Absolute waterfront over quiet fishing port. Accommodation next door to large temple complex with morning and afternoon ceremonies including female dancers. Great walks from front door to lighthouse and through mountains. Host drove me to and from airport and to train station for a trip to Adachi. Overall best place I stayed after travelling one month solo. Dinner was spectacular. Bill Evans in the background, wonderful seafood, wonderful view. A really peaceful place where you could do as much as you like or not.

Three nights not enough to completely wind down.

We stayed. In the annex of the hotel. It was very comfortable. The staff are very hospitable and friendly, with attention to detail. Staying at Fukumakan is an experience of the best of traditional hospitality in a seaside village. We had half board (breakfast and dinner), which was traditional and plentiful. We love seafood, so dinners were perfect for us. We appreciated that dinners were different on each night. Pick-up and drop-off at Sakaiminato station was also appreciated, as was information about the festival, which we were lucky enough to be present for.

Nothing. We loved our stay.

The staff are incredibly kind and accommodating. The accommodation itself was absolutely beautiful; because I am traveling with my pet, I was in the Annex, which exceeded my wildest dreams in terms of comfort and privacy. The town is a small seaside area in a quiet bay, with a gorgeous Shinto temple and absolutely beautiful historic area. I can't wait to come back once I'm better at Japanese, I suspect there's much more to be discovered in this area! Oooh, and oh my god, the food! I went for the half board, and was absolutely blown away by the variety, quality, and presentation of my meals. I am so grateful for my time here.

Everything was incredible.

The view from the room was stunning. It Made for a perfect place to really experience this beautiful part of Japan and try the local seafood. I was also impressed by how English friendly it was for a more off the beaten path location. I got to go out on a boat dropping some fishermen off to an island which made for a highlight of my trip thanks to the owner of Fukumakan.

Nothing.

A real discovery: Mihonoseki is a special place, a fishermen's village away from everything and still quite convenient to reach. I stayed at one of the Fukumakan annex houses. A beautiful old Japanese house, perfectly maintained with all conforts one might need. Lovely views of the port from the first floor. Breakfast and dinner are also a special treat in Japanese fish cuisine. Highly recommended

Mihonoseki is authentic Japan, and the owner and hotel are very much part of this town. We stayed in an annex which is one of the houses three minutes walk to hotel. Large house easily fits four, well equipped. Breakfast and dinner both fantastic. It’s a bit out of the way and would best suit people with a car, but a perfect place to base ourselves for a few nights.

Everyone at the hotel was lovely and looked after us very well. Lots of seafood for dinner and also breakfast, and both were generous. Our room had a sitting area and a great view of the harbour. In addition to our private bathroom, there was an onset style bath, which you can use privately with your partner.

Clean and spacious beautiful sea-view room with balcony, great shower with brand new bathroom, nice and friend staff, free private parking, excellent crab dinner, super value, will come back again.

Comfortable lodging and a kind master in a town with character. Nearby Sakaiminato gives the undeniable impression of being a "common local fishing port", unfortunately. However, this town has a very nice and comfortable atmosphere. Mihonoseki is only a 20-minute drive from Sakaiminato. Mihonoseki offers a more memorable stay. Rooms on the ocean side have a direct view of Mt. Daisen. The view of the port and Mt. Daisen is Insta-ready. The facilities at Fukuma-kan are a little old, but the cleanliness is not a problem.

We got a beautiful and newly renovated old house in this charming village. Breakfast is good. A bottle of hood sake as welcome gift was most appreciated. The house has a view on the harbour on both levels. There is a sound system and a selection of Jazz CD’s to play. We got shuttle service to the train station.

Nothing that makes it less than a 10.
