Guest Reviews

• 俞萱 (9/5): -
• Cas (10/5): Heerlie de peerlie - De meneer van de receptie hielp erg veel met het regelen van activiteiten en informatie over de omgeving
• harry (7/5): Basic and functional in a good location for exploring the area ….own transport really needed - Good hostel style place right in heart of Iya value….fairly basic amenities but worked for us and price reflects what you get Grand
• M (9/5): -
• Oscar (10/5): - I really enjoyed my stay. Beautiful, quiet. Had some really great video games in the common room. Perfect.
• Manfreds Booking (9/5): - Angenehmes freundlichen Personal und Gäste. Sauberes Haus. Große Hilfsbereitschaft. Nahe am Iya River und Brücke. Sehr viel Wald. Zimmer liegen an einer Straße mit PKW u LKW Verkehr. Nachts sehr hell und etwas höhere Geräuschkullisse. Weite Fußwege zu den Onsen und zum Frühstücken. Keine ATMs nur Cash in Restaurants und teils in Läden.
• Anthony (10/5): -
• Claudia (10/5): -
• Ira B (8/5): Comfortable clean guesthouse in an amazing setting. - I really liked the setting and the japanese style room was fantastic. I was also surprised how much I enjoyed the bath. My room was next to the toilet which wasn't ideal, but wasn't terrible either.
• Johnson (9/5): - The guesthouse location is exceptional, so close to the bridge and to local onsen.
• Pierre (10/5): -
• Sven (9/5): - De eigenaar is geweldig en doet er alles aan om je te helpen en van allerlei informatie te voorzien. Ondanks dat er in het dorp zelf weinig te doen is, is het een geweldig verblijf als je echt tot rust wil komen of de Iya vallei ver fiets of wandelend wil verkennen. De kracht van de douchekop is vrij laag
• Guillaume (9/5): -
• Shao Yu (10/5): 類似背包客棧的地方，住宿兩天遇到的旅客都是歐美人，大家都會在客廳聊天分享各地見聞，很有趣的旅遊回憶。 - 住宿地點很棒，就在藤蔓橋和琵琶瀑布上方，旅館主人英文很好溝通沒問題，很熱心跟我們介紹附近景點。要注意的是廁所和浴室是共用的，這是唯一不太方便的部分，廚房可以自由使用，所有鍋碗瓢盆甚至調味料都一應俱全，這整個區都很偏僻餐廳很少，建議自己買食材回來料理三餐。 洗衣機和烘衣機在其中一間浴室內，若有人在洗澡就不能使用洗衣機，建議移到外面的公共區域方便隨時使用。
• Vincent (10/5): -
• Venla (9/5): Unforgettable experience 💕 - Amazing location! Busses in this region truly are infrequent, so plan your stay well!
• Claudia (8/5): Comfortable Japanese guesthouse - Comfortable Japanese guesthouse, well equipped shared kitchen and communal area. Staff speak good English, bike hire available and luggage storage also accommodated. Small shops nearby and some local cafes - more open at lunch. Able to reach by bus and train, within 5 mins walk of vine bridge
• christian (8/5): -
• Monica_tombamon (9/5): - Cuina molt gran i molt ben equipada, la zona comunitària molt gran i còmoda i amb jocs per jugar.
• Casper Gandil (10/5): Great location and helpful host - Great location and the host was so friendly and helpful. There is a great restaurant for dinner two houses down the road.
