Jeremy is extremely nice and very helpful person. The place is amazing and huge! Countryside and landscape that surrounding house makes u feel really calm and u can easy enjoy the stay in this area. We were cooking with other roommates some pancakes and eat famous Jeremy's wafels - that was delicious! If u looking for a place like this then this is a perfect spot for u :)

Jeremy was extremely friendly and hospitable. The place was a little hard to find but when we got there the room was large and futons comfortable. I would definitely stay here again if I were to come back to Shikoku.

I had a good experience staying at the international house. Jeremy and June picked me up at the train station, gave good recommendations, and were available for any questions I might have. The place itself is clean, quiet and safe. There has been attention to detail like night lights in the hallways and slippers for warm feet. Having my own little kitchenette was great - FYI, the store is about a 20 minute walk down the road (it is about 30 minutes to the train station) I was glad for the space in which to practice my art: it was like I had my own studio in a remote part of Japan! What a treat! If you are not in a hurry, if you are looking for a little retreat time, if you want some Japan country-side without any kind of tourist feel... then definitely, this should be a destination. I would suggest taking at least 2 days for unplugging and taking rest. Thanks Jeremy!

Had an amazingly peaceful stay here - the room was spacious (with kitchenette, dinette and full bathroom), clean and comfortable with traditional charm and contemporary conveniences. The additional accessible areas (kitchen, dining room) add to the sense of openness and roominess. From a host perspective, Jeremy is a CLASS-ACT - he is extemely passionate about Kagama and takes pride in sharing tidbits about the area and what he loves about the region. He also takes the time to explain Japanese customs (for us novices, this was greatly appreciated) which enhanced the experience and made you feel like a local (if just for a brief period of time). Jeremy was also extremely responsive in his communication which made for an efficient experience. In addition, he was extremely gracious with his time, offering to drive me to and from the train station as his time and schedule allowed. I can't say enough about Jeremy as a host - he understands the value and importance of making the Airbnb experience more than just transactional; he seems very in-tune with connecting with the guest as an individual. TWO THUMBS UP!! If you are looking for a getaway in a place that is a bit off of the beaten track, and want to do so while enjoying a great host experience, don't pass up this opportunity!

We stayed one night at Jeremy's place. Both he and his colleague Chris were very friendly and helpful. The room is very comfortable with a dining area, a kitchen and a personal bathroom. I can definitely recommend!

I had a great time here! Everything was clean, and it was nice to have a place to myself considering I had been almost exclusively traveling in hostels prior to this. I lucked out and was invited to a dinner party that the workers happened to be having the night of my stay. Would highly recommend!

Our stay was pleasurable. The location of the AirBnB is secluded, but lovely. When visiting Kagawa, this place is a good place to stay the night.

Our 2 night stay at Jeremy's international house was very nice. Our room was quite spacious with a well-equipped kitchenette, dining table & chairs, a couch and private bathroom.

This is a totally remodeled tiny house, in a cluster of tiny houses not all of which have been remodeled. At first I was a little worried about the location but don't let the outside fool you. The place is completely modern, with trendy decor and cozy feel. This is exactly what you should do with a small space! Traditional Japanese bath, with shower too. Takanobu made sure we had everything we needed and gave us some tips on local things to do and see. Parking was a breeze and so was the local train station - only a couple blocks away! WiFi was great, and the kitchen was perfect. I hope we can stay here again!!

We had a beautiful place to ourselves. Everything is functioning and the space is made in a way to feel open warm and cozy. We loved our stay, unfortunately we visited in winter during a stormy weather with a lot of strong wind sound. Will revisit in better weather. The host is great with answering questions and directions. We loved the cozy house.

So stylish and comfortable! I highly recommend!

The room is stylish with great equipment. We enjoy staying in the room. Please go by a car as it is hardly accessed by public transport.

Great house! Takanobu and his staff were very helpful and attentive. We had a little trouble finding the place, but truly enjoyed the house once we did. Be sure to get clear directions when you stay here, as the map on AirBNB is inaccurate. It's well worth the trouble, though, as the house is comfortable, spacious, and clean. Great shower and tub, too! We really enjoyed the neighborhood and found the location to be fairly central to many of the sights we wanted to see (temples, castles, art, etc.). Highly recommended!

