Shimanami Kaido Cycling Road Adults Only Vacations

Great view of Mastuyama Castle, lovely staff, nice restaurant downstairs. We always stay here when passing through.

This was by far the nicest room/resort we have stayed in. After being cramped in many Japanese hotels and ryokans, this was much much larger with three queen/full size beds, a 65" TV and an outdoor bath (mineral salts available in the lobby). However, please understand that as this location is very remote, dining options in the area and transportation may be limited. This may be why we didn't see any foreigners there? However, they do provide pick-up service to and from the Shin-Iwakuni station depending on the room you're staying in given you contact them at least three days in advance. Although our Shinkansen was unexpectedly delayed by two hours due to rain/lightning, they patiently waited for our arrival and did not leave us stranded. Perhaps the only downside was that we only stayed two nights as I felt we could've done with some more downtime and taking advantage of the amenities including the bikes and SUPs. I hope to return again soon, staying for a longer time next time. Thank you Marissa Resort for giving us an incredible and memorable vacation!

Heart of the Osen area and easy trolley ride to other tourist areas. Staff was very professional and helpful.

My husband and I stayed in the mane villa for one night while cycling the Shimanami Kaido. It has a beautiful, quiet location, and the villa itself is meticulously designed and well equipped. The soaker tub was wonderful after a long day of cycling and sightseeing. Perched on a hill, the property offers a beautiful sunrise over the sea and is a comfortable place to enjoy a slow morning before hitting the road again.

The cabins are really wonderful! The view is grand. We ate delicious and beautiful meals. After riding the Shimanami Kaido the onsen felt blissful!

Environmentally friendly. We really enjoyed staying there
