Fukurou

A laid-back and quiet place with everything we needed. The room was comfortable with nice thick futons and everything was very clean. No meals provided at Fukurou but there was a microwave available, and a kettle provided in the room. A taxi from Kushimoto station cost 2000 yen. There's a bus service but a limited timetable, so make sure to check the times. We enjoyed being out in the backblocks and walking into Kushimoto. We did a snorkelling tour with ARK diving, which was excellent.

I spent a night here as solo traveller. If you don't have a car, plan well in advance because buses don't run often from the JR Station. My single room was huge and perfectly equipped, all spaces are very clean. It was a very relaxing stay, probably the most comfortable futon I've slept on ;) You get a set time for bathing and there is no kitchen.

Very peaceful spot, a great place to rest and rejuvenate if you need some quiet time. If you need a friend there’s a cute cat that enjoys lots of pats and loves attention. The room was comfortable and a generous size with nice views out to the garden and even a glimpse of the ocean. The bath time ritual was actually quite lovely - you get a designated bath time and the host runs a bath for you every night. I stayed in mid January and the place was practically empty, seems to be aimed towards family summer holidays. All in all a quirky and unique place to recharge.

There’s a kettle in the room and a microwave down the hall which was great, but it would’ve been nice to have some bowls/plates/chopsticks etc and a bigger mug (there was only a tiny cardboard cup).

I loved the ducks, I loved the cat, and my room and the private bath were unexpectedly spacious. The location is tough to get to, especially on foot, but the extra information on how to access the property I was sent right after booking was a huge help. I didn't get lost at all, thanks to those instructions.

The room was big and tidy, and the baths were very relaxing.

There is no tableware (no dishes, bowls, spoons...). I had to eat me dinner directly from the pan. A dinner cooked in a very fashion way (sea the pictures), but that was fun.
