We stayed at Wakka for one night during our Shimanami Kaido Cycle. We booked a 4 bed dorm for 2 couples which it slept comfortably. We loved our stay here and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever felt so welcomed to any hotel. The staff here were so accommodating when we arrived from our cycle, absolutely soaking - hot tea and towels ready as well as the offer to give us warm coats. In the evening, we were driven to a local restaurant by the hotel owner and picked up afterwards. Furthermore, Wakka offered us support before we had even arrived, giving us great advice as to how to travel from Hiroshima via Bus. They also sent a quick text to check we were ion our way. During our cycle, a member of the group had a puncture and Wakka drove down to meet us to help fix the issue. A MUST STAY if you are travelling the Shimanami Kaido. I could continue to write gushing compliments and it still wouldn’t do this place justice.
2. Captain's choice cruise in Setouchi area (Group only)
【OUTLINE】 The captain of the boat who is familiar with the Setouchi area will make sure that you will experience the best cruise! There is no doubt that you will fully enjoy the charm of Setouchi.

3. Mukaishima Onomichi Sustainability Cycle Tour

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.

While we were sad to have to cancel our July trip to Japan due to the pandemic, we found the process of working with Japan Awaits to be easy and efficient. I can't speak to the full experience since we weren't able to go, but filling out the form and our communication with the company was no problem. And their prompt and courteous response to our request for a refund speaks to their professionalism. We will definitely come back to ask for their help in procuring tickets to the Studio Ghibli Museum when we do finally make it to Japan! Fingers crossed for next summer.
