Spa Hotels in Fukuyama

Super friendly and attentive staff (especially Hanami, tusind tak 😁), beautiful view of Sensui Island, beautifully decorated room, great private onsen w/view. We also took advantage of the free shuttle from Fukuyama station to the hotel - very convenient.

The Hotel Ofutei was a wonderful relaxing retreat after the hectic-ness of Osaka and Nagoya. The hotel is right on the water so you can hear the waves lapping at night and the seabirds during the day. There were two western chairs in our tatami room so you could look out the picture window to your hearts content. The futons on the floor provided a sound sleep and weren't problematic even for me with my bad knee. The toilet room, sink, shower/bath room were all separate with the bath tub being deep for soaking. There was a tea service with good sencha and lots of hot water for the teapot. There was also a good-sized mini-refrigerator for bottled water and the local houmeishyu. The kaiseki breakfasts and dinners were the high point! After so many combini and ekibentos, it was a real treat to have wonderfully presented, tasty, and expertly prepared fare. Kudos to the chef! The splurge added to our sense of well-being. The service made you feel like you were well-taken care of. No struggling with luggage -- they hauled it up to the room and then later out to the shuttle service. The hotel personnel were polite, helpful and graceful -- and patient with our sputtering Japanese and fallback into English. The shuttle service took us directly to the JR Station in Fukuyama. This hotel/ryokan is a real find.
