Great little guesthouse deep in the island. If you're doing the Shimanami Kaido, this place is around 15KM away from the main track. You need to cycle up a hill to get here, I didn't find it very difficult (I'm a beginner cyclist). Depending on what type of traveller you are, this can be a pro or a con. I loved it. Appart from the staff in the guesthouse, no one in the neighbourhood speaks English, but that adds to the charm. The room has all the amenities of a regular hostel. They also provide towels. There was a kitchen and laundry facilities and everything was tidy. Nearby points of interest are a sea water onsen (sadly closed on Wednesdays), an interesting abandoned Shrine at the end of the pier overlooking the bay, and a Okonomiyaki shop run by an old lady. The food was very good and cheap. There is also a supermarket but it closes around 7pm. I would definitely stay here again if I'm repeating the Kaido.

Nil.

charming rustic guesthouse right on the road. no trouble finding it whatsoever. great place to stay in if you’re planning on breaking up Shimanami Kaido into two days (like I did and completely recommend doing). best of all, it was right next to a konbini! also, they sell vegan friendly western food! I’ve been looking for coconut milk in Japan for ages and finally found some!

The dorm was a two dorm room. Very new and nice! The sleeping area was pristine! The staff was very helpful with bike problems.

The reception made a bad First impression, kinda messy. But the sleeping are is very new!

The owners were extremely welcoming and accommodating. They had good suggestions for activities in town.

Check in time is quite late, this was only an issue because it was pouring with rain.

Great little guesthouse, even got discount tickets for the nearby onsen and amazing local restaurant reccomendations. Thank you very much :)

Close to the onsen and konbini

Allow longer check in window. Between 5pm and 7pm is too short of a time span.

Easy to find, comfortable, clean and very friendly hosts

Images implied there was a cafe but if there is it wasn’t operating - the local Lawson Station has good coffee

Nice staff, gave me a discount ticket to the onsen after seeing I was too tired after a full day cycling

Check in is only in very specific, tight hours

Lovely host, cute little guest house

A little noisy and not so many showers for the amount of guests.

Clean and quiet

All good
