While it was “glamping”, the people there made all the difference! Nice bbq dinner and breakfast. A shoutout to Pierre who loves what he does! In all likelihood you will bump into a wonderful person, Daisake-san, who has been with Wakka for the longest time and was literally born on the grounds of what became Wakka. He is the boat captain who takes you out sightseeing and fishing (and if you catch something, he will make sashimi for you). Wonderful stop for us on our intermediate stop across the Shimanami bike ride.

Great place to stay

Stayed for one night in the tent and it was worth the splurge. The tent comes with two comfortable beds and a small sitting area, plus an outdoor area which was where we had our BBQ. Note that the tent has no toilet or shower and we had to use the common one which was a short walk away

It was amazing! The room was stunning - we chose the room with private bathroom and kitchen and had amazing views of the water and the bridge. Staff very attentive and helpful. We booked the deliver and rental service which is extra, they provide luggage transfer from when you arrive to the accommodation and drop off when you leave. Very handy! Also provide a number to call if you need any assistance whilst your on your bike ride. Can’t recommend this place enough.

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.

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!

We had one of the tents, which was very comfortable and unique. Excellent staff, and the dinner served outside our tent on a private BBQ was incredible. Also the best breakfast we had in Japan. We rode from Onomichi almost all the way to Imabari, then turned around and rode to Wakka, getting there by 4 pm (good decision because it started to sprinkle rain.) We did not need to use the shared shower because of the (included) entry to the nearby onsen which was full of only local families, so a truly authentic experience. And getting up at night to use the bathroom nearby was actually not a problem either.

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.

Room was incredible- what a view! The only room with availability for our date during the Shimanmi Kaido was the residence so we decided to take the plunge even though it was a bit on the pricier side. On arriving it felt very luxurious and definitely worth the cost! There was also a (very quiet) washing machine in the room which was handy to do a quick wash during the trip/cycling clothes!). We didn’t do the BBQ on the terrace as we weren’t emailed about it but we definitely wish we had as it looked great!

Wakka came highly recommended by every resource in my research for my first trip to ride the Shimanami Kaido, and my experience showed why. While pricey, service was excellent, the room was amazing, and the location was wonderful. There were some minor issues though that detracted from a perfect rating. Throughout my stay the staff were unfailingly polite and helpful. Check-in was extremely smooth, with a welcome drink, and a staff member personally showing me to my glamping tent and explaining everything about the hotel amenities. The tent was awesome with two very comfy beds, strong AC, and plenty of room to stretch out especially for a solo cyclist. A big problem was the cantankerous door lock that would often not detect the keycard. One time it took me more than five minutes of repeated attempts to get in and I almost stormed to the front desk in anger. Another issue with the tent that’s shared by all other accommodations at Wakka is the need to use a common bathroom and toilet area instead of having your own. Also disappointing was the included breakfast. While tasty, you only get one set plate and it’s a fairly small serving if you’re a veteran cyclist who’s used to chowing down before burning tons of calories on a ride. At least dinner is no problem if you like seafood since there’s an excellent restaurant right across the road from Wakka. While there were niggles, the overall experience at Wakka is still great. It's worth visiting at least once.

Breathtaking view and peaceful place. Mana was incredible and even drove us to the temple and came back to collect us an hour later (which after a long bike ride was fabulous). The air conditioning worked well and the food served was tasty!

Our experience pre and during our stay was excellent. From booking our luggage and bike package to delivering our bikes, and helping us to organise dinner options, taxis, and change of last minute cycle plans when the weather turned inclement, it was all handled professionally and we felt very well looked after. To say that the staff are helpful, friendly and efficient is an understatement. They made our stay here memorable. The accommodation was well designed with great views across the water. Nice touch that they provide pyjamas, indoor and outdoor slippers and washing machine and drier facilities. Would definitely recommend.

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.

We biked to this hostel style hotel. The service was amazing. They helped us get our GoTo discounts, drove us to an ofuro, took us to a dinner spot and made us a delicious breakfast. The view is excellent. The bike services are helpful. I loved this experience.

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.
