Dinner was wonderful, breakfast was fabulous, the view is the best we’ve had. The hike up is strenuous but not unexpected, and we could have taken a taxi or the ropeway. We loved the enthusiasm of the staff and the professionalism of the cook.

The view is simply amazing

Everything is already a bit old and the way up takes a bit. Definitely take a taxi or use the lift (stops around 5pm though) if you have large bags. The breakfast is a set menu, it would have been nice to have something vegetarian or just like a simple “coffee and toast” option as well.

The elevated views from some of the rooms and dining room are spectacular. So much to see , so much town & port activity. The accom is old but very clean so if that works for you , highly recommend. The staff were excellent.

Nothing to say here, all great,

The staff was so friendly. Getting up to the hotel is not so easy, and when they saw haw tired I was, they immediately provided me with a cup of cold water. The view is also amazing I thing there are only rooms with ocean view so your garenteed one of the best views in onomichi.

To get there it's quite a walk and it's almost impossible with a big suitcase. But the view is worth it.

The view and the staff

Stairs are hard to climb but it's worth the view

friendly staff, amazing views and retro feel.

It is at the top of a steep hill. Do the sensible thing and take a taxi.

The view is stunning and well worth the climb. Take your time and bring a bottle of water if you are not used to stairs. We arrived at sunset and it was magical. The arrival and entrance were great and I was looking forward a great stay.

Old and beat-up furniture and second-grade decoration in rooms. Lack of internet — the hostess said it was because we were in the mountain and too many folks were using it. But with no obstruction and a direct view of the city, it seemed like a lie. It's unclear why the reviews are raving about the Thai food restaurant. We were exhausted after a long day biking and a hard climb, and yet, despite a gigantic appetite, it was just tasteless ingredients smothered in goop. And please don't offer a "dessert" when it's fruits from a can. It's unclear if the cracks visible in the stairway were structural, but I did not feel reassured. The leftover glue from the ripped-off carpet was another red flag.

the view was beautiful, the staff were so friendly and chatty