• Jean (7/5): Goed voor 1 nacht - Rustige buurt Om 16:00 inchecken is aan de late kant, in de omgeving is niet veel te zien of te doen. En na een dag in de auto wil je graag om 15:00 naar je kamer kunnen om te douchen
• Collette (9/5): - The owner was really lovely, they had retro video games in the communal area! Spacious, comfortable rooms. Nothing, it was great
• 淑蓉 (8/5): - 離蔓橋很近，附近就可以吃早餐和晚餐，很方便。
• Matthew (7/5): Traditional but basic lodgings right next to Kurabashi Bridge - Very friendly owners/staff. Location is very near kurabashi Bridge but you really need to bring a car if you want to visit anywhere else. Buses are sparse and taxis limited. Walk if you like though if you can spare 3 hours or more! Classic tatami mat room was nice to experience and the bed was surprisingly comfy. Also the steps opposite the guesthouse take you to the bridge and back so it saves you walking up and down the steep roads! Very barebones lodging and no private bathroom. No desk and chair in the room too in case you want to sit and use a laptop.
• Pierre (8/5): -
• Jean (9/5): Globally I had a great stay - The owner is very nice and friendly. I enjoyed the simple room as well as the wide relaxing lounge space and the tea available from the kitchen. The place is very clean and there is a wide bath. Location is superb. Highly recommend it. Lacks a little character
• theodore (9/5): -
• Patrycja (9/5): - Najbardziej byliśmy pod wrażeniem pięknego japońskiego pokoju. Do tego wszystko co jest zapewnione w obiekcie w kuchni czy pokoju gościnnym było po prostu wspaniale!
• Lillian (10/5): Exceptional - Host very friendly, we arrived early and it wasn’t an issue, facilities excellent, fabulous surroundings Nothing we didn’t like
• Christian (9/5): -
• Debbie (10/5): Great location in an area of outstanding natural beauty - Very clean and pleasant, but also very simple. The owner is extraordinarily kind and accommodating. Not a negative for the property but note that there are very few eating places in the evening as this is very remote and especially in the off-season
• Jose Manuel (7/5): -
• Nick (9/5): -
• NONAKA (7/5): 静かに過ごせたので、また行きたいです。 - オーナーがとても親切で良い方でした。到着が遅くなり周りが真っ暗な為、着くまでに道に迷ってしまい電話をしながらきちんと道を教えて下さいました。朝起きて周りの景色を見ると「次は明るい時間帯に到着しないといけないな」と反省をしました。笑 お風呂はとても広くて快適でした。夜遅くなったので洗濯機や乾燥機は使いませんでしたがもう少し早く到着してお風呂に入っていたら洗濯乾燥までしておいたら帰宅してからの片付けがラクだったかも？と思いました。 カップ麺やお菓子は販売ケースにありましたが、レトルトの白米などもあればなお良かったかも？と思いました。3月上旬に行ったので寒かったです。
• Joelle (9/5): Une auberge traditionnelle charmante. Douches et toilettes communes. Atmosphère familiale. - Voiture nécessaire.
• Jacky (6/5): - The bed was comfortable and warm and the bedroom had heating. Tea and coffee were provided in the kitchen and toiletries in the bathroom. It is very close to the Vine bridge and small café. Friendly man who ran it. The building, bathrooms, lounge and kitchen areas were freezing cold. It smelled musty and mouldy because windows and doors are ill fitting. The bedroom was too bright all night, illuminated by a street lamp, so sleep was very patchy. No food is provided and the tiny shop didn't have much. I hasten to add that my visit was in March, low season, and maybe this would all be better in summer!
• Ariane (8/5): Endroit idéal pour petit budget pour découvrir Iya-valley - Hébergement très bien localisé à quelques minutes du pont de lianes symbole de la vallée. Personnel très attentif qui peut aider avec certaines démarches requiérant un numéro de téléphone japonais. Difficultés à faire marcher l'air conditionné (télécommande sans indication en anglais). Faible nombre de robinets dans la salle de bain commune (peut causer des embouteillages en période touristique).
• Sandro (7/5): - Il lampione della strada… era come averlo in camera…
• Pierre (5/5): On à bien dormi mais il faisait très froid et sans eau parfois, difficile - La literie, l’emplacement dans la vallée et le cote traditionnel pour j’en guesthouse L’établissement est en entretien minimal disons, et étant en hiver lors de notre séjour, on avait très froid dans les couloirs puis le matin les canalisations ayant gèlé, pas d’eau, chaude notamment c’est dur.
