Beds were really comfortable, bathroom was lovely

This place is beautiful! A renovated apartment in a traditional Japanese building - it has been beautifully renovated and has all the comforts you could need. A really stunning place to stay. I wish I had stayed for more than one night!

The Place

Stayed in March 2025

Steep stairs, bright light that shined into bedroom, basic kitchen step up so don't expect to be able to cook. We found very food options that were open in the town. I felt it was expensive for the area we stayed.

Beautiful property in a historical home. We didn't have anyone next door so it was quiet. Nice touches like dyson hairdryer, local green tea and sweets in the kitchen.

Clean, modern, tastefully done.

It wasn't totally clear to me that there's actually 2 dwellings in the "house", so it wasn't as private as I was expecting. It might not have been a big deal except there's no sound proofing because the building is old, so when our neighbours were up late laughing and giggling we could hear it quite clearly. The hosts do provide ear plugs at least. The stairs are quite steep, def not friendly for anyone with bad knees. Given the toilet is downstairs and the bedrooms are upstairs it also means "ducking to the loo" during the night is quite a mission. We had to leave a light on downstairs to avoid any neck breaking falls. Its also a bit of a struggle to get big suitcases up and down. There's no laundry facilities which seemed a bit odd for such a well equipped apartment. If you're staying a few days you'll have to use one of the coin laundries in town... There isn't one in easy walking distance however. Had to "check in" at a different location, their restaurant on the shopping street. It's not far, but there's nowhere to park so if you're in a car you're likely going to pull over illegally out front to check in. The property access is all door codes, no physical keys, so I don't know why they don't just do it all online.

For a start, it's on this site and friendly to western tourists, which is a bit of a rarity in this part of Japan. We actually stayed here to visit Oboke and Iya valley - there wasn't anything closer we could find with availability. The apartment is a charming folk house restoration/conversion. It's well equipped, especially in the bathroom, which along with an auto filling Japanese bathtub included multiple Dyson hair styling accessories. The beds were firm but comfortable, and the bedrooms are quite spacious. There's split system A/C up and down stairs to keep the place cool/warm. Its about 3 mins walk to the covered shopping street where most of the restaurants are, maybe 10 from the train station. There's also a car space but its in a lot 3 doors down.

We liked everything.

We particularly liked the style of the accommodation which was a mix of traditional and modern. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay had been thoughtfully provided.

Limited options to prepare breakfast. Only one small pan.

Great combination of the old building and good facilities (e.g. bath, airco). Close to Iya valley and acces to the highway to drive to other parts of Shikoku.

The kitchen was very small. Some cutting knives and a chopping board would have been useful.

We loved the accommodation. It was beautiful staying in a traditional building with history. The bath and it’s view were especially wonderful. A wonderful experience.

Could use a chopping board. Toilet downstairs ( with sleeping upstairs) but understand given the age of the house.

Loved the bathroom and pot bath. Access to outside garden. Loved dining table and chairs as well as lounge chairs. Kitchen easy to use. Daily fresh towels were appreciated.

Couldn't have asked for anything more!

The staff at 4S Stay were very accommodating. Because my partner and I arrived late, they communicated with us ahead of time and insured that we had information for entering the property and parking without needing to stop by their main hotel for check-in. The amenities were fantastic, and the whole place was spotless.
