Guest House Gamigami Onomichi

Review by hotel critic

During our recent holiday at Guest House Gamigami, we experienced the perfect blend of warmth and tranquility, all set against a breathtaking seaside backdrop. With its attention to detail—from the sparkling clean shared facilities to the cozy atmosphere of our Japanese-style room offering stunning sea views—it truly felt like a home away from home. The hospitable host, who greeted us with open arms, made our stay even more memorable by organizing bike rentals and providing transportation to the nearby ferry when we departed, showcasing the personal touch that made our experience so delightful. Set in a calm neighborhood, we found joy in the sound of waves lapping against the shore at night and the chirping of birds at dawn, with ample opportunities for cycling along the picturesque Shimanami Kaido. Each morning began with an American breakfast that filled us with energy for our adventures, and we yearn to return soon—perhaps to explore more of the area’s charm during the summer while soaking in the sea.