Thank you for your warmest host Takanobau. Your house is so stylist.

A stylish house with a well-equipped kitchen!

The unique construction of this beautiful house was fascinating! It is an easy walk from Mino Station & thegrocery across from the Station. The locals were super-friendly & helpful. Go enjoy Mitoyo City & all the surrounding sights!

Exactly as described. Comfortable for large parties. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful experience staying in a traditional Japanese house. Very comfortable (apart from the fact that you will need to brave the cold in winter to get to the bathroom, but then that is part of the memorable experience :) ). Its quiet but at the same time, very accessible from the highway.

Great stay with landlord, Mr. Tottori and his wife. Clean and organized vintage Japanese style house. Modernized amenity facility, such as heater, kitchen, lighting, etc. Landlord also be helpful to pickup/dropoff between takamatsu airport and guesthouse(gasoline fee required). Our family enjoy nice bonding together in this great house.

He did his best to help me to find his guesthouse and welcomed us even though we arrived his guesthouse at time of night. Everything was cool.

A traditional japanese style house. Woith beautiful garden and free parking.

Very nice experience in a traditional Japanese house in the countryside. We enjoyed the spacious house and the well equipped kitchen. The house also has a beautiful garden. The host is very caring and attentive. We would stay there again.

Thanks.

Highly recommended for a real experience of living in a Japanese home.

【Just visit & experience!!!】 (行かなきゃわからない素晴らしさ) The care by the owner is more than amazing. Without his kind preparation & wide knowledge, our trip did not go well. Talking with his friends became also good memories. If you want to find a confirtable 3rd place with delicious Udon, rice & vegitables in sourthen part of Japan. This place is definitely an option. オーナーさんのご親切に、只々驚くばかりでした。 彼の思慮深い対応なしでは、私達の旅行はこれ程素晴らしい物にはなりませんでした。 もし西日本で美味しいうどんやお米に野菜が食べられる場所をお探しの方は、是非とも二升五号へ!

Unforgettable 1 week live in country side area with the Japanese old house and perfect weather;-)That why I have visit so many place at this time e.g: 高知-高松- 琴平-兒島-德島-大步危 .House is located at 讚岐財田,have the bus from 黑川/觀音寺 6am -6pm.Sunday off. Thank you your information and always make the Jr timetable to me,sorry that I always asking you take me to train station,but i'm so appreciate for you help. But unfortunately I couldn't communicate with you by Japanese,I would like to recommend your stay who want to have special experience in Japan.Now I am in Dogo onsen,Good luck ;-) Bye

I really appreciated that you prepared a welcome party for me on 7/12. Although I couldn't go to your house at that time, I still want to say thank you!

I honestly couldn't have wished for a more wonderful host in my first solo stay in the Japanese countryside. Seijin was incredibly warm and helpful--to the point of spoiling me with his nightly research on the train and boat schedules for me to catch the following day even if he absolutely didn't have to. But I guess that was just his usual good-natured self who would go out of his way just to make a guest's stay safe and happy. Days one and two, he had to wake up very early to take me to the nearest station so I could make it to my boat going to Teshima and Ogijima. I had offered to walk to the station, which would probably take around 30 or 40 minutes, but he insisted on taking me there (which was a good thing as it rained hard on my first morning). Seijin also drove me to the onsen once and to the supermarket twice, where he very patiently waited for me to finish my shopping (couldn't help it; Japanese supermarkets were amazing!). It was easy to warm up to Seijin. And even if his English needed improvement, he tried his best to communicate well with me. He was also kind enough to try to understand my broken Japanese. Haha. I would definitely recommend Seijin's guesthouse to anyone looking for a respite from the big and bustling cities of Japan. :) Thank you so much for all your help, Seijin! I wish you the best. Jaa ne~

Seijin is such a warm and friendly host always happy willing to share his life and friends with you

The owner was really welcoming and the guesthouse was much nicer than I expected. The people in the local area were all really kind and friendly.

