This place is awesome. I wish we had stayed longer. We stopped here for the night because it is the half way point for the Shimanami Kaido bike route. The residence was an independent structure with a large window looking out to the sea and the bridge. Sunrise was gorgeous. The unit has a beautiful bathroom, very nice bedroom and new clean kitchen. Everything about the residence was top-notch, including the amenities. The breakfast and dinner that we chose were amazing. Loved this place.

After a day biking in down pouring rain, the staff greeted me with hot tea and offered to bring me a meal to my room. The tent was cozy and peaceful and the facilities were extremely clean, modern and well designed. This is one of the most special stays I’ve ever experienced and I hope to come back again. Thank you Wakka team!

Great value. Very helpful staff.

Stayed here for three nights. Excellent, helpful, polite and enthusiastic staff. Great value and great location for exploring the bike trails at own pace. I receieved lots of help over email prior to arrival to help plan the logistics of my trip. If I were to return to Shinamani Kaido, I would definitely consider staying here again.

Amazing stay in one of the cottages. The luggage service was friendly, reliable and efficient. It allowed us to cycle the Shimanami Kaido without worrying about the logistics of moving our luggage. A big thank you to all the staff at Wakka!

Wonderful as a stop along the Shimanami Kaido

I booked WAKKA as a midpoint on my bicycling trip across the Shimanami Kaido. This is a wonderful small inn of recent construction. It worked so well that I stayed an extra night and used it as a hub to bike to art sites on the island and neighboring ones. I especially enjoyed waking in the morning to a wonderful view of the ocean, bridge and neighboring island. And, the staff is very accommodating and helpful. It made for a great trip.

Highly recommended!!! Love Wakka!

Staying at Wakka is a complete delight! The infrastructure is buikt to be part of the natural environment. The staff are a delight. The bikes for rental are top quality. The half board meal is full of varieties and locally sourced ingredients. My biggest concern was the shared shower facility, but Wakka kept everything clean and spotless. It's simply a delightful place to stay in and rejuvenate. In fact, our family is planning another glamping stay with them again.

This hotel is unlike anything I have seen in Japan. It has California/Palm Springs vibes thanks to the modern open air architecture, white washed clean buildings, amazing indoor/outdoor flow, and fantastic location right on the water. We stayed in one of the private cottages which face the water and we had an unobstructed view of the bridge. Despite being about 50m back from the waters edge, our cottage had an amazing breezy and almost tropical feel. Thanks to the very cleverly laid out cottages, each cottage feels private from the next and has a direct view of the water/bridge. Instead of lining up the cottages side by side in a line, the cottages are slightly angled and offset in a diagonal row, so that there are no shared walls and each front deck is somewhat private from the next. The deck out front had racks for both of our bikes and a spacious seating area (with 2 comfortable Snow Peak camping chairs and a long bench seat) with an awning overhead for shade. We sat there all afternoon enjoying the view and opted for the bbq dinner provided by the hotel, which was DELICIOUS. Highly recommend including the dinner package, as the food was local, super fresh, and so much fun to grill on the deck while the evening sky turned colors over the water. Wonderfully attentive and friendly staff, many speak decent English, and excellent customer service. I cannot wait to go back, this place is super special.
