I booked this place via Airbnb. The price is about 300-600 Australian dollar per night and depends on season. I could booked it around 300$ per night it is because not busy season.I will tell you something VERY important.YOU MUST HIRE A CAR in ONOMICHI station.There is a bus stop but even the closest bus stop is 15 minutes away from this property, you don’t want dragging your heavy suits case for 15 minutes in this rough area and if you arrived at night, of course there is NO transport except taxi all the way from ONOMICHI station which is very expensive price( one way $50 Australian $) .If you made a mistake with bus, you will be dropped on somewhere you never able to find a cab ( don’t forget, there is NO UBER !! There is no available cab or car you can pick ) so I was almost going to act like dead in a middle of the car street to catch someone to help me. There was a nice Japanese lady found two “ completely lost “ people and I could reach to this property. And the Host people did not come to assist you. You must handle everything all by yourself, so ironically this was the good starter for the new adventure!There are some cute restaurants or cafe but they often are closed and closest opened cafe was pancake shop, so you want to have sweet pancake for dinner ? But beside pancake, there is nothing but shabby juice bending machine on the road. We arrived past 16:00 and damn pan cake shop was closed, too no 7 eleven , no neighbours that I could ask help. All I had was 9 cookies and some chocolates on the first night.Airbnb host did not warn me that there is absolute nothing around here especially if you did not hire the car. Yes, if you came here without the car, this Beautiful great ocean view will be nightmare. You are stuck within 1km area.Woke up early next day and went to the car rental. But you must make a booking for the car before the night, and if it is on busy holiday season, all of rental cars are gone. If you don’t speak any Japanese, you will be stuck in here without food, this place could be the death row. If you got a car, this will be such a luxury place. Full of fun to access to everywhere . Narrow and bumpy road could make you feel like Japanese Indiana Jones :) most great thing is, There is no one but you!! No tourist, no ugly souvenir shops, no TV and when you wake up in the morning, you will see beautiful Seto ocean view in whole window….! It will take your breath away.When you go some other beach vacation, it will be filled up by expensive condos and houses but here is not poisoned by capitalism YET.Airbnb host is not around here, so I did not give good stars for the service but everything else was great IF YOU GOT A CAR. And addition, there is a BALMUDA toaster so I bought a bunch of nice toast to try it out tomorrow :) kitchen has everything but no stores at all, and there is no washing machine and dryer so this property is not designed for long stay, ideal for 2-3 nights.My review sounds too excessive but it is exactly like “ nothing or everything “ all depends on if you got a car.Like or dislike ?Yes I loved here with a car :)So never forget to get a car before you come here :)By the way, about the security, I can not say it is suitable for kids. There are several dangerous points in this house. If your kids are like little Tarzans, they would be in big accident in this house. So please make sure about especially around the stairs.

I visited on a family trip.The atmosphere was great and everyone was very excited.I think it's worth staying at this villa.The view is amazing and I would like to stay there again when I come to Hiroshima.I came by my own car, so I had no problems getting around and the nearby izakaya was delicious!

Stunning view, very modern. Perhaps a bit difficult to get to without a hire car

In front of you is the Shimanami KaidoSpectacular views of the Seto Inland SeaA villa you can have all to yourself.Anyway, the location and atmosphereI was able to spend the most extraordinary and luxurious time.The furniture, lighting, and even the plants have created a wonderful space with a good atmosphere, and I could feel the owner's good taste and attention to detail.A villa that makes you want to visit every season.Thank you for the wonderful memories.I will definitely go again!!
