Book a Kanonji Resort

"What a dream location and hotel (I almost don't want to share this review because it will be impossible to get a room in the future!) Nestled in the midst of a park above the town, with unbeatable views and 5-star service, this renovated hotel feels like a hip retreat experience. Getting up the steep hill requires a taxi ride or a car, but once you are there you pretty much won't want to move. First, because you are within a park where you can walk to an observatory or an art museum. Then because both the cafe and rooftop bar offer incredible drinks/views, the restaurant serves the most authentic Japanese breakfast we had anywhere, and the loungewear and onsen just encourage relaxation. We felt like we were in a ryokan in a combo of Brooklyn,NY and the Berkshires, MA in the US! Because we were there peak cherry-blossom season the views were even more gorgeous- but this spot is divine and the spacious, luminous rooms allow you to really enjoy every little bit. Stay at least 2-3 nights so you can explore the area and town as well- and be sure to reserve for dinner or breakfast before you arrive- the chef needs advance notice to create their visually stunning, delicate menu items."

"Very accommodating staff. We were able to check out and store our luggage with front desk while we biked the Shimanami Trail. Excellent breakfast buffet - great way to start a day of biking."

"An amazing hotel. The staff was very helpful and there was free access to the onsen nearby. Laundry machine access was free as well. The rooms were very spacious and had very functional furniture."
