出を拝みに行くのにも便利でした。田舎のちょっと不便な感じを楽しめる人、むしろ好きな人、写真が好きな人には、とても合っていると思います
