Hotel Sekumiya ★★★

"Location is about 10min walk from the jr Obama station, but a big part was via the shotengai which is covered, making the walk not too bad. Stayed two nights and the single room is relatively spacious. There’s even a ucc coffee machine in room to enjoy. Hotel has an indoor n outdoor bath onsite on two different levels, personally prefer the outdoor. Breakfast over two mornings were great and wholesome, different on both days."

Wakasakajitsu ★★

"This was my third visit. I was blown away by the quality and quantity of the fugu course the first time around, and was so satisfied I returned. However, this time, the portions were significantly reduced. The sashimi was only two-thirds the size, the fried chicken had no meat, just the bits of meat attached to the bone, and the tetchiri had so little bone that it didn't really have any flavor, and the portion was tiny. The rice porridge lacked any umami. There was no greeting or farewell upon arrival. Even though they have a large public bath, can two people fit in the tub? It's not a hot spring. The rooms aren't particularly good. The only highlights were the hearty fugu dishes, typical of the region, and the all-you-can-drink craft beer in the lounge. If the fugu dishes were so shoddy, it wouldn't be worth 60,000 yen per person (including alcohol). The staff also lacked hospitality. I was stunned when they accidentally brought sparkling wine from one customer to the other at dinner. I know many inns that started out good but then gradually deteriorated in terms of food and hospitality, and this one seems to be a typical example. I won't be returning."

Hotel Urban Port ★★★

"Big rooms facing the bay. Staff was helpful even though none of them speak much English. The lady with short hair seems to be there all the time. We saw her before check in and saw her again early next morning. She's very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. Public bath is next hotel and comes with bay view too."

Business Hotel Sankai ★★

"There was a plastic garbage bag by the entrance, and it was visibly unclean. It also had a bad reputation in the neighborhood."

Hotel Hanatsubaki ★★★

"We’re a family with small kids. The room was clean, breakfast was great, my kids are impressed with a very friendly and spoke great English staff."

Tabi wo Kanaderu Hirota ★★★

"Dinner was delicious, but breakfast was also great, along with the location."

Obama Machiya Stay ★★★

"Matchiya stay was a great experience. The house was clean and cosy. We have ordered both the dinner and breakfast to be provided. Dinner was sumptuous, however it was a pity that there was no soy sauce included when we unpacked the dinner that was delivered. Otherwise, Obama was a nice city for a chillax visit."

Applaudir Hanasouju ★★★