Seijin is a very friendly, attentive host,, who is very proud of the area he was born and keen to show guests around.. although the house is away from main shops and transport,, it was fantastic spending some time in the real countryside. Thanks for looking after me Seijin

very welcoming and nice with their guest. room, toilette and shower very clean and new. perfect location ++++++

This AirBnB on Shishi Island is unlike any I have stayed in around the world. Where to start! Whilst looking for an AirBnB in the region, I noticed one listing was out in the sea, which I thought was a mistake. Upon looking more closely, I found it was in a village on a tiny island, proclaiming to have only 19 residents. We decided to give it a go, and we will forever be grateful that we did. Shishi Island is a land that time forgot. It is a snapshot of an old Japan that is rarely if ever found on the mainland, with no cars or roads, and only narrow paths winding medievally between a cluster of houses in varying states of decay. from a peak of 1000 inhabitants fifty years ago, only 19 remain, with many often just walking out the door of their homes and leaving them for nature to reclaim, which it surely is. But the residents are fighting back, and offering reasonably comfortable accommodation with a modern bathroom and kitchen facilities. The bedroom is traditional Japanese futons and screen doors with tatami mats. This may not be for everyone, but for those who have seen all the usual places in Japan, I think this is a treasure. The residents we met were so pleased to see us there, perhaps even shocked! :) Visit the "Big Tree". There is a very good reason it is called that. :) So to sum up, despite the gradual encroachment of the plant life, there are nooks and crannies everywhere to explore, and we loved it! Highly recommended for most but not all. Access is by a 20 minute ferry ride, three times a day from a town called Takuma, and its port 'Miyanoshita'. No cars, or even roads, but you can park opposite the ferry outside the regional tourist office for free during your stay. The Mitoyo Tourism Association will help, in English, with details.

I can really reccomend this airbnb to people who want to get away from the busy part of Japan, wants to be close to nature and just realx in a japanese style house. We were very well taken care of when we arrived at the Island and during our stay we were invited on a boat trip and treated very well by shishijimas inhabitants. We bought all the food we needed for the stay before taking the ferry to the island. I think the fact that the ferry only goes three times each day and that there is no wifi plus spotty conection is what makes this place really great, you can really turn off the outside world.

The short version: this was easily the best part of our month in Japan. If you’re thinking about it, you should just go for it. It’s a magical little island that only gets about 10 foreign visitors a year! We had such a wonderful time on Shishi Island, home to 17 of the kindest, most helpful people you’ll ever meet. About half of them were waiting to meet us at the Kuzu Kuzu Cafe when we arrived. The traditional Japanese rooms are very nice, with cozy blankets and an ocean view.  We spent a lovely day wandering around the island, visiting the big tree, the scenic viewpoint, and of course the month-old baby goats. Bonus for Spanish speakers: one of the residents used to live in Mexico and speaks excellent Spanish! A few tips to make your stay a little easier… 1) the ferry comes by three times a day (message hosts for the exact times) so if you’re staying longer than a couple days you can easily go back into town for a grocery run. 2) the room has a fridge and microwave and the shared kitchen has a stove top and dishes. 3) you can wait for the ferry in the cute little cafe and everyone there will make sure you don’t miss it :)

The host canceled this reservation 14 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

If you want to see old Japan with its beautiful nature. That's the place to go ! No cars, almost nobody, Shishi Island is quiet, out of all urban noises. It was perfect for me.

The people from this small island is very nice and kind hearted. They welcomed us in the local harbor and they invited us to have coffee in Kusu Kusu, where the local people gather. Kitano gift us with food from their own harvest and made our short stay feel very warm. This is a really great place if you enjoy a quite environment and are interested to see another side of Japan. Thank you for everything people in Shishijima !

Shishi island is like no other place in the world. Sitting under the giant tree was a deep experience. Bring enough food for at least two days, there is a stove and some ustensils you can use once there. Take the ferry from (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) Takumachō Takuma Mitoyo-shi, Kagawa-ken (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) Japan. There is a ferry to the island at (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) and 16:15. Plan your way back with ferries from the Island to Takuma at 7:25, 11:30 and the last one 15:50. Hope this helps and that you can enjoy this amazing island.

shishijima is a wonderful place This house very beautiful , The host so nice and so kindly. very quiet place you will feel peace, anything slowly touch nature , touch sky ,touch your heart. 非常推薦這個美麗的志志島,島上目前只有住17個人,如果你喜歡大自然,喜歡寂寞,喜歡安靜,喜歡鄉下,喜歡貓咪,那你真的不能錯過這個好地方. 這個地方適合靜靜的品味,與自己獨處,跟自己對話。島上店家15:50就休息了,可以帶食物在Host家煮,但垃圾要自己帶走喔!以及用火要注意安全. 最後,我愛志志島。

