Kitahama Sumiyoshi

One of the most memorable stays! We had the whole house to ourselves, making it such a special experience in a traditional Japanese home. The beautiful Japanese garden within the house ground added to the overall charm. The futon bed and pillow were very comfortable. The kitchen had basic utensils like plates and cutlery, but it was not meant for cooking as there were no pots or pans. Coffee and small bread biscuits were provided. Free parking. Highly recommended.

房間好美，空間也很大，浴室可以泡澡超棒，廚房也很好用，周圍的店家都非常好逛，拍照拍到瘋掉，停車位很近

Vielle maison japonaise, tres belle et spacieuse

Self-contained original style Japanese house (with tiny garden). In a little cultural district (bars, shops, coffee houses). Felt special.

Kitchen needs a bit more “stuff” (knives, utensils etc), low doorways 😩. I’m tall. NOTE: This is an unusual property and will not be for everyone but if it’s your thing…you’ll love it!

Beautiful renovated traditional Japanese machiya house. Lovely internal garden. A very welcome soak in the stone bath at the end of a day. Very convenient location a short walk from the JR station and port, surrounded by Kitahama Alley with delightful shops, cafe, restaurants and bakery. A welcoming host who was responsive to messages. Very nice biscuits and snacks left by her in the kitchen upon arrival. We loved the whole experience. The whole property was also surprisingly spacious, with plenty of room for two people.

No washing machine on site but the host showed us on the map provided that the laundromat was only 5 min walk down the road. A basket and laundry detergent was also provided

The house was very peaceful, had everything one needed and nothing superfluous. The bedding was very comfortable, especially the pillows. The host was charming and kind. We were very happy there.

Tall people might have problems moving between rooms, my husband kept forgetting and hitting his head on the door frames. We learnt quickly better to duck when moving between rooms.

This accommodation is such a treasure. It is an entire home/apartment only a few streets back from the water. It is so gorgeous inside, its a very traditional home.

Very Japanese, lovely design and authentic feel. Brilliant area, walking distance from Setouchi and all the glorious art and architecture. Coming back to the house everyday was a thrill. Could not have hoped for better accommodation in Takamatsu.

Nothing, it was perfect!

The house was incredible, the woman who rents it was super nice and did an incredible job furnishing the flat and making the architecture of the house in itself. She was super nice and we had a great time sleeping in the Japanese spirit.

It's a really beautiful old building. We had a nice stay. The futon is really comfortable and warm. They have free parking outside the house. If you are driving, it is quite convenient.
