Imabari Kokusai Hotel

Imabari|0.51km from city centre
Very disappointed to be writing this review... Firstly, their website is dreadfully dated and their booking system puzzling, even comically so. It almost feels like using the Wayback Machine... I tried booking five or six months in advance and so I wrote to the hotel to express my excitement for both coming back to Imabari where I once lived and worked teaching English in 1999, and also that I had always wanted to stay at the hotel, as I actually lived directly across the road from the hotel and always thought it so exclusive and luxurious-looking, and it was the talk-of-the-town back in '99 when they were still very new. I was willing to pay a substantial room rate for a Tatami Suite (approx. ¥30,000 per night for three nights) however was advised that they were sold-out for my desired dates-of-stay in March 2023. What irked me is that no alternative accommodation options were offered, despite there still being availability on third-party websites such as *********** and ******* for other room types, and there was no acknowledgment of my excitement and enthusiasm for wanting to be a guest of theirs' after so many years, or for any disappointment caused. This is terrible service, and not exactly what one would call 'growing the business' to reject a potential guest despite having other rooms and suites available to sell. We instead booked ourselves a wa****su (traditional Japanese tatami room) at Hotel Kikusui Imabari down by the port, which was cute, comfortable, clean, and looks to have had recently had a refurbishment of their guestrooms as the bathrooms while small were nice and new. The cost of this room was also about a third of what the Kokusai Imabari Hotel asks for their Tatami Suites as well. I still wanted to go to the Kokusai Imabri Hotel however and at least see their gardens and lobby, pick up some Imbari towels from the official store at the front entrance, and have breakfast in their restaurant. The lobby is very nice and it does have the grandeur of a Japanese hotel trying to be a European hotel without being tacky or dated, and it does appear that they have recently cleaned all the chandeliers (I'd read other reviews and this seems to have been a first impression for a lot of guests, so this was a nice surprise to see them dust-free). We had a look at the gardens outside and they were very nice and maintained as to be expected with Japanese gardens. So why the 1 star review? Well, we wanted to treat ourselves to what we thought would be a five-star breakfast. We were told to go upstairs to the mezzanine level and we met a nice lady staff member who advised that breakfast would be roughly ¥2,400 per person. No problem, that's fair for a good buffet breakfast. We were then however lead into a huge banquet hall with only a couple of dozen guests dining, which made it feel even emptier and more like a school cafeteria rather than a classy restaurant. We then went to the buffet and it seems that none of the bain mar

Komecho Ryokan
4.1/57 Reviews
It is a long established inn, and it is like a hot spring inn. It was full of Showa retro feeling, such as the cluttered corridors, wooden stairs railings, and tiled wash basins, but it was OK at all because it was a cheap night stay. The bath is also shared 1 Every time two people enter, they lock it. The building is old, but the toilet was a washlet, and the hair dryer and pot in the room were new and clean. The walls are thin, but the guests around me seemed to be sensible, and I was able to spend quiet and comfortable at night. Imabari hand towels are also a nice service. Since it was an online reservation, I asked if I could issue a receipt, but I kindly asked him to issue it. The location is close to Imabari Port, but I walked about 10 minutes from Imabari Station in the shopping street.
Jr Clement Inn Imabari
4.5/552 Reviews
I stayed at the Kisuke Yu ticket cherry blossom breakfast plan. It is right next to JR Imabari Station and there is Lawson nearby. I can walk a little to the Yakitori shop of Imabari specialty, and the drinking street of Imabari. We arrived about 9 o'clock on Friday night, but the free parking lot was able to stop safely at the last 1. Welcome alcohol is good until 21 o'clock and free drinks can be brought into the room by 0 o'clock. Amenities can be taken freely. I don't know if the lower layer is, but when I stayed upstairs, I didn't hear the sound of the train at all. Kisuke no Yu is very comfortable with a sophisticated hot spring facility, so I recommend a plan with a hot spring ticket.
Mikado
3.9/52 Reviews
Nibukawa Onsen is a hot spring area located in Nibukawa, Tamagawa-cho, Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture. It is said to be the three hot springs of Iyo along with Dogo Onsen and Hondani Onsen. Mikado, Dutsukawa Onsen, is an inn located in Dutsukawa Onsen. I will stay here this time. On December 10, 2020, I visited Nishiyama Koryuji Temple on that day. From there, I drove to the parking lot of Mikato. It is an unpaved parking lot, but it is easy to park. Enter the entrance. The hall has a Showa retro atmosphere. I will stay in a room called Yoshino on the first floor on this day. Japanese-style room. A massage chair is attached to the room. I go to a hot spring, but the room also has a bath. The room bath is also a hot spring, which is a luxury. Outside the window is a valley. Although it is an old room, the toilet is a hot water toilet seat. I had time to dinner, so I decided to take a walk. I can see something like a promenade under the road, but it seems that it has been left unattended for a considerable period of time, so I decided to go on the road. Enter the promenade where you are going ahead. You can see the reverse arched bridge. It is called Yunohana Bridge, and it seems to be a rare shape with only 2 places nationwide. The valley is beautiful. I walked to the Fureai Bridge. Worship at Yu Shrine. I'm back at the inn. It's a long-awaited dinner. The quality of the hot springs I entered before the meal was excellent. It seems that the content of radon in the source is large. The menu of this day is an inobuta hot pot. Shirako tofu. Grilled salmon with salt. sashimi. Tempura. What a matsutake mushroom tempura. Sake is Yukijaku. Seafood carpaccio. Kamameshi. Ise shrimp. Dessert is almond tofu. Take a good rest and have breakfast. After the meal, celebrate the birthday of the treasure with the cake you received. Check out and proceeded ahead.
Wakka
4.7/518 Reviews
Conveniently located about halfway between Onomichi and Imabari along the Shimanami Kaido, WAKKA is much more than a halfway stop. Staying here is an experience you won’t forget for a while. Between us we had a cottage and a dome ‘tent’ both with views of the water & the Tatara bridge (across which we had cycled). We opted for the BBQ dinner on our deck & it was wonderful: sashimi appetiser, local seafood, vegetables & meat (amazing steak, boar sausages, chicken) as well as rice, dessert and mint tea! The hospitality here is so warm that we felt immediately welcomed. All the staff were lovely. Reika (from reception) suggested a trip to the local onsen (public bath) and provided a voucher as well as minibus shuttle (10 min way). This was a great experience and good way to relax after a day’s cycling. We enjoyed breakfast sitting on the cafe deck (great coffee) before we set off for another day of cycling. As well as cottages & dome tents, there are dormitory beds for a more economical stay. WAKKA also offers support to cyclists who aren’t staying at the hotel.
Daichoso
4.3/517 Reviews
1. Dinner and breakfast are delicious, and it will be a bit supportive. It is very pleasant to watch the sea view while eating. 2. There is free wifi, the room is very clean, the view is very good, and you can watch the sunrise. 3. You can borrow bicycles (limited number, must ride back), very close to the bicycle lane. 4. Walk about 2.2 kilometers from Bozhibin Station. Bozhibin Station is an unmanned station. There is no taxi schedule. It is recommended to call the car.