Jeremy was a fantastic host; he kept constantly in touch, offering assistance, while I was stuck in holiday traffic towards the location, and waited well past normal check in times as well as providing clear instructions for everything. His tour of how the place works was laid back and clear. Additionally, he went above and beyond, taking his guests out to town in the morning for the region's specialty: udon. In addition to providing advice on where to go and see locally and nearby, he was pleasant to talk to and get to know, as he has a long history with the area and community. The facility is very unusual; not a home, but a second-hand small resort-ish getaway/hotel that used to be owned by the government or a private company. As it had seen its heyday in past decades and has been decommissioned, it's a bit in "fix me up" mode -- in that some of the amenities (intercoms, some of the big fancy Japanese hot tubs) are not in use -- and much of the lights and heating is kept off to save on power. The tennis court is overrun with weeds. The place doubles as an English school for children and adults, so some of the rooms have been provisioned off for the second business. HOWEVER, the place is very clean, sanitary, safe (surrounded by farms -- with a great view), spacious, quiet, and comfortable -- especially the rooms. Exactly as the photos (no photo-shopping or wide angle lenses) and description here advertise, if not better. Highly recommended for those that wish to see the Japan that is not in most tourist guides!

I was able to get good sleeping in a silent room. Could Prepare all what I need in order to stay, I thought it was grateful.

Here is close to Takasē station. It takes about 7 mins by taxi(around ¥1000). The host Jeremy is a very easygoing person. He helped me a lot: reply me very fast, and provide me useful information. Here is a beautiful countryside, very quiet.

I did not meet Jeremy during my stay but Chris. He was really nice. I felt sick during my stay and he helped me a lot, he found me a clinic open on sunday and drove me there immediately. He was very helpfull and I owe him my throat, which was hurting very bad. The house itself is very big and clean. It has an american style, so you basically have whatever you need inside. It is quite isolated from Takase and a bit lonely, however. I cannot say why, but the emptyness and largeness of the house made me feel odd. The house is located 30 min by feet from the Takase station. If you do not have any car, you are stuck because the road goes on the landfields without any shadow (and August was very sunny, so it was a hard time). Fortunately, Chris drove me to the station a couple of time.

It is a really nice place. A bit far from the station but Jeremy gave me a lift to the station. And showed me a nice udon place. It is a god place to relax and see the nature. But you might be better of if you have a car

Jeremy is very helpful and friendly host and generally a great person! The house is very big, stylish and modern! Though it has traditional Japanese rooms with tatami and futons. Perfect place to stay for travellers on Shikoku. Thank you, Jeremy!

The house is very quiet,we have a great time in there. Jeremy is very nice,and he help us a lot.If you like countryside,it's a good choice to live here!

Overall fantastic experience. Before my stay, Jeremy was very helpful with altering my reservation and very quick to respond via e-mail. He sent many helpful videos on how to get to his building and how to use various things there. The room itself was very comfortable, clean and private. The shared spaces (shower, kitchen, dining room, etc) were also very clean and spacious, and it was made very clear to me that I could use everything as I chose to. The location is good, but could be a bit difficult to get to without a car or, in my case, a bicycle. However, for one doing the 88 temple pilgrimage in Shikoku, this is a perfect location, as there are many temples in the surrounding area. I was able to meet Jeremy upon arrival, and he was a very friendly and welcoming person, and I wish I had had the chance to speak to him more. He invited me to a nabe party to be held on the second night of my stay, but unfortunately other circumstances prevented me from going--but it was still a very kind offer. I highly recommend this airbnb.

We were made to feel very welcome... its the mum who runs the B&B and she doesn't have any English, bit her daughter was very helpful in communicating everything we needed to remotely before we got there. The place is definitely very Japanese, so if you are looking for a western style hotel its not for you, simple and clean rooms, small thin futon, and one piece of advice if you're not used to sleeping this way... take your own pillow!! I had to borrow one from my daughter who lives nearby because I couldn't sleep with this traditional style very firm beanbag. That said, the place was nice, the facilities in the En Suite room were great, and the rooms all have aircon which is a MUST!! Thank you.

