Tsuwaji Island Kid friendly Vacations

The staff were so lovely and the hotel had lots of little nice touches that made it a pleasure to stay at. Dogo onsen was next door and the hotel provided towels and yukata to take. The room was quiet and peaceful. I didn’t dine at the hotel but enjoyed the free sake bar and there were lots of options for food nearby.

This was by far the nicest room/resort we have stayed in. After being cramped in many Japanese hotels and ryokans, this was much much larger with three queen/full size beds, a 65" TV and an outdoor bath (mineral salts available in the lobby). However, please understand that as this location is very remote, dining options in the area and transportation may be limited. This may be why we didn't see any foreigners there? However, they do provide pick-up service to and from the Shin-Iwakuni station depending on the room you're staying in given you contact them at least three days in advance. Although our Shinkansen was unexpectedly delayed by two hours due to rain/lightning, they patiently waited for our arrival and did not leave us stranded. Perhaps the only downside was that we only stayed two nights as I felt we could've done with some more downtime and taking advantage of the amenities including the bikes and SUPs. I hope to return again soon, staying for a longer time next time. Thank you Marissa Resort for giving us an incredible and memorable vacation!

An excellent hotel in a convenient and great location. Views to the castle available.

Great room, meals, location; comparatively cheap

The room was modern and cosy, it was clean, you could also have you bike in your room. Two bikes would be a stretch, but one fits perfectly. The hotel is located right next to the station and the shimanami bike rental. The staff was very welcoming and nice. Coffee and Soft drinks were free as well.

Thoroughly enjoyable stay in a renovated commercial property dating back to at least the first half of1900's, if not earlier. The rooms were very tastefully decorated, which gives it a distinctive Japanese feel, but with all modern amenities. The morning breakfast made from local, seasonal ingredients was del8cious and a great experience in itself. The staff were very friendly and dedicated, and the service was outstanding. All in all, a pleasant time. Wish I could have stayed longer.

It’s a love hotel!!! It must have been grand and glorious in its days! Rooms are spacious, with seating area, large tv, closet, fridge, microwave , kettle, MASSAGE CHAIR, separate paid bar with liquor and snacks. Big powder room, separate bathroom that feels like private Onsen, with jetted tub and smaller tv, shower. Toilet is separated with bide. Big selection of toiletries and cosmetics, towels are great quality, pjs are provided. Breakfast is included. One can preorder from a menu. It’s delivered on reserved time in a private compartment by the room’s door. Soundproofing is EXCELLENT- can’t hear the street noise or neighboring rooms! Air conditioner is older, but works and it’s quiet. There’s a dehumidifier as well. Staff is discreet, almost invisible (has to be called on phone at reception to show up?). There’s elevator. Halls are spacious and bright, with grand decor. THE BAD: run down from its past glory, DIRTY, hair everywhere, suspicious stains on the bed skirt and furniture. SMOKING ROOMS! We have to open windows and run the air conditioner to compensate, as well as dehumidifier.There’s free supply of vast porn selection (censored:() on the big and small tvs. Vibrator and condoms are beside the bed. Mattress is very firm. One can decide to enjoy the huge room and all amenities and choose to ignore the bad, so can have fun and feel young and naughty…again:) Or turn around and find another hotel, with tiny and dirty rooms, but reputable, for the same price- up to you!
