The new facility is clean and stylish! The food was delicious and the open-air bath was great! There is no TV to enjoy the scenery, but there is Wi-Fi! The staff are also kind and helpful! The curry for dinner is filling, but once you start eating it, it's delicious! Please try it once. This is a recommended inn!

The moment I opened the door to the guest room, the Seto Inland Sea spread out all over me and I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" How wonderful! There is a radio in the room but no TV. I sat on the sofa and relaxed, looking out at the sea. I was able to borrow board games and playing cards, and it was a lot of fun to play the ``game of life'' for the first time in a while. The hot springs were a bit salty and made my skin smooth. I had a truly luxurious time enjoying free drinks in the lounge, gazing at the starry sky from the reclining sofa in the garden, and relaxing in the footbath.Next time I will come to Hiroshima not for sightseeing purposes but to stay at Etajimaso.Thank you very much for letting us spend a wonderful time with you.

Visited for lunch.It was a 2,500 yen lunch, but I was satisfied.However, the fried oysters ranged from raw to burnt. I thought it would be better to take them out in the order they were put in the oil.The rice was fish rice. My companion had the octopus rice last time, and the taste seemed to change no matter how many times he ate it.You can get refills of the rice and miso soup, so you won't feel like you're missing something.

Perfect for a quiet getaway, easily accessible from Hiroshima by ferry. Upon arrival you are guided to a sofa and served tea and biscuits while a receptionist brings you the check in documentation. The staff are friendly, and while they speak little English they use translation devices effectively. The rooms are clean and beautiful, reminiscent of Ryokans with their tatami mats, but augmented by a beautiful view of the bay and island. Equally, the onsen is clean and the beach less than 20m from the door. There are not many activities within walking distance but the hotel does provide bike rentals. The food was slightly expensive and (unsurprisingly) very seafood centric. If seafood is not your thing, there are several restaurants in the village a 10-15min walk away.

I visited on a one night trip.Both the hotel and the room were very clean and comfortable. I was able to relax by enjoying the aroma and looking out at the ocean from my room.I felt like time was passing slowly and was healed both physically and mentally.The French dinner was very delicious, and the wine and sake that the sommelier paired with each dish was perfect for the food, and we enjoyed everything from amuse to dessert.Unfortunately, I couldn't eat the curry dinner I was looking forward to because my stomach was so full.The staff at the front desk, hot springs, restaurant, etc. were very helpful and made a great memory of my trip.
