KAMENOI HOTEL AKO ★★★★

"just book it it’s great"

Toyoko Inn Banshu Ako Ekimae ★★★

"Not bad at all! Friendly front desk service, three coin washing machines and three dryers."

Ginpaso ★★★★

"The best place to stay when traveling to Ako. There is a free shuttle bus to Banshu Ako Station. The breakfast and dinner are very rich. There is a seaside trail outside the hotel. You can walk along the beach. There are many people fishing along the way. The scenery is excellent. It is worth recommending!"

Shiosai　Kirara Shokichi ★★★

"The hotel lobby and rooms all face the sea, and the adjacent Iwatsuhime Shrine offers unparalleled sunset views, being one of Japan's "100 Best Sunset Spots." Sea views are also enjoyed while soaking in the outdoor hot springs. The hotel staff provides excellent service, and the traditional Japanese breakfast is very authentic. The only regret was not having booked dinner in advance; we had to walk quite a distance to find one, as there aren't many restaurants open in the vicinity in the evenings."

Kariya Ryokan Q ★★★

"The inn is conveniently located about an 8-minute walk from Banshu Ako Station, and we were given a thorough tour of the inn, making for a very pleasant stay. There is also a courtyard within the inn, and drinking coffee while looking out at the garden is fantastic. I would definitely stay at this inn again if I had the opportunity."

Hotel Yamachou ★★★

"I couldn't go due to heavy snow, but they were inflexible. I asked for another date, but they wouldn't let me cancel for free."

Ako Park Hotel ★★★

"It was a nice room."

Dot Glamping Ako ★★★★

Donkairo ★★★

"I stumbled upon this hotel by chance. Firstly, I love the Seto Inland Sea, and then I was drawn in by its creative cuisine and the vibrant, energetic name, "Tunkairo" (meaning "Sea-Swallowing Pavilion"). The hotel is built on a cliff overlooking the sea, with two baths: one indoors surrounded by massive rocks, and the other a completely open-air bath. The day I checked in was chilly and I was huddled up. The women's bath was outdoors, and after a thorough shower, I entered the bath and immediately felt relaxed. Although I'm very sensitive to heat, a breath of fresh air and a glance at the swirling snowflakes made me soak for an extra fifteen minutes! The food seemed to be made with seasonal ingredients; since oysters are in season, there were two dishes with large, plump oysters for dinner, which was very satisfying. Other appetizers, such as sashimi, grilled fish, and seafood rice, were decent. Overall, it's a very cost-effective hot spring hotel. Oh, and they also offer a shuttle service from the station."
