Great hotel
On bike 4pute through the islands, wonderful sanctuary. Staff were particularly helpful and helped find a missing piece of jewellery and send it to me once I had left. Musa especially was wonderful!
WAKKA was easily one of the best stays of our trip and exceeded our expectations in every way. The cycling support is outstanding. Having our luggage transferred ahead and our bikes waiting for us at Onomichi Station made the entire Shimanami Kaido experience completely stress-free. The bikes were excellent, comfortable, well-maintained, and a pleasure to ride for the whole route. The Residence itself was fantastic. Spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable after a long day on the bike. One feature that deserves special mention is the washer-dryer. It might sound like a small thing, but during a multi-day cycling trip, being able to wash and dry our clothes overnight was an absolute luxury and one of the most appreciated amenities of our entire journey. The hospitality was exceptional. The staff were warm, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about helping guests enjoy the region. As a lovely bonus, they even provided us with complimentary tickets to the onsen next door, which was the perfect way to relax after a day of cycling. What makes WAKKA special is that they’ve thought of everything. From the cycling logistics to the accommodation and little touches that make guests feel cared for, everything is designed to make your trip effortless and memorable. If we ever cycle the Shimanami Kaido again, there is no question where we’ll stay. WAKKA isn’t just accommodation, it’s part of what made the trip unforgettable. Note: We met a really cute cat in the property. She is completely harmless and very shy. She would never try to get into the room if you worry about that. She is the sweetest and she made our stay even more memorable. If you ever go to the family mart next door, she would greatly appreciate it if you get her a salmon, it would cost less than a dollar. If you are allergic etc, please don’t be put off as she won’t even approach as she is very shy

On day one two quality Specialised Vado ebikes were delivered to us at Ominichi and our bags taken to Wakka after we were familiarised with our bikes.My son got a puncture enroute but after notifying Wakka a bike mechanic arrived in 30 minutes, replaced our wheel and we were on our way. On arrival we were shown to our stylish two bedroom chalet overlooking the Seto Sea and Tatara Bridge, our base for four nights. .We had a self cooked barbecue on our deck that evening and enjoyed great breakfasts on each morning of our four day stay. Wakka is ideally located for exploring the Kamijma Islands by ferry and exploring by bike and the Tobishima Kaido islands to the west. Wakka’s advice on our plans each day was invaluable and allowed us to really enjoy the quieter islands and their beautiful roads, villages ands beaches.Advice on ferry timetables was especially useful. Bike drop off at Imabari Station at the end of our stay was quick and efficient. Thanks to the amazing team at Wakka Doug and Hamish White

The perfect sanctuary, especially when you’re riding the Shimanami Kaido as we did. We stayed at the Residence unit for one night but wished it lasted longer. It is a gorgeously designed space with various seating areas - indoor and outdoors - to enjoy a view of the sea and bridge. We were served tea upon arrival and there was a welcome plate of cheese and fruit in our fridge. The bathroom toiletries had the most relaxing spa-like scents, and the pajamas and quilted coats provided for lounging around were very chic and cozy. The kitchen was fully equipped, including a bag of ground coffee and a French press. Meals were exceedingly generous in portions, especially by Japanese standards, and everything was so delicious. We had the winter bouillabaisse for dinner. Breakfast was so plentiful that we ended up packing some of it for a picnic lunch later in the day. Service was wonderful at both the reception and at their restaurant - warm, attentive, and friendly. This was also true of their bike delivery and luggage pickup service. Their staff member who delivered our bikes was kind enough to advise us on the bus service to take at the end of our ride, even going so far as to walk us to the bus stop and directing us to the posted schedule. They have a free shuttle to the other side of the island where there is an onsen, although there is also an onsen within a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Highly, highly recommend!
