After a busy week exploring Japan’s major cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, my father, uncle, and I were looking for a quieter, more authentic experience—and this beautiful traditional guesthouse in Miyoshi, Shikoku, turned out to be the perfect choice. The house is a charming two-bedroom traditional Japanese home with tatami rooms that truly capture the spirit of old Japan. I’ve stayed in similar homes before and always loved their unique atmosphere, but for my father and uncle, who were visiting Japan for the first time, it was both a fascinating and fun experience. Since we’re a tall family, adapting to the lower door frames, smaller room heights, and the cozy, compact design of the house added an extra layer of adventure. It was a great way to experience firsthand how people lived in the past and to appreciate the traditions and culture behind this style of living. The house itself was very clean, cozy, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The small garden added a peaceful touch, and the kitchen made preparing meals easy whenever we didn’t feel like eating out. The owner was incredibly kind and responsive, always quick to answer our messages and provide anything we asked for. Miyoshi is a quiet town, but it has everything necessary for a convenient stay—two large supermarkets, several restaurants, and even a Lawson convenience store just around the corner. I highly recommend renting a car to explore the surrounding area, as Shikoku’s natural beauty—with its mountains, rivers, valleys, and temples—is best experienced at your own pace. In the end, what makes this house truly special is its calm atmosphere. It’s not a place filled with distractions, but rather a peaceful and comfortable space waiting to be filled with life, laughter, and meaningful memories. Whether you visit with friends or family, this guesthouse offers the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect, and experience a more authentic and heartfelt side of Japan.

Good location for us whilst walking the henro pilgrimage in Shikoku. Had everything we needed. Near a convenience store very handy for dinner.

Facility is well maintained. The owner lady is very kind and a very good cook. Her home made plum wine is so good. Her son’s dish is quite delicious as well. We could enjoy Onsen( @Kazura onsen hotel and @Hikyo no yu) with discount price. Place is located very close to Kazura bridge.

It is a stunningly beautiful traditional Japanese gentry house. It is almost impossible to find a house of that quality ((details!) for a tourist stay. It is a true Japanese experience. The decoration is pure beauty.

The accommodation is just a 1-min walk from the Kazurabashi bus station, basically next to the vine bridge and the waterall. Furthermore, the owner is very kind and can speak a bit of english. What we enjoyed most was the Nintendo Super Famicom which we could play all evening in the common room and all the facilites of the kitchen including rice cooker, plenty of jams etc. Really a great place stay 🍀.

Comfy place with very good facilities. The public bath at the top and the darts game were awesome

The location along the river, along the bus route to the gorges that we wanted to see, and proximity to a reasonable restaurant and food store were all positives

The cats are really cute, and the staff is very nice!
