Onomichi Daiichi Hotel

Japanese breakfast was lovely. Great location for starting Shimanami Kaido. 5 mins from station. 1 min from bike hire shop. 2 mins from ferry. Luggage storage.

Room was quite small. But as expected to be honest.

Proximity to the bike rental, railway, ferry and harbour . Perfect location.

The view of the sea was quite great. We stayed there, as many others I suppose, for the Shimanami kaido, in fact after the ride, we had to ask them if they could store the bikes inside and protected and they were fully prepared! They have a garage in which store many other bikes and such! The staff always tried their best to solve our problems while we were there.

I thought I did loose a thing of mine and maybe forgot it there, I noticed it a couple of days after my checkout, so I emailed them asking if they had maybe found it.. But I never received any answer. I get that our stay was over, and they wouldn't have any other money from us since we already paid, but a simple answer with yes or no would've been sufficient.. I mean it would've been plain courtesy to answer anything.. Also when we opened the fridge we found this huge 'monster' in the wall inside it, of course it wasn't anything to be worried about as we found later it was just some fixing paste of a previous hole, but it really didn't look nice on the moment! The staff asked us if we wanted to change room but we refused as we had already unpacked suitcases and were very tired. (and also because it wasn't a real problem, once we in fact found out what it actually was)