• Paula (10/5): - Hermosa guest house, super recomendable! Un lugar muy calido y el personal muy amable!
• YASUSHI (8/5): いいロケーションでゆっくり過ごすことができた。 - 祖谷のかずら橋の前にあり、行きやすかった。 部屋に虫が出たこと。
• Nir (10/5): -
• MITSUTAKE (10/5): ほんわか - おもてなしのこころ なし
• Tae (8/5): お世話になりました - お風呂のしょんべん小僧に子供が大ウケでした
• Pau (9/5): -
• Antonin (8/5): Good place to stay near the vine bridge - Friendly host and nice seating area downstairs Great location
• 姜 (10/5): - 共有空間
• Tara (10/5): -
• Marie-Laure (8/5): - Très bien placé Stationnement Staff cool Chambre confortable espace commun très agréable Note pour les personnes frileuses, il ne fait pas chaud dans le building
• chin-tan (7/5): 還可以 - 地點位置可以 清晨車聲
• Graham (10/5): Yes.its good - And a great location. Shared kitchen was clean and well stocked. Staff understand English. Nice rooms. Great baths. Such a relaxing place.
• Oon Tong (10/5): Good location. Value for money. - Location was superb. Within walking distance to the Vine Bridge. Staff was very efficient and kind. Help us (elderly people) with our luggage - carry up to level 2. Also suggested a nice place for dinner, and another for yummy breakfast, and a short cut to walk to the Vine Bridge. Our rooms (3 rooms) all face the street and traffic noise (though it was a narrow street) could be heard as early as 4 am.
• Goda (9/5): -
• Yoshie (10/5): 癒しの宿！ - 湯船のあるお風呂を貸切で入ることができて感動しました。 タオルやバスタオルもあり、部屋は個室、疲れが癒えました。 居間も広くて居心地が良いです。 ビールやおつまみも売っています。 キッキンもしっかりしていて料理するのもありだと思います！ 駐車場から少し歩くことだけど、たいした距離ではありません。
• Pathinya (10/5): -
• Dany (10/5): - The accomodations were good. Great location near vine bridge. The staff was extremely kind and went ouf of their way to help out! Would recommend
• Olivier (7/5): -
• Melinda (10/5): Great few days - thanks - Great kitchen- well equipped and helpful extras provided such as coffee salt and pepper, oil etc Bath was a treat too. And lastly washing line in room was v practical
• Chloé (9/5): - Tolle Lage, Heizung im Zimmer, sauberes Bad
• Eva Lotte (10/5): Perfekter Ausgangspunkt für das Iya Tal - Sehr freundliches Personal, sehr sauber, Beste Lage, schöne Informationen über das Tal
• Odette (8/5): -
• Muriel (10/5): -
• Anne (10/5): Auberge parfaite pour un séjour dans la vallée d'Ida - Auberge traditionnelle très agréable, en bordure de la rivière Iya. Accueil très sympathique. Chambres parfaites : futons et couettes très agréables. Bain chaud le soir très appréciable. Salon cosy au rez-de chaussée avec cuisine et vaisselle disponibles pour prendre ses repas. Le ryokan juste à côté fait aussi de très bons dîners à des prix modiques, accompagnés d'une dégustation de plusieurs sakés locaux. Tout était super
• Pandelé (7/5): -
• pierre (10/5): - Très bien situé, accueil chaleureux et sympathique, de belles chambres et un bel endroit.
• Gary (9/5): - Great guesthouse, good communication with staff. Highly recommend.
• Jhoana (6/5): convenient - Location is very convenient and the staff is very friendly and speaks English. The walls are thin, and the neighboring room had a child making a lot of noise. The location is also in front of the main road, so the trucks and cars passing by during the night can be annoying. It’s not the guesthouse’s fault, but be aware that if you’re looking for a quiet stay, this place might not be the best option for you.