Akine was an exceptional host! The communication was super prompt and made it so easy for me as a foreigner to connect and enjoy my trip from start to finish and even went out of the way to help me retrieve an important lost article after my stay. The real beauty of the establishment is something to experience... Junko-san, Akine's Mom is so sweet and makes you feel like a guest of the family from the moment you arrive. She's a wonderful cook and creates a peaceful setting at the Inn perfect for relaxing, inspiration and restoring energy. This is probably why it is a popular stop for many of the Henro along the way of their pilgrimage. If you are looking for a truly authentic, traditional Japanese experience, you will not be disappointed here.

I really enjoyed my stay at Akine's place. I didn't meet her in person but her mom was very helpful and nice. I felt like I'm at home. It is a very traditional room which I liked a lot. Most importantly it has an air conditioner which believe me is very important if you travel during the summer period. The place is relatively close to the train station, about 10 minutes of walk. You can definitely stay at Akine's place if you travel to Kanonji.

We were looking for a beach town stay while traveling around Shikoku, and I chose Kanonji for location (we were coming from Chiiori, heading to Matsuyama), but I also chose this area as Akine had great reviews and we wanted a chill place to just enjoy the beach w/o too much cost/fanciness. LOVELY. We opted for the homemade dinner and breakfast which were above all expectations. We were a group, and each got a very clean comfortable room. The beach...a quick 5 min drive, was a most gorgeous beach with a hut for supplies (umbrella, snacks/beer, floaties). We felt we escaped for a day to a small town Hawaii. Sunset, endless beach with very little people, and we happened to visit when the tide was out so our kids could walk forever knee deep. We dug for crabs and a local clam. Location had a small town feel which we needed and loved for a some calm down time, and our host was above and beyond in making us feel welcome. I'm from Japan, and while Shikoku was new to me, I also know various minshuku, and I wholeheartedly recommend this home feel place for a delicious home meal and isolated beautiful beach as a nice break if you are doing busy travels.

This is a typical Japanese inn. If you are into that then this place is for you. Community bathroom on each floor and one shower for all the guests. Very traditional. I had a package sent there and the host graciously agreed to be around to receive it for me. She also offered to drive me to the Unpenji Temple, which was the reason I was in Kanonji. I was happy to accept.

This is a very nice and clean traditional local Japanese style hotel. The hotel may not be a perfect one, but I can sure to recommand to you, if you are a budget travaler and enjoy to get in touch with Kanoji local more deeply and enjoy local Japanese life style. The staff is firendly and helpful, and could be comunicated with Japanese and Chinese (one of the Japanese staff is learning Chinese personally). English speaker may be limited, but if you are prepared, it should not be a trouble at all. Highly recommend to all of the Japanese lover and budget travaler!

I cannot stress this enough: I had the most wonderful stay at Akine's! Prior to my arrival, Akine was extremely helpful in giving me directions and recommendations in English. Her mother, who runs the inn, offered me the most unexpected and unparalleled level of hospitality, offering and going out of her way to drive me to some of the temples I was visiting. She is very sweet and I loved conversing with her in a mixture of Chinese, Japanese, and English. The inn itself was perfectly clean and comfortable. I stayed in the room with a private bathroom and washing machine, and it was beyond my expectations. All of the appliances were ultra-modern, and the bed was the most comfortable of any traditional Japanese futon I have slept on. The location was great, being ideally located for those completing all or part of the henro pilgrimage, and Kanonji is a really cute town... I highly recommend this Airbnb!

A lovely traditional Japanese style hotel run by Akine and her family! Akine's mother studied Chinese twenty years ago and we enjoyed talking for a while. Her Chinese is really amazing! And Akine's mother is really kind and caring. She prepared the hot bath wath for my own use only and brought me maps introducing the city and fruits and iced tea and sweets. She even asked my Chinese address and promised me that she would send me new year's greeting card. Anyway it's really a pleasant experience and I hope I would visit here again.

What an beautiful house an what an amazing view over the ocean. We loved the warm light especially in the early morning as well as the look to the stars in the night. Right place to relax in the hammock an get your mind free from lively Tokyo.

