    Nothing to dislike rather this home far exceeded our expectations.

    This home could be the highlight of your Japan vacation. It's a traditional Japanese song with fusuma and tatami, plus every modern convenience. It's a little hard to find but it's a treasure located right beside an ancient shrine. The home is also located minutes away from good restaurants and if you have a bike or a car close to attraction such as the marine centre. The staff are gracious on your arrival and then leave you alone to enjoy your stay. Stayed for two nights I wish we stayed for a week.

    For us, it was one of the best houses we ever booked via booking.com for our vacation. During our stay we felt the traditional Japanese Lifestyle. It was exactly what we were looking for to experience the original japanese flair with all the woden rooms and furniture. The accomodation was very clean, perfectly equipped, well located (a big supermarket is nearby) and just comfortable. The host were beyond friendly and answered all of our questions very fast. We would love to come back!

    We had great difficulty finding it as it is almost in the Shrine/Temple grounds

    It is very new and well appointed. Beds and pillows very comfortable

    Bit of a walk from the station - but untimately worth it, as theres pleanty to see along the way.

    Such a lovely and atmospheric location - almost within the nearby shrine. Lovely clean place and considerate (english speaking) host who dropped by to ensure all was OK. Clean and comfortable and we could even watch Netflix which my sons enjoyed. Not far from Kushimoto port and you can walk or bus to the Southernmost part of Japan's mainisland. Beauitiful. Not far from terrific places to eat. We dined at JuJu's - wonderful host who spoke some English and made sure we enjoyed our meal - we just gave him a budget (~Y3K each) and it kept on comein!

    Nothing

    The guesthouse is spacious and beautifully arranged according to Japanese aesthetic standards. We had a wonderful calm stay in Kushimoto and enjoyed the sauna. The host was so helpful and friendly. There is a beach nearby and beautiful nature.

    Its perfect. Nothing i am asking for.. Just excellent experience for us. We will definitely going back again.

    The manager is wonderfully friendly. We love the Japanese traditional tatami style house. The place is clean, everything that the travelers needs and you will get it in this house.

    What a great guest house. Located at the south end of town at end of a very quiet street next to a temple, the guest house is a beautifully maintained single story house in a traditional style, including tatami rooms for sleeping and relaxing. There's a kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals (we did), and the bathroom is well-appointed. Best of all, the manager is the absolutely nicest man. He offered to pick us up from the train station, showed us the town, and then got us settled in the guest house. When we told him we were in Kushimoto to visit the grave of an old family friend he said that he would drive us there and then to the train station. We felt very taken care of and very welcomed.

    This ground floor house is in a very quiet area next door to a Shrine about 12 mins walk south of Shirahama station on flat roads. The house is lovely - staying here is a beautiful way to experience modern Japanese living. Large bedroom for two people with comfortable futon beds. Living room plus lounge room and large kitchen. Laundry and bathroom are down one end and very private. The owner is a lovely man who was happy to pick us up upon arrival and show us around the house.

    Perfect stay for us in Kushimoto! Japanese style home was huge and could easily accomodate a large family, fully equipped with all the amenities (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom). Not forgetting that owner is extremely hospitable as well. Would not hesitate to choose Guesthouse Mori again when visiting Kushimoto

    The cameras- potentially in the front room and near the sauna. Probably there for innocent reasons but a bit disconcerting nevertheless.

    Location near a shrine and forest. Close to a great supermarket. The sauna was lovely. It was a cold night and the sauna really warmed us up. It was really nice having our own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom to enjoy to ourselves. The humidifier was an added bonus seeing we slept with the heater on.