• Mun leng (9/5): -
• YASUE (7/5): -
• heather (9/5): will stay again - the location was good for us
• osamu (9/5): 欧米人御用達の納得ゲストハウス - コスパがいい　清潔　ロケーション 周りに飲食するところがあまりないです
• Jacques (8/5): Bien pour la situation, moins bien pour le service. Un peu cher pour l'ensemble. - Situation dans la vallée de l'Iya et proximité du Onsen. Chambre vaste et propre. Très bruyant, on entend les voisins et la route. Les serviettes sons d'une qualité très moyenne et les bains sont des douches.
• Valerie (9/5): Etwas überteuerte, aber zweckmäßige Unterkunft - Sehr freundlicher, hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. In der Gemeinschaftsküche wird Kaffee, Tee und Wasser kostenfrei angeboten. Es gibt zu wenige Toiletten und Duschen für die Anzahl der Übernachtungsgäste, worunter die Sauberkeit der sanitären Einrichtungen leidet. Angebot für Frühstück / Abendessen wäre schön, so etwas teuer.
• Mia (10/5): Comfy, friendly and amazing location - The owner was so friendly and showed us some places to eat (as not much is open past 5pm), and there was lots of info on local attractions around the place. Comfy beds - basic tatami rooms - it looked like one side of the corridor didn't have loads of natural light as the windows were against a wall, but we were fine and you'll likely be out most of the day! Two large bathrooms featuring onsen-style baths which are run at 5pm each evening, but are private, but also feature showers so you can just shower in a huge amazing room at any time. Kitchen clean and well-equipped and common area cosy, with snacks and drinks available to buy. Location is brilliant for local attractions and parking is available 1 minute walk up the road. Loved our two nights here!
• Yoko (6/5): もう一度泊まらない。 - お茶が飲める場所　部屋の広さ 建物が古く　床が動くようなところがあった。　廊下に段差があり、危険。
• Martin (9/5): -
• miki (7/5): -
• Glen (6/5): Ok if you like backpacking - Location: just a few metres from the vine bridge. Old school hostel with interesting features. Futons are comfortable (not real futons, that's why). Had a big ofuro (bath) all by ourselves (family). Private and free parking (only 2 or 3 spots, beware). Room big enough for three (tight but ok). The shared kitchen had everything to cook. Location: very remote, not many options to dine (on weekdays we had only one, hopefully a good one). Very noisy early in the morning due to being literally on the roads (windows and doors even shattering when trucks passing) - don't know if the rooms on the back are quieter. Street lights lighten the rooms (same height as the rooms' windows) during night. Old school hostel so you will probably hear the other guests (we had the hostel all by ourselves so we can't tell but that's pretty obvious).
• John (8/5): - The host/manager was very helpful and we hired bikes for the day which were excellent. The room smelled a bit dusty / damp.
• Alessandro (10/5): -
• Shigeki (10/5): - かずら橋に近くアクセスしやすかった。 施設の方が親切だった。 建物自体は古い施設を再利用をされているようでしたが、特に問題はありませんでした。
• Clara (9/5): - La guest house est très bien placée, juste en face du pont en liane. On a pu aller le voir le soir c'était très bien. On a la possibilité de faire nos repas dans la cuisine.
• Lauri (9/5): -
• Sonia (10/5): -
• izumi (10/5): 立地居心地快適 - また是非泊まりに行きたいと思いました。
• Jonathan (9/5): Fantastic budget place next to vine bridge - Excellent location next to vine bridge, big onsen type bath, well equipped kitchen. The staff went out of their way to help, providing local information renting bikes and water equipment
• Mélanie (9/5): Lieu paisible et agréable au milieu des montagnes - La chambre avec futons était grande et propre avec vue sur la montagne. La cuisine est très fonctionnelle et la pièce à vivre très sympa. Nous avions à disposition des jeux de société et même la Nintendo (nostalgie). Le gérant était disponible et discret. La guesthouse se situe en face du pont de lianes. Il y avait également une petite épicerie de l’autre côté de la rue! On recommande cette guesthouse ++ Rien à dire!
