Holiday Rentals in Tsushima

The traditional japanese style room was small but tidy and comfortable, with a pretty view on the water. The owner is very friendly and prepares tasty meals, both breakfast and dinner are recommended.

One day, soon I hope, I'll be able to be fluent enough with my Japanese to review places like this one. Nevertheless, still not the case. :'( This place could be described with one world: fabulous. Really, totally, incredibly fabulous. When the bus left me in the middle of nowhere, when I crossed a town slowly, without population to carry out its history, when I found out that the school before the guesthouse was in fact the guesthouse (yeah, should have checked /o), I was as excited as afraid. That was for naught though. Understanding the village his population and history, helps a lot understanding the place. Without children to study in it, the school was closed around 10 years ago, and then repaired, treated with a lot of love and respect until the result you will find there: a cosy, comfortable, clean and warm place run by a bunch of adorable people, always there for advices, recommendations and useful tips. Sleeping alone (not many visitors there !) in this huge empty school may seem a little gloomy and scary (some horror movie vibes ?), you will soon forget about it while enjoying the beautiful scenery surrounding the school, while meeting the villagers and the workers at the tea farm nearby (which were the reason why I went there the first place) and while enjoying the delicious food provided by the hosts (on certain days). These few days were the last of a fantastic month of holidays I spent in Kyushu. Staying there was one of the best ideas I had for sure! お世話になりました!

Great and hearty breakfast - Japanese style.

It was a great, spacious lodge with everything you could need. Good airconditioning (we went in summer), good bathroom and other facilities also great! It’s a bit out of the way, you definitely need a rental car, but it’s a lovely and quiet location! The sleeping area is Japanese style, just an FYI, but it added to the charm of the lodge. The hostess was a very kind woman who greeted us with information in our native language and a welcome snack. That was really nice.

The host were incredibly kind and very helpful with pick ups and drop offs. The location was very near to Izuhara port. I would recommend hiring a car if you wanted to fully explore Tsushima though.
