Onsen was very nice.Complimentry beer in room fridge was a treat.

There is a great little bar next door. The hotel should really tell guests as there's not much to do after a walk on the foreshore and a meal/

Great location on the cycle trail. Staff were friendly and helpful. Onsen is spacious and clean and rooms were very large by Japanese standards.

Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer than one night!

Possibly the best hotel we've ever stayed at, in any country. The beautiful mix of traditional Japanese building and setting with modern facilities was perfect. Staff were so welcoming and friendly, our room was stunning, beds (futons) were beyond comfortable and the complementary mini-bar and bath houses were the icing on the cake. It's closer to staying in a spa retreat than a hotel. It was slightly over our budget but we had limited options while riding the Shiminami Kaido, however, we are so glad we spent the extra money and stayed here. Thank you, yubune, for an absolutely wonderful experience.

We enjoyed it all!

Beautiful and serene accommodation with added benefit of quiet shared lounge and bath house. Pj’s and toiletries provided. Convenient location to cafe and restaurants and bike hire. Great stopover if riding Shimanami or just an overnight stay.

I wasn't expecting much, but Setoda and Yubune Hotel surpassed my expectation. Design wise very sophisticated, comfortable and spacious for Japan standard. The common area on the 2nd floor was beautiful, and most importantly The Sentō! 10/10, definitely the main highlight of this hotel, you get to relax in hot water after a long day of exploring the island!

A little difficult to get to but a good stopping point if you’re doing the shimanami kaido via bicycle ride.

Amazing rooms, very well designed and beautiful aesthetically. I definitely want to come back, this was our nicest hotel of the whole trip.

I love everything about Yubune

Yubune staff were excellent. They went the extra mile in providing us with our every needs. Especially going out of the way in sourcing and providing us with extra heaters when we were feeling cold the night we checked in. The room we stayed in was very clean and spacious for my family of three. I will definitely come back here when I am in Ikuchi island.

Nothing, except they don’t have creamer and sugar for your coffee!!

Beautiful room with complementary drinks, linen pajamas, on-site onsen which I didn’t have a chance to use. Breakfast is excellent and very healthy. We very much enjoyed our stay.

We had a very comfortable and spacious room with a much appreciated Japanese style. The room was quiet with good beds. The onsen was very modern, tastefully decorated and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is well located right on the Shimanami Kaido cycling route. The included breakfast at a nearby restaurant was delicious!

Excellent property in a small, quaint but upscale area. The room had a Japanese style in appearance but had western comforts (a western style and sized bed, a table you could sit at, etc). Out of the four weeks we stayed in Japan this was one of the best properties we stayed at (we were a couple with a three year old). We highly recommend this property.

Traditional style Japanese rooms. Managed to be both opulent and zen like at the same time.

We were greeted warmly by the staff and we felt very welcome. The style of the rooms were very nice and it was very clean and tidy. We especially liked the coffee, and the other local drinks, which were provided. There was a speaker next to the bed and the wifi was very fast. We particularly liked the beds, which were quite big (bigger than we are used to in Japan). We were sad we could only stay for one night but its a great stop when you are cycling the Shimanami Kaido!

This is one of the loveliest hotels I’ve stayed in. I didn’t want to leave. The photos really don’t do it justice. The baths are just beautiful. The staff are so helpful. I would love to return one day.

Perfect. We traveled around Japan for 1 month, multiples hotels/ryokans, and yubune was by far the best of all. Amenities, staff, the onsen, breakfast, everything was perfect.

The extra futon bed was a little thin and uncomfortable, but after a full day riding in the heat, my son slept well anyway! It was also his first futon experience, so was just not used to it.

Yubune is in a fantastic location, right near the waterfront, and close to great cafes. It was the perfect stop for us overnight whilst rising the Shimanami Kaido. Beautiful building, lovely modern Japanese decor, large room that stored our three bikes easily. Hotel staff were lovely and helpful, and the breakfast included at a local restaurant was excellent quality! would definitely stay here again, and next time try the onsen.

our one-night stay at yubune was wonderful and we wished we had time to stay even longer! the room was beautiful & very serene, the beds were very comfortable and the staff was very friendly and helpful. we loved the onsen space, and how centrally located the hotel was in town. we stopped here while cycling the shimanami kaido and had a very relaxing time.