• Mark (10/5): Good place in a good location & no regrets staying. - Great location for touring the area. Self catering facilities. Not really a problem with the property but unfortunately there were a few rude guests while I was there. Some guy stood outside my room on the phone for over an hour. (Very thin doors) Some other guests came crashing in at 1am and made no attempt to be quiet.
• Kiyoaki (7/5): なかなか面白かった。 - 看板のかずら橋に至近。近くに美味しい家庭料理の夕食を食べさせてくれる店がある。 運営している方は親切だった。 豪華なホテルではないということぐらいで、不満はない。
• Simone (7/5): -
• Federico (8/5): Giocare al Super Nintendo tra le montagne dello Shikoku - La guesthouse è proprio di fronte alle scale che scendono al ponte di liane più accessibile della valle; è anche a pochi passi dalla fermata dell'autobus che collega il paesino con la stazione di Ōboke. La sala comune al pianterreno è molto ampia e spaziosa; la cucina è ben attrezzata; c'è anche una lavatrice a disposizione. Soprattutto, però, nella sala comune c'è un Super Nintendo a disposizione! La vista dalle camere non è il massimo, di fatto da alcune si vede un muro. Intorno alla guesthouse non c'è granché, conviene arrivare con qualcosa da mangiare, però c'è da dire che nella guesthouse c'è qualcosa a disposizione. Aspettatevi dei grossi ragni!
• Serena (8/5): Ottima guesthouse nel centro della valle - -aree comuni molto accoglienti e utilizzate dagli ospiti. Ottima la cucina e la sala, c'è con anche una vecchia console nintendo e tanti manga -ubicazione molto comoda per vistare le valli -lo staff è stato molto gentile e disponibile, ci ha aiutato a prenotare il rafting per il giorno dopo telefonando a diverse strutture -migliorerei la gestione delle docce, sono ad uso comune ma è complicato segnalare che sono occupate e portarsi le proprie cose per cambiarsi ed asciugarsi. Aggiungere degli attaccapanni
• simona (9/5): -
• Johannes Petrus (9/5): - Very friendly host who helps out with a lot of things. The room and bathing facilities are very pleasant.
• Masayuki (10/5): - 受付での対応が大変良かった　　（　親切で問い合わせの対応が良かった） 心やすい対応で質問がし易かった 共有の食事場所が椅子で食事が出来れば最高でした
• Catherine (10/5): - Lovely traditional tatami mat room with a great onsen style bath, which is run at 5pm each day. The staff are very friendly. There is a little shop across the road which sells basic food for breakfast. The rope bridge is only a few minutes' walk down steps across from the guesthouse. Nothing
• Johannes Petrus (9/5): - Excellent location close to bus stops and the first Kazurabashi. The host is very kind and is very supportive in how to best explore the Iya valley area (buses, where to eat).. The tatami rooms are spacious and very comfortable.
• Jasmine (3/5): Freezing cold!!! Don't stay here in winter - Nice location in a beautiful rural spot, near the famous vine bridge. A hot bath was prepared for me (but the bath itself felt a little dirty/grimy). The owner was friendly but didn't speak much English. The room had no heater and was freezing cold!!!! I had the most uncomfortable sleep despite piling three blankets on myself. It was horrible and I don't recommend staying here in the colder months.
• christine (5/5): be careful to get a room with windows on the mountains not on a wall - The futons and the onsen are confortable, there s a small kitchen The owner brought me to the bus stop because the road to get there was going down and then much climbing, i appreciate I reserved a long time ago, the room was one of the most expensive i paid but i was very disappointed. The windows were facing a big wall so no outside light, the smell of closed place in the room was really inconfortable and remain all the time It s really to expensive for the price compared to other places nearby
• Emilie (10/5): Je recommande fortement ! - Super logement, confortable, gérant très sympathique, très bon accueil