It was a unique experience to stay in this private house. At first, we thought the villa is located a bit remotely, but once you drive up to the hill for a couple of minutes, you would certainly see how different this villa is compared to the rest of local houses in that area. Villa has a unique design with large glass windows overlooking to the sea. It is very clean and made of wood so you smell and feel the fresh wood. House is equipped with everything you will need. It has a full kitchen, so if you don't want to drive for 10-15 min to find the nearest restaurant, I recommend you to arrive to house after a decent shopping at a supermarket to cook your own dinner and breakfast. It was very fun to buy local and fresh vegetables and cooking and eating them in this house with a fantastic view. We stayed here four people with our two children (both in elementary school). They loved the house (especially the hammock) and ranked the best among the three other places we stayed during this summer vacation. We went here during mid August, so there are a number of beaches you can enjoy. The sea was quite clean (compared to other beaches nearby Tokyo). Hope we might visit here again sometimes.

The accommodation was incredibly comfortable & the view was absolutely spectacular - forever changing! We had several encounters with the local villagers & they were delightful - so helpful & kind. A rental car would be an advantage, but you can manage without one. It was such a beautiful place to return to after a day of exploring. I certainly hope that I can return one day to this incredible place. Kathryn

u can enjoy a stunning view once u wake up in the morning. The place is clean & well equipped, the kitchen has all kinds of utensils.

Takaomi-san helped me everything from the begining until we left. His service mind is the best, he helps because he would love to help you so don't hesitate to let him know is you need anything. The house is the best located in a private area, if you wanna take a deep breath, escape from the reality for a while, this place can answer your question. Panorama view was awesome, I cannot explain everything until you see by your eyes. It is such a distance to get here from the city, if you have a rental car or if you own a car would be better and don't forget to bring all food in otherwise you have to drive down there for 10-15-20mins to the closest convenience store but anyways, I recommend you guys to stay here :) you won't be dissapointed for sure.

We had a fantastic stay. Its a great modern house with a nice open plan living space which we liked. The views across the sea are stunning, very quiet location. It was a perfect peaceful retreat for us with 2 young kids. We swam at nearby beaches (absolutely no-one else around!), traveled across to the Kotohira temple (fantastic), and there is a stunning view from a nearby mountain top lookout We had our own car to get around.

This house is total perfection. If you want peace and quiet with magical views, don't look any further. It is a stunning stunning place and perfect for a couple.

We stayed in three airbnbs on our trip to Japan and this cottage was the highlight. Which is high praise as they other two were pretty good. The cottage was everything and more that we were expecting, and our expectations were quite high. The cottage was clean, well appointed, spacious for four large westerners, and had the most wonderful views. We rented a vehicle through Takaomi, which added greatly to the trip. Takaomi meet us at the station with the car and then guided us to the cottage. With the car we were able to undertake a great sightseeing trip through the Iya valley, which was utterly enchanting, and of course get to supermarkets etc easily. We will certainly be recommending the cottage to our friends and family.

It's located just 1 min walk from the train station. Owner is really friendly and helpful. Room is clean. The common area is small yet cozy. Will recommend staying here if you're visiting nearby areas / islands in the setouchi inland sea.

Pleasant stay! Delighted little place right next to the train station! Cute rooms and very clean bathroom! Although there weren't enough beds for two girls to stay together when we arrived. (we booked too late and it was spring break) But hosts and other roommates were all super friendly and chatty! So didn't feel uncomfortable at all! I shared my room with other young boys and travellers and so did my friend , but it was quiet during the nighttime. Beds were comfortable. We arrived quite late and departed too early in the morning, shame we couldn't have more time to communicate! Will visit again if we travel around there again. Thanks for having us!

We had a very nice stay. Thank you!

Seijin is a very caring host, he even wanted to pick me and my bike up with his little truck. The stay was very pleasant, we had a good evening with some food and a lot of language learning on both sides :) The house is extremely nice and has a very traditional flair to it. The area around is rural and very green and quiet. Anyone looking for a stay in the area should drop by Seijins place!

