Top Kiro San Observatory Hotel Reviews

yubune

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely small hotel with a calm zen vibe. Very clean room with modern Japanese styling. Loved the free goodies in the mini fridge and the Bose speaker! Staff were helpful in answering questions, even if our ability to communicate was limited ;)"

Yu-Rah

10/10 Excellent

"This villa was hands down the best accommodation of our entire Japan trip. If you are traveling the Shimanami Kaido, do yourself a favor and book this absolute perfection of a stay. Here is why it stands out: • Phenomenal island views: The landscape from the property is stunning, and you can take a bath while soaking in the incredible scenery. • Fully stocked kitchen: The amazing kitchen comes completely equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. • Premium convenience: They provide breakfast supplies that were exactly what we needed, plus wine and champagne available on-site for purchase. • Ultimate tranquility: Every single detail was thoughtfully designed for a peaceful, flawless stay. • Pro-tip on location: Keep in mind that shops are not right next door—it is about a 20-minute bike ride to get to them, so plan accordingly. Our only massive regret was staying for just a single night. We wished we had booked it for a few days to fully soak it all in. Do not make our mistake—stay longer!"
