While the cleanliness for most critical areas- room, bedding, furniture surfaces and kitchenwares- met the expectations, cleanliness for some other areas- deep corners of the toilet, urinal, sink & bath, and side surfaces of some walls and appliances- left much to be desired. It appeared the owner made necessary efforts to keep the place in good shape for the guests every day, but I would suggest a more frequest deep cleaning of many of the areas.

Welcoming, coomunicative & accomdating owner. Ammenities, wifi, & are easily accessible. Comfortable & spacious room. Good pleasant walking distance to the nearest supermarket, which is nice, modern, and large.

The toilet is a little old, and there was a slight smell. The location was a little hard to find because the sign for the guesthouse is very weathered and not in a good position for drivers to see. Also, I think it would be a good idea to have a loud doorbell or buzzer, or maybe a light switch with instructions to turn it on at the front door. Even though I yelled from the front entrance and tried the doorbell, the owner couldn't hear me because he was watching TV. Maybe his hearing isn't as good as it used to be. So, I think a new notification system is necessary.

The owner was very friendly and hospitable! My room was cool and the bedding was comfortable. The owner made me coffee in the morning (^^)

Maybe the kitchen and toilets need a little refreshment but I don’t mind and it adds charm to it

I had amazing time with the host and the room was super cozy

The host, Takashi, was a pleasure to talk to and gave us great advice about a restaurant for dinner that we would never have found by ourselves. It was a wonderful experience to spend a night in a traditional Japanese home with a welcoming host who wanted to practice his English with us

Sharrd kitchen was so unclean as to present a health risk. Host needs to hire someone to clean kitchen properly and regularly

Host amazing, helpful, kind, interested in his guest’s

On has to know that it is simple and old and you can hear all noise in an old building but it is great nevertheless.

Lovely place and host with a big heart and plenty of information and stories. I really enjoyed my time in this traditional family home.

I was traveling with a friend, walking the Shikoku pilgrimage. Great homestay, we had couple of precious advises about life from our host who shared about his life. Very humbling and inspiring! Last but not least, we had a taste of rally driving the next day! Thank you very much again 😊

Filthy kitchen. No meals available but wouldn’t want to eat there anyway Couldn’t wait to leave. Felt dirty No disrespect to the host who was lovely. I guess he didn’t see the dirt?

Lovely old ( our age!) gentleman host spoke good English.

The man running the place is very nice and personable. I had probably the best sleep on my trip here. He even took a photo of me and gave me a physical copy. I felt like staying at my grandpa‘s house.

It feels like staying at a Japanese Grandpa’s house. Takashi is a wonderful host, and we all shared our experiences. Staying at Takashi’s house offers a glimpse into traditional Japanese life.

I had the exceptional pleasure to pass a night in the house of Takashi ITO san, which is his guesthouse. Ito san is a very kind and friendly person. I was happy to stay in a Japanese house. I was in rooms in traditional Japanese stile with tatami, futon, many nice decorations and objects in the rooms. His guesthouse has the name of his ancient family. We have talked and laughed, we have made photos. Ito san has on the walls of his place photos of all his guests in the last 5 years, many nice people, couples, men, women. He has told me about two local traditional restaurants, and I made dinner in one of them. Hi is a kind and very friendly person. I was happy to meet him and pass a night in his house. I have the best thoughts about him. He reduced the payment in half because I was alone, but I could use both of his traditional Japanese stile rooms.

I totally recommend this place. If you are looking for an old traditional Japanese house with a heartwarming owner, this is the place to stay as an henro after a long day walk. Thank you Ito-san. Wish you the best. Erwan

Really, it was all good.

I can’t say enough nice things about this place. This is the best place I have stayed in since I arrived in Japan 10 days ago. The host was incredibly welcoming and generous and I was made to feel at home. The location is great for anyone doing the Shikoku Henro as it is very close to the route. Thank you for such a great experience.

Great host! Comfortable bed

Stayed in May 2024

It was filthy. The kitchen had built up grim that only accumulates with years of neglect and no attempt to clean. I wouldn’t boil an egg there. My room had frosted glass sliding doors next to the kitchen, so my room was literally until the last person went to bed.