Traditional house in a beautiful country side. Peaceful surrounding. Owner is very friendly and speaks English. We had the whole house to ourselves when we were there, which was quite nice. The kitchen is large and well-equipped. In the morning, we sat outside at the backyard in the sun and enjoyed the country-side feeling. The location is quite far from the JR station Sanuki-Saida, but Seijin picked us up from the train station and dropped us to the convenience store, which is very handy. Do not forget to do some groceries before you come here. All in all, it was a wonderful experience.

A cozy, traditional home with a warm, welcome host who was incredibly helpful. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Highly recommended! Also, for those who cannot speak Japanese, our host can speak enough basic English, so you don't have to worry.

アットホームなゲストハウスなんです!地元の方も出入りしていますが、オーナーさんが気配り上手でいつの間にかみんな仲良くなれます。ただ泊まるだけではなく、アットホームで地元感があり、ひとと交流できるところに泊まりたい場合は超おすすめです!

地元の人が一緒になってもてなし頂いた事が何より嬉しかったです内装のハンドメイド感が良かったです。古民家で人の温もりを感じれて、イベントに参加出来る場所があるという事がとても良いと感じました。これからより二升五号がより一層充実するそうなので楽しみにしています!

おばあちゃん家に来たような落ち着いた雰囲気でゆっくりできました。ありがとうございました。また、是非、伺いたいと思います。

ゲストハウスは初めてでしたが、大変のんびり過ごせました。 食事と呑みも付き合って頂き、地元の方達とも交流できてとても良い思い出になりました。 うどん屋、温泉など三豊の良い所もたくさん教えて頂いたので、是非また来てみたいと思いました!

Akine and her mum were very helpful. Room was great and very nice being in a simple family guest house

Rikiya is so nice ,interesting and kind!!! To my surprise,he can even say some chinese(‵′)~ Because we are travelling by train, may not that easy to go to his place on our own,he warmly drove us to a comfotable spa and then to his place ,even though he had to catch a bus that night,thanks so much!!! Rikiya gave us a lot of travelling recommends~ His wife is also lovely and kind~She picked us up the next morning to catch the train~ Thanks again~

モンスターバッシュというフェスを二日間行くための宿として利用させていただきました。チェックイン前後にも駐車場を使わせて頂いたり、いろいろと柔軟な対応をありがとうございました。100畳のお部屋ということで、13人?程度の団体さんと相部屋でしたが僕らのグループ(3人)と合わせても全く狭さを感じないような広い部屋でした。 クーラーがないのと、シャワーが1つしかついていないということが少し懸念点ですが、お風呂は近くにあるので問題はないのかなと思いました(23時までで、残念ながら行けませんでしたが)。大人数でなにかしらの利用に使ったりするのならお手頃価格で使えていいと思いました。

広くて、大人数での簡易宿泊にはもってこいだと思います! ありがとうございました(^^)

The apartment is very clean and comfortable. It is a cozy house with nice deco and furnitures. The owner is nice and provides dining and sightseeing suggestions. Definitely a wonderful place to stay in Shikoku.

A truly special place -- wonderful to wake up to such a spectacular ocean view. We had a rental car (be forewarned about the very expensive toll roads -- about 10,000 yen each way from Osaka area!) and the local supermarket was huge and had everything we needed. We had a great visit to the Oboke gorge and the Kazurabashi bridge -- lots to do in this area -- we could have spent a week! This will hopefully be fixed soon but just in case: use the email "get directions" link instead of the one on the website, which sent us up into the mountains (at 3am no less, due to a delayed flight)! It really is very close to the ocean. And as you can see from the pictures, the design is great and really fun and interesting. The two separate levels worked out well for our situation, but as others have noted, it does separate your group somewhat if you need the room downstairs.

Thank you Takanobu, the house is a modern style and the view is very nice. My sister's family stayed one day only, they were so enjoyable . We hope to visit Takanobu again. Anyway, I have two suggestions 1) Arrange to go there in the sunlight. It is very important to find the location and keys box since there are no street light in outside. 2) Arrange to visit there, it should be more than one night, otherwise you must lost the fantastic area.

One of the best Airbnb I did! Amazing host and sooooo kind! We spent a great time together! The house is splendid! See you soon I hope!

Hi Takanobu, your house are stylish and high tech. We can see you have put a great effort on the exterior and interior design because different room have their different taste, very impressive. The house are user-friendly because you can find all you want in a house. Especially, the kitchen is wonderful. When you go to the platform, the seaview will be in the front of (URL HIDDEN) close to the nature ! We are very happy and satisfy stay in the house.

