Co-Living & Cafe SANDO — Restaurant in Imabari

My partner and I stayed in the SANDO hostel for one night during our cycling trip. We booked a dormitory style beds and we were both pleasantly surprised how great it was.

After looking at other places on the island that were of the same « level », this place was definitely...

The bathrooms and shower areas were clean and comfortable as well:) The highlight was the bar! We had just missed the closing time of the cafe, and were pleasantly surprised by it also being a bar! The drinks were good, and we tried some of the small food dishes as well! I loved the cucumber salad, and recommend trying the citrus menu items as the area grows a lot of citrus fruits!! There wasnt a lot to do in the small city at the time of our visit, but this bar...
