Nothing at all.

Beautiful house in traditional Japanese style, with spotless services (fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, laundry, little outside garden etc.). The highlight is the decorated central room, that can be partitioned into two separate ambients if necessary. Very gentle and helpful owner. Excellent starting point for explorations in the Iya Valley and surroundings.

Wonderful host, wonderful house - just too little time to explore everything that we wanted on Shikoku

Garden is super cute, bathroom very very clean. Whole experience is quite unique to stay at an old house, and the stay is quite comfortable.

This home is beautiful. Access to the entire floor plan was an amazing value. This would be a great option for a traveling family. The host was extremely kind and punctual, making check-in and check-out a breeze. There is just something special about staying in a traditional home like this while exploring the Japanese countryside. You can tell the host cares a lot about maintaining the property and really earns respect and satisfaction of guests. Will stay here again if I return to Shikoku.

Location is good base for exploring north east Shikoku by car albeit located in bit boring city and not many eating options nearby . If looking for some food either head for the nearest udon restaurant or go for those plentiful convenience stores or supermarkets and dine in this marvelous house!

Amazing old house full of tradition yet equipped with all new and well maintained facilities: ac, bathroom, tv with internet and guest access to streaming, well equipped kitchen. The owners are very kind and explained everything thoroughly.

No complaints, but it might be nice to have another beanbag for tv viewing :)

Authentic, traditional house in amazing condition. Very well cared-for, with good amenities. The owner was very attentive and a good communicator. We enjoyed the view of the garden from the side of the house. They have a smart tv, which was nice in the evenings.

Everything was great!

The hosts were very attentive, very kind, easy to communicate with. The home was a wonderful, historic, traditional 110 year old Japanese home. The location and atmosphere were perfect and great value!

The house was beautiful- old style, at the same time it had all modern facilities. Beautiful Japanese garden. And an amazing host. She even accompanied us to the local hospital. She would immediately reply to our messages and guide us with an advice. Very kind person. She also speaks English! Thank you so much for your help and kindness!

Lovely place to stay, very friendly and helpful hosts with excellent English, which is always a big bonus in a fairly remote part of Japan.

The house is so cute and is at such a nice location. Hosts were so friendly and helpful, such lovely people. Is an awesome experience being in this 120 year old house and we all slept so well on the futon beds. Highly recommend. We will be back if we visit Japan again in the future :)

Couldn’t get the room dark enough because of outside light, no comfy chairs (which seems typical for Japan), location was next to an apartment building

Lovely hosts, clean, a great Udon restaurant nearby (had to drive to)

- No heater (even a small portable) in the bathroom. - On our second morning, there was no more hot water. We were leaving, so too late to contact the host. But early January in a cold bathroom without hot water is not ideal. - Kitchen has ample space to put a table or a console. As it is now, there is no place to put plates or what you are using, while cooking. A little attention to these details would make a big difference. So far, it's too expensive for what you get. And until bathroom heating is installed, this house is not made for winter.

Traditional Japanese house, large and beautiful. Well kept. Hosts speak English, and are attentive and very helpful. Ample free parking space.

Cooking stove not good as the heating power was weak and unable to cook meals

Great location, very comfortable house, super clean
