Free bike rental and free surf board rental, 7min from the Beach by walk. Besides the beach is quiet and heavenly. The check-in was so smooth and intuitive. Safe and super clean. Massive kictchen to cook and share with others, grocery shop very close, with affordable Wagyu beef ! If you want to feel the surf vibe in Japan, this is a go to place !! Taka and Reo (managers) are so friendly and helpful, ask them anything. Big big plus : Reo is american and really flexible, and Taka is an Izakaya Chef (you won’t even need to speak japanese to bond with him) Taka San (the owner) is the local Kelly Slater and he can teach you surf. He lives next door with Shuko San and his lovely family. They are friendly and so open minded. They offered me the most authentic experience of my one-month trip in Japan. I strongly recommend this place P.S : I wish I had a house like theirs

Mr Tanaka was exceptionally friendly and made our stay quite enjoyable. Its good value for money, but of course isn't as fancy as a more expensive hotel or guest house would be. The location to a nice beach was very good although its a steep walk up and down a hill or steps, overall good location though. If you are nice Mr Tanaka will be happy to help out where he can as well, ie getting a lift into town and possibly borowing is body board

This guesthouse is a hidden gem in a remote location, peaceful and surrounded by nature. The detached ocean view camping style room was a highlight, letting me fall asleep to the sound of waves and wake up to a stunning sea view. Right in front of the guesthouse there is a small island, and you can even swim directly in the ocean which was such a rare and unforgettable experience. The guesthouse itself is simple and cozy, and the nearby hotel provides access to excellent facilities including an onsen and BBQ. Being able to relax in the hot spring after a swim and enjoy a BBQ dinner made the stay complete. The remote setting, the unique ocean view room, the chance to swim in front of the island, and the nearby hotel’s facilities all come together to make this a true 10 out of 10 experience. I would happily return.

I loved everything! The guest house was extremely clean and the personnel super nice and welcoming! They kept our suitcases for us even after the check-out, and also gave us service nuts for our drinks! The position was amazing, we were in front of a temple and the beach! I will go back for sure!

I had a fantastic experience at this guest house! The owner,Asami, was exceptionally kind and accommodating. Initially, I was concerned about the location being a bit far, but I found it very easy to walk to the guest house from the JR station. The guest house is ideally situated by the river, making it perfect for viewing the Kawazu cherry blossoms and enjoying the night sakura. It’s only a 5 - 10 minute walk to nearby onsen and delicious soba dinner options. I truly appreciate Asami's hospitality and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

    The host is a very enthusiastic person, with an interesting soul and a kind heart. When we checked in, we encountered some difficulties, and the owner was very enthusiastic to help solve them. Thank you very much. The homestay is very clean, and the host has done everything himself. It turns out that the landlord is working very hard! Like it 👍
