Hotel Akamon

Good location. Staff is nice. Big room with stunning view. Clean! ( just staff can’t speak English, a bit hard to communicate)

We stayed here one night in a traditional tatami room. The staff were really lovely and friendly. We booked a room that had a private onsen bath but did not use it as it was an extra JPY4,500 (approx.) to use. We decided to use the communal baths instead and were really pleased, as they were really pleasant and the water was not too hot! The evening dinner and the breakfast were both wonderful. Both meals were traditional Japanese cooking. Every course was a fish course, which suited us fine. The room and the baths were all very clean. This is a really nice, realxing and friendly place to stay.

Located a few minutes walk from Motomachi Port (for buses around the island/ferries to & from Tokyo) and the coastline where Mount Fuji can be seen on a clear day, Akamon is also within walking distance to a supermarket and some souvenir shops. The souvenirs in the lobby are slightly cheaper than ones in the souvenir shops nearby though. There is also a small shrine on either side of the hotel. A black sand beach where you can swim/surf a 15-minute walk away. ||||Even though this place looks dated on the outside and in the halls, it is actually very clean and nice inside. The tatami room we got comfortably sleeps 4, on top of having a seating area, a fridge, an air conditioner, a tv, an ensuite toilet and a sink (You shower in the public bath). The staff set up and put away the futons for you each day. Out the windows, you can see the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other. ||||Indoor gender-separated hot spring baths are open 24 hours and the outdoor ones with a beautiful view of a small lush garden is open from 6 am to 11 pm. I would say this is the best part of the hotel, other than the insane amount of food you get at dinner where more than 10 dishes are served - mostly seafood, of course. The food is very Japanese (lots of fish, raw and cooked), so if you hate seafood, it's probably not ideal. Otherwise, it's quite good!||||There's wifi, but just in the lobby area. Buses are not frequent, but if you get a rental car, it's a short drive to the attractions around the island (we got a van for 8000 yen for 6 hours)

A very nice hotel, near the boat terminal and the center of the town. Breakfast provided is amazing. I heard the dinner is excellent, but it may be expensive. The reason for the name, Akamon, is associated with it's location near the ruin of the mansion of the tragic historical figure, Minamoto no Tametomo.

We slept one night in this Hotel. We had a room with private hotspring bath und toilet. The room was very clean and nice. From the bath you can see the Sunset, very beautiful. The Wifi workedin the room and was good. |

TV－離島へ行こう❗で紹介

とても良いお宿さんでした。 建物の全体的な印象は古さは否めないものの、清掃は行き届いており清潔感があります。 鍵を渡されてチェックイン。 私のお部屋は階段上がった二階のすぐ右手の義家。 ちなみにホテル館内は土足で大丈夫です。 お部屋内の小上がりになっているところの手前で靴を脱ぎます。 お部屋広くて清掃行き届いてます。 お部屋手前にトイレと洗面台があります。 お部屋には既にお布団が敷いてあり、大きめのテーブルの上に灰皿、お菓子、お茶などがセットされています。 お布団は重くジメッとした感じもなく快適な睡眠を約束してくれます。 お部屋には冷蔵庫、金庫、テレビなだがあり、浴衣も用意されています。 アメニティはタオル、バスタオル、歯ブラシなど。 髭剃りはお風呂にありました。 お風呂は温泉で内風呂と露天風呂があります。 内風呂は24時間いつでも入ることが出来ます。 露天風呂はチェックイン後は23時まで入れて、朝は7時から9時まで入れるようです。 お湯加減はバッチリちょうどいい感じでした。 内風呂、露天風呂ともに温度は同じくらいでした。 立地は元町港から歩いてすぐ。 近隣には飲食店、スーパー、鮮魚店、お土産屋さんなどがあり、いずれも徒歩すぐ。 なかなかの好立地です。 駐車場も広くて停めやすいです。 自宅からバイクを大型客船に載せて行きましたが、駐車スペースは車と同じになります。 ホテルのご主人、とても温かみのあるお方で優しいです。 ホテルの仕事大変でしょうが、いつまでもお元気でいて欲しいです。 余談になりますが、ホテルには猫ちゃんがいます。 白い子は逃げますが、三毛猫ちゃんは触らせてくれます。 温泉も完備されてますし、元町港のホテルではおすすめです！

2024.5.4 一泊しました。建物が古いですが掃除されておりスタッフの方々も感じ良いです。 次の日に泊まった大島温泉ホテルに比べると値段の割に料理がたくさんでてきてお腹いっぱいでした。 裏の祠あたりにタイワンリスがいるし猫もいます。 youtube → ムンク　アウトドアが気になるインドア40代
