Hotel Ofutei — Restaurant in Fukuyama

A little out of the way, but well worth the excursion to this seaside town on the Inland Seto Sea. The Hotel boasts wonderful sea views from even the most modest room. The views alone makes the heart sing!||||Staff were extremely professional and accommodating, with good English skills. Check-in and check-out were no problem. My room was a Western style twin bed room, with ample space. The bathroom was fully kitted out with everything you needed. A yukata and slippers were provided, so you can just unwind and relax.||||I opted for the full board with dinner and breakfast. Both meals offered many courses deliciously prepared and served in the restaurant. Restaurant and kitchen staff were impeccable. Picked up reasonably priced souvenirs in the hotel shop. Roof top onsen was just a gorgeous experience, open to the stars at night with a view over the ocean to the twinkling lights of the town. Sublime!||||The town of Tomonoura is just a 10 mins walk away, and there is much to see around this sleepy, traditional town, including the old-style housing and harbour. It all makes this a totally relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of city tourism. It's other claim to fame was that one of the Wolverine movies was filmed here (look out for the Hugh Jackman rose), and Ponyo the anime was set in this location.||||The hotel provides a free shuttle bus to Fukuyama station, where the shinkansen stops. So make sure when you book to also ask about booking the shuttle bus. It is a scenic 30 minutes drive from Fukuyama. Other options include the public bus from the station at around Y550.||||Highly recommend the Hotel Ofutei for your stay...

We had a very nice stay at this hotel. From the checking in to checking out, service were very professional, friendly and helpful. Upon arrival by driving car, we were greeted and escorted to car park space. The hotel staff same to our car to greet and helped taking all the bags. Then we were escorted lobby lounge sofa for checking in with welcome drink. We were escorted again to our room by a staff and she brewed a cup of Japanese tea and told us to arrange suitable size of Yukata (a Japanese style in room wear) for each of us. Our room was corner room could have 270 degree view. Very clean room. Both dinner and breakfast were served a restaurant with open kitchen. Very clean. Dinner was served one dish by one dish. Very beautiful presentation and tasty. Also they provided written menu for each of us so we could know what we were having each dish. For breakfast, we had choice of Japanese style and Western style. They will ask the choice of breakfast at the time of check in on the first day. Public bath were big enough and clean. We wish to go back this hotel for our next trip...
