A little out of the way, but well worth the excursion to this seaside town on the Inland Seto Sea. The Hotel boasts wonderful sea views from even the most modest room. The views alone makes the heart sing! Staff were extremely professional and accommodating, with good English skills. Check-in and check-out were no problem. My room was a Western style twin bed room, with ample space. The bathroom was fully kitted out with everything you needed. A yukata and slippers were provided, so you can just unwind and relax. I opted for the full board with dinner and breakfast. Both meals offered many courses deliciously prepared and served in the restaurant. Restaurant and kitchen staff were impeccable. Picked up reasonably priced souvenirs in the hotel shop. Roof top onsen was just a gorgeous experience, open to the stars at night with a view over the ocean to the twinkling lights of the town. Sublime! The town of Tomonoura is just a 10 mins walk away, and there is much to see around this sleepy, traditional town, including the old-style housing and harbour. It all makes this a totally relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of city tourism. It's other claim to fame was that one of the Wolverine movies was filmed here (look out for the Hugh Jackman rose), and Ponyo the anime was set in this location. The hotel provides a free shuttle bus to Fukuyama station, where the shinkansen stops. So make sure when you book to also ask about booking the shuttle bus. It is a scenic 30 minutes drive from Fukuyama. Other options include the public bus from the station at around Y550. Highly recommend the Hotel Ofutei for your stay in Tomonoura.

We was invited by FMC in fukuyama, the hotel was Japanese ryokan styled room with tatami matt and Japanese styled bed with warm quilt. From the window, view of splendour of seto inland sea is very impressive. On the rooftop, there is also open-air onsen with seperation for men or women but the space is limited. If you want more spaces in enjoying your onsen experience, there is also public bathhouse on the third floor with view of the sea too.

“BEST Breakfast ever”

There is 2 Onsen(hot spring)♨️one of the rooftop is for VIP. Staff was very kind and room was clean ,but I thing dishes were BEST🍳 温泉はとても清潔で、脱衣所の床もすぐ乾くようになっていました。 しかし、塩素の匂いが微かにしました。(掛け流しではないのでしょうがないですが) 朝晩のごはんがとてもおいしかったです。 朝ごはんは和食の方がわたしは好みでした。
