Отель WAKKA, Имабари, Япония

Great service provided by WAKKA for cycling the Shimanami Kaido.

WAKKA is well-positioned off of the Shimanami Kaido cycling route. We started in Imabari, ending in Onomichi, which is "backward" from a lot of the recommended routes. However, this worked out great for us. Wakka was a nice place to relax after a long day of cycling.

The tent was very comfortable and the AC worked well during the hot summer weather. The shared bathroom and showers were well-appointed and clean. The laundry service also worked well. All of the staff members were very friendly, and they were easy to keep in touch with via WhatsApp during the trip.

The BBQ and breakfast were very good.

Beautiful location, super clean facilities, unique flaming-style dome tent accommodation. Yoshiumichomukuna was an amazing and welcoming host.

Beautiful location and grounds. Lovely cafe, very helpful and kind staff. Amazing amenities and little touches. Just wow.

I was expecting a reasonably nice bicycle friendly motel-like stay but Wakka was so much better! Our group of 7 stay in the geodesic tent, cottage, and residence. The tent was very comfortable with two real beds and air conditioning (all these rooms have AC), and a small private patio. The tent residence use the common bathroom. The Japanese-style cottage cottage easily slept 3, has a bathroom with shower and beautiful views of the bay and bridge. The residence was incredible, having two queen beds, a kitchen and full bath. It also has stunning views of the water.

Dinner was also way better than I expected. They served meats and veggies to grill (with vegetarian options), salad, any array of drinks, and desert. Overall this one day stop on our bike tour was probably the best place we’ve stayed in Japan!
