Sawaki Ryokan - Imabari

We stayed here one night on the Shimanami route and enjoyed our stay. The staff was very accommodating, the Japanese style rooms large, and the dinner was enormous and very delicious. Pricing is also very reasonable. We would be happy to use the Sawaki Ryokan again on the next ride.

Great place to stay. Good location in the center of this quaint little town. Nice, clean rooms. Friendly staff. No complaints. Very happy with the experience.

Very friendly and helpful staff, drove us to the local onsen. We booked the dinner which was very good, lots of seafood.

Room was gorgeous, the breakfast was breathtaking. I arrived after a cycling accidentally quite beat up, and a staff member drove my partner to a combini for food, gave me plasters and painkillers (though the hospital had dosed me up), and, in the morning, showed us the quickest way off the island (next stop was Hiroshima), then drove us to the terminal and told the lady working there where we were headed. Honestly best hotel I've ever stayed in, a genuine 10/10

Excellent and authentic ryokan. Thank you Mai-san and the rest of the team for your hospitality, this was unforgettable! Highly recommending this ryokan for anyone who is cycling Shimanami Kaido!
