"Pros: Really nice staff. The chef (and owner?) went above and beyond and arranged a massage for my mother who suffered from back pain. Super nice of him. Super clean and comfortable Good value dinner (5 small course for ~ ¥2000) Steps from the beach, Very close to the sento/pool and the bridge Tips: the sento is simple but feels amazing after a day on the bike. Lovely little bakery in the center of town. Cons: Even if it's modern and super clean, it stills feels like you're sleeping in a giant dorm. You'll hear people in the pods next to you (snoring, comings and goings, curtains opening etc) I'm handy with technology, but I grew tired of having to unlock the dorm door by scanning a QR code and entering a code every time." ~Eddy

"Pros: We rode the first half of the Shimanami Kaido before staying at Wakka. The stay here definitely made our trip more enjoyable! The staff was incredibly kind and their attention to detail was something we haven't seen at any other hotels. The general area is beautiful with excellent views of the other islands and the sea. The breakfast must have been one of the best breakfast experiences we've ever had. The variation in the food was great and each one was an absolute delight." ~Matthijs
