Self Catering Accommodation in Iyo

I loved everything about this stay. Very friendly and warm hosts, a really comfortable place overall. Iyo doesn’t have too much in the way of food, but they provided some toast and jam which was really nice of them. I’m especially grateful that they took me around the town when I unfortunately couldn’t make it to Cat Island. Beds were comfy futons.

Cold parts of breakfast were left in the fridge. The rice was ready in the cooker. I had to re-warm the soup myself. Very good!

It was great getting a lovely Japanese house to myself. Great facilities and the owner was super friendly.

We were lucky enough to spent a wonderful time with our host, who speaks english very well. She was very friendly and had enough time for us to show us all the amenities and our wonderful room. Use your time to look at her art and what she sells of it, she is very talented, we've got wonderful pieces that will always remind us of our time there. Room and amenities are great and photos are accurate. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we did.

the location was great, walkable to the remarkable onsen, castle, and the station. It was spacious and clean. Fully equipped with utensils.

We loved the history/ architecture of the Suzuki residence, a traditional Japanese home with many original features (furniture, library, photos). The whole upper level is yours, consisting of 4 rooms, plus toilet, kitchenette and verandah that overlooks the inner garden. Area very quiet. Beds very comfortable, nice pillows! Miyu and Yoshi are amazing hosts, super friendly, helpful for local tips, they make the stay more memorable. Shower downstairs is small but clean and functional, can only be used when cafe closed. Cafe open from noon - 6pm, so available outside these hours, was no problem for us. I tried the Ohagi and pudding from cafe, both were delicious. We loved Mitsu- nice historic area with fantastic Izakayas with such friendly locals. You don’t get this experience in the city centre. Travelling into Matsuyama was easy, either via small boat crossing to Minatoyama station, or 15min walk from Mitsu station down Main Street also great). Also bus 56 heading south toward airport was convenient for us picking up hire car

It was a great room in a great location

Highly recommend this property! Definitely worth staying for! Prime location: the property is just next to Dogo Park and about 5-7 mins walk outside the shopping area of Dogo Onsen and Dogo Onsen Honkan. It is perfect for those who prefer quiet and peaceful environment. We do suggest do your grocery shopping before arriving Dogo Onsen. There were Aeon and other supermarkets on the way to Dogo Onsen. It was a bit tricky to find the way to the entrance/drive way from Google Map or GPS. They both took us to Dogo Park, which is where the property was located next to then struggle to get to the property. But manpower fixed the problem so I wouldn’t worry too much. Room design: the property has mixed modern Japanese style design in the bedroom and toilet and Taisho style design in the dining area. Love the balance between antique and contemporary. We absolutely love the dining room and the lounge, especially when we are enjoying our coffee time. Appliances and cutlery: the most equipped kitchen I have ever seen in guesthouse. It looks like the property maybe used for catering purposes beforehand (or specifically designed for a very good cook). There is an industrial grade fridge (even we only used the little one as requested) and a cabinet full of beautiful plates and bowels. Our dinner and breakfast almost turned into a fine dining experience. Bathroom: this is definitely the highlight of the property. We knew 源泉掛け流し is the highly regarded in onsen but we never tried one until staying here. It was fascinating to know that you can get the onsen straight from the sauce. It was a wonderful experience. And we now know why previous guests all said they went to the bath multiple times. Prompt reply: the host replies any enquires pretty much straight away and was very helpful. We did accidentally parked at the wrong spot so please accept our late apologies. Check-in/check-out: there is a tablet for check-in and check-out.
