Loved everything about my stay here. They upgraded me to a private room, which I was so grateful for. The guesthouse is a renovated ryokan with a beautiful modern design. The rooms, common areas, kitchen, and bathrooms were spacious and well-equipped. Nice and warm inside as it was built well to keep out the cold (some other places I stayed in were quite cold). Everything was clean and quiet, and the area was peaceful. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. There's a cafe a few minutes drive away, which was also really pretty. Kito Cafe Nishiumori. Will definitely be coming back next time!

Really nice guesthouse, tastefully renovated and decorated, situated in a quiet village where you can relax and enjoy the nature and village life. We spent 2 nights there and our stay was comfortable. Our room was big, the beds comfortable. The kitchen is nice and it has everything one need for preparing meals. Tyler is a very friendly host which likes to share his knowledge about the region, thank you for this.

Wow... what can I say? This place blew us away. The décor, the beds, the facilities - all of them were absolutely top class. We had a fantastic nights sleep and woke up feeling extremely refreshed the next day. Alrik was an amazing host - who answered a myriad of questions about life in rural Shikoku, and even offered us some free beers! If you're looking for place to stay in Tokushima, please check this place out!

Very comfortable place to stay, beautifully designed throughout, reflecting both the older Japanese style, and a more modern design. Great to have use of a well prepared kitchen, and a super lovely area for relaxing/eating.. All in all far exceeded our expectations, and excellent value for money!

A beautiful and well designed place in the middle of an amazing mountain landscape. Colour themed Japanese style private rooms, very clean and a cozy common area with a well equipped kitchen. The guesthouse provides all the information you need for the area and a warm welcome from the staff. I would stay again for sure!

The building was amazing, everything was super clean and new. Excellent facilities, welcoming and chilled atmosphere. Really comfy futons. We would have stayed longer if we could! Alrik was a brilliant host, he offered us tips for local hikes and waterfalls.

The owner was very welcoming and helpful. The place looks/is brand new and beautiful. The room was big and comfortable and the view was really nice. All was very clean and tidy.

Everything. The place is lushly appointed, the owner was very friendly and helpful. Just try to get in a little early because it's a small town and everything closes quickly.

I recently stayed at this gem of a guest house situated deep in the Shikoku countryside. I was cycling between Anan and Kochi and was looking for something about halfway between the two cities and I happened upon The Next Chapter. The calm surroundings, the immaculately clean interior and the kind hospitality of Alrik and Tyler made for a great one night stay. Even the elderly neighbour across the road brought me a small, Japanese breakfast when she saw me working on my bike in the morning. I had dinner at the nearby restaurant which was delicious. If you are looking to experience the quiet life in rural Japan, this is the place. The road from Anan to Kochi is also stunning as it hugs the river canyon on the side of the steeply rising slopes. I had perfect weather during the ride and the changing autumn leaves made for a gorgeous ride.
