Nothing, it was perfect

It was a lovely place to relax while cycling, amazing facilities, super clean, very comfortable, had great common areas to hangout and interact with other travellers (even had a bunch of manga to read including all of slam dunk). The staff were amazing, super accommodating and very friendly, despite arriving very wet from the rain, they helped me be comfortable and relax. The cafe downstairs is also a lovely thing to have here, I didn’t need or want to leave this place at all during the duration of my stay, I was able to meet and interact with some other lovely people there and it was overall an amazing experience. 10/10

Incredibly pleasant stay despite the earthquake and very grateful to the host for welcoming me in so warmly despite missing the check in time. Also a lovely environment and a great stop-over point if cycling around Sentonaikai.

We cycled the Shimanami Kaido from Imabari to Omishima and stayed for a night. The accommodation is really close to the famous Oyamazumi Shrine (the netflix show 'Let's Get Divorced' had a scene here). Lawson is right around the corner too. Not hotel related but if you're cycling, it's a good 25-minute uphill cycle, so brace yourself for it. But when you return to the "main" area where Roadside Station Tatara Shimanami Park is, then you'll enjoy the smooth ride down.

beautiful guesthouse. simple contemporary Japanese design. very comfortable beds. excellent shared bathroom facilities. great location. staff were excellent. we had a small double room 1 night and then had the family room on our 2nd night. both rooms were great. teh family room is beautiful - huge, elegant Japanese design, very comfortable beds. It also has a cafe which is funky and great food. We used this as a 2 night base during our Shiminamo Kaido bike ride and spent a full day cycling around the island. great way to stretch out the ride. our day ride on the island was incredibly peasceful. A couple of good local restuarants and a local brewery within a couple of minutes walk. Amazing temple/shrine complex just over the road.

A little expensive, however I think that's okay due to it being quite remote.

Very modern accommodation with some great food options. Staff were extremely helpful and kind. Good location, a very nice small traditional town.

Not en suite - but knew that before we booked.

Friendly welcoming staff, clean, close to temple, museums and eateries. Recommend Kitsune no Botan nearby for food (difficult to find as no western signage, but worth the effort - staff/owners very helpful and food delicious).

The location, cleanliness and nice staff. I also arrived super later after missing buses and trains. Haha. They were super accommodating.

The pillow was bad and the sleeping pod not well ventilated

Good vibes, wonderful and helpful owners, great cafe, feels like the wellbeing of the visitors matters. A good place to be in

The guest house is a bit far away from the main roads.

Staff kind and helpful. Bed were very confortable and only 6 persons per room so it's quite peaceful ! Everything was clean and worked fine.

Nothing really - it's a great place.

The whole guesthouse was very clean and well-cared for. The kitchen area was small but was very well-equipped and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful - really made us feel welcome and answered all our questions. And the cafe attached to the guesthouse served good food - nice to have it available right there after a long bike ride to get there.

We had some ants in our room.. it was written « free orange juice » in the kitchen but the container was empty our entire stay

Nice staff and good kitchen

Perfect place to stay if you're looking to do the Shimanami Kaido trail over 2 days. Clean facilities, friendly staff.

A great place to stay in the middle of the shimanami kaido! An extremely comfortable room in a cool little place, with great shower facilities and communal rooms to chill out in at the end of a day. Just a one minute walk from the gorgeous Oyamazumi Shrine-- do check out its sword museum! I wish I could have spent a few more days here.

Takes a while to get there from the main Shimanami Kaido route.

The owners are super nice. The facilities are amazing, they have washing machines and dryers, free coffee and tea, multiple toilets.

Very clean and lovely communal areas. And a bar downstairs.

It was located in an interesting village, near the bike rental station and close to two supermarkets.

There was no breakfast but we bought food at a convenient store nearby and use the hotel's kitchen. Very convenient. Also,we had dinner at the cafe and it was very nice!

Lovely place and the staff was nice! Beds were really comfortable in the family room!

The owner was a very kind host, we stayed for one night and refreshed ourselves well. The café/bar that is part of the facility serves nice food. Would indeed recommend as a great cyclist’s sanctuary.

Nothing of note.

I stayed here while cycling the Shimanami Kaido over 2 days. The accommodation is very close to the Oyamazuni Shrine (within 1-2 minutes' walk) - definitely a must-visit if you are staying here. There is also a Lawson's nearby and a bathhouse within 10-15 minutes' walk. The staff spoke English and were very friendly and helpful. There is an indoor hut to store bicycles. But a note of warning to cyclists, there is quite a long, steep hill to reach here which may be a bit tough for beginners.

it was perfect.

Amazing Guesthouse! Staff were extremely friendly an helpful throughout the stay. The layout of the place is clean and comfortable. really beautiful location. right next to a lawson and there's a cafe/restaurant connected as well as other options around the area.

Stayed in March 2023

The cafe is a bit too gourmet/fancy for my liking, 6usd for a tiny piece of cheese and some is not value for money for sure lol, better just buy food/drinks in the lawson.

Really new and clean. Nice relaxing vibe, GREAT if you want to do Shimanami Kaido in 2 days.
