    Such a lovely, warm atmosphere and the hosts were the nicest people. They brew their own beer and it's a great opportunity to chat to locals at the bar. Room was super comfortable and lovely. Would 100% stay again!

    We had an amazing stay at Bakushuku Den Guest House. Not only is the place itself very nice and clean, but we also felt very welcomed by the host. There is a small brewery run by the host, so we were able to enjoy a glass of delicious draft beer made right there. Thank you for having us – we would definitely come back!

    I got a whole room to myself. It's a bit pricey even though it was the cheapest option at the time. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Close to train station and shops! They also have a bar which is a plus if you love beer

    I really can't think of anything..........

    What a great guest house! I wanted to visit Shikoku, and came across this place to stay in a small place, a few miles from the busy main town. The whole experience of staying there was fabulous; a comfortable room, well-stocked kitchen and, of course, an excellent on-site micro-brewery where I was able to spend each evening, sampling the craft beers and chatting to some interesting fellow guests. A lovely, lovely place, which I'd happily return to at some point. With special thanks to Den, the owner, for ensuring that I got to the ferry on the morning of my departure - thank you!

    The highlight of this place (besides the excellent beers obviously..) is the general vibe and how nice everybody is ! The rooms are nice and big, the brewery itself is super small but brings a lot of locals during the evening. The staff is super welcoming. I highly recommend !

    There was nothing I didn’t like. The Guesthouse is also a brewery, so noise of clients would sometimes be an issue, but earplugs were provided.

    D’en (host) was exceptionally generous, welcoming and helpful, and it was a pleasure to meet his family.

    You'll either come here to enjoy the local beer, or stay at an old Japanese residential house. The guest house is small, and therefor always relaxed. Downstairs is a small brewery and bar, definitely try a few of the beers! Staff is a lot of fun to interact with.

    Place is slightly out of the way but shouldn't matter too much if you like walking around. There is a frequent train anyway going into the city.

    Very unique place in a good way. You get the full Japanese living experience with a Japanese style house. Plenty of space both in the room and the common area. Good appliances in the kitchen for all cooking needs and a fridge upstairs right outside the rooms. Den and Nao were the best part, so friendly and accommodation. I do not drink which was a shame but if you do this place will be even better than I say. Thank you.

    The bathtub area wasn't very clean and the rooms had a fermenting smell (but I guess that's to be expected in a brewery)

    Owner is very nice and friendly and speak English fluently. The bar downstairs was as also a very good experience!

    Den welcomed us and was extremely helpful to find a place to eat in the evening. We stayed for two days and spend some time with him and other locals enjoying great craft beer. The room was spacious and very authentic in this old house. This was the start of our stays and we got a lot of great recommendations for the rest of our trip. Definitely one of the many highlights of our trip!