Takanobu's house is a very nice and great house. It is a very character one. Thanks for the host and it was really a great experience! Thanks.

One of the best AirBnBs I've stayed at. The units were clean, modern, and very comfortable. The unit is a 20 minute walk from the Mino Ura JR station. Or, a short taxi ride from Toyohama Station which is more likely to offer taxi pickups. There is a 24 hour Family Mart within a 10 minute walk from the unit. Here they have beer, saki, and snacks. The kitchen is well equipped and the decor is fantastic. There are great views of the mountains and the sea. It's a very relaxing place. Cell service works great, a pocket WiFi device is not expensive and works well. I don't think it was included when we stayed there but it was no problem.

Decoration and equipment in house is one of the most stylished stylished and luxury . this is exceed my expectation and money . cooking and drinking at balcony is wonderful activity and see the sunset.

Jeremy's a friendly chap, ever helpful with the needs and requests of the visiting party. The room provided for was more than decent for the price paid. The place however, was a challenge to get to considering we arrived when it was dark. After getting there the first time on foot, it shouldn't be a problem to get your bearings thereafter. Would definitely stay at Jeremy's place again given a chance! :)

I ended up in the Autumn room which I highly recommend for its spaciousness and complete facilities. Jeremy was very responsive to all my messages and super helpful. He has made short videos providing directions etc. and there are clear signs around the house for Japanese switches etc. He also has a bike you can borrow to get to the local station. The local area is quiet, but extremely charming. You will get the blessings of the countryside and rural Japan here.

Chris is a very caring and humorous host. He is quick to respond as well. For the guesthouse, it is a super big apartment with private tennis court and car park. You can get all essentials and facilities here. The bathroom is also amazingly big too. It will be a bit inconvenient if you are not driving to there. The wifi in the room is also a bit weak. But having said that, the house is already awesome as you can enjoy the spacious room, well-equipped house as well as charing with the great host.

Pleasant, bright and spacious room. We enjoyed the setting and the friendly atmosphere of the house. Common kitchen and dining room were well equipped though in need of more thorough cleaning. Bed was a single so more suited to solo travellers.

Jeremy picked us up at the train station, gave us advice on what to do, and is a great host. Recommended!

Jeremy was an awesome host! I hope you get to meet him for a chat, learn about his life and projects in the area, ask for a few recommendations on how to enjoy the arean etc. His place is very spacious and comfortable. It feels good to stay there for a few nights. It's a really good base to relax and explore the Iya Valley by car. I really recommend staying here!

Conveniently located for rent-a-car Udon tour! Easy instruction of Youtube helped a lot!

自然がいっぱいの場所でした。

Seijin was very hospitible. He took us to a very good restaurant when we arrived and helped us decipher the non-English menu. He also was kind to bring some towels for the shower even though it was getting a little late. The sleeping area is very quiet, temperate and clean. There is a lot to see in the area. We really enjoyed the hot springs closer to the train station.

Seijin was extremely accommodating and hospitable. He picked us up and dropped us up from the station while providing anything we needed. The stay is a great traditional style space, with a shared living room.

Everything are great.

We have a great time. Seijin is really helpful, thank so much!

The place is a very nice and neat traditional Japanese house. Seijin did a wonderful job in decorating and organizing this place in a very peaceful countryside in Mitoyo. I had the best sleep there. I love the living room, it was neat and elegant. And the kitchen had everything you needed there, especially drinks. Seijin was very friendly and helpful, you could be friend with him immediately. He recommended us to the best Ubon noodle restaurants in Shikoku. Thanks for his hospitality our family had a wonderful night there.

The room is very nice and traditionally Japanese :) The host Ohnishi-San is very helpful friendly and try his best to help us for anything during the stay :) he also offered us snack to us!

人数変更やチェックインの時間について相談させて頂いたところスムーズに調整が進み助かりました せっかく教えて頂いた近くの温泉は今回は時間の都合で訪問できなかったので次回は寄りたいと思います

滞在の折は非常にお世話になりました。同じに日に宿泊していた方と交流もでき非常に有意義な時間を過ごせました。
