We stayed at Wakka for one night during our Shimanami Kaido Cycle. We booked a 4 bed dorm for 2 couples which it slept comfortably. We loved our stay here and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever felt so welcomed to any hotel. The staff here were so accommodating when we arrived from our cycle, absolutely soaking - hot tea and towels ready as well as the offer to give us warm coats. In the evening, we were driven to a local restaurant by the hotel owner and picked up afterwards. Furthermore, Wakka offered us support before we had even arrived, giving us great advice as to how to travel from Hiroshima via Bus. They also sent a quick text to check we were ion our way. During our cycle, a member of the group had a puncture and Wakka drove down to meet us to help fix the issue. A MUST STAY if you are travelling the Shimanami Kaido. I could continue to write gushing compliments and it still wouldn’t do this place justice.
