Vacation rentals in Shimanto, Takaoka District

Absolute stunning accomodation! Not only was the whole house (especially bathroom and kitchen) highly modern and usefully equipped, but everything had its charm and we instantly felt like being home :) We were even allowed to borrow two bikes for free! In retrospect we wished we would have stayed longer in Kōchi to enjoy our stay a bit more. ほんとにありがとうございます！^_^

This was a beautiful place, spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable. Close to the 40th temple and a great spot for walking pilgrims. Highly recommended.

Beautifully designed house with refined and chic furniture and fixtures. Host Minmi was so sweet and helpful, she explained how everything worked in the bathroom and we were able to do a load of laundry as well. She welcomed us with fresh bread and jam from a local bakery as well as champagne! She recommended a wonderful ceramics artist where we bought presents for our friends and also cooked us an amazing dinner of fresh local fish tacos which was a highlight of our whole trip! Very communicative and also did not bother us the whole time so we had our privacy as well. Highly recommend this elegant seaside house!

The log house has so much room and all the amenities we need. A great place to detach yourself from the digital world but still has the convenience of electricity, gas and clean water. 5 of us comfortably fit in the house. This was a great getaway for us.

It was kept clean and I had a comfortable stay.

This place was awesome and even though I was a solo traveller I used all the rooms. The kitchen had everything I needed to make simple meals (even proper knives) and the bathroom/ shower was spacious and clean. Ryoko was a terrific host. She was able to answer all my questions and was so helpful in every way. This was the best value place I think I have ever stayed in, across 3 countries. If you do not cope well with steep stairs (about 10, I think) then you won't like this place. My legs got a good workout using them. Great views from the top floor. Many thanks.

We had a great stay in Matsuyama. We immediately felt at home in the accommodation and it is a great starting point for exploring the city or going on day trips in the surrounding area. The accommodation also has a small gallery, which really makes it a unique experience. As noted in other reviews, the two bedrooms are only separated by a curtain, but this was not a problem for us as we were traveling as a couple. This was also recognizable in the pictures, but still a hint if you are traveling with more than two people. We can definitely recommend the accommodation and would book it again if we visit Matsuyama again!

Masao hosts a house he built with his own hands. Very homely feel. Received us himself in the evening and showed us the whole house and its facilities. A lovely, large and well maintained courtyard with flowering greenery, a fish pond. Very quiet and rural setting. Shikoku Island is just wonderful and beautiful. Highly recommend to come If there is no car, it is difficult to reach, so it is recommended for those traveling with a car

Staying at Roseanne’s place was an absolute joy. Her beautiful house was immaculate and so aesthetically pleasing. Roseanne met us when we arrived, showed us round and offered lots of recommendations and local knowledge in addition to the list she sent before we checked in. We went to Nakatsu Gorge which was stunning as well as the Shimanto River. We went to a local restaurant called Yakiniku which had the best beef we’ve ever eaten and also took a drive to eat at Chika which was an incredible Izakaya place serving up many different delicious dishes including lots of local fish. The only problem with our time in Shimanto was we didn’t stay long enough! Such a beautiful part of Japan with some of the most friendly and welcoming people we’ve met on our trip. Roseanne’s place is the perfect base to explore and then return to and really relax as well. She is a lovely host, so friendly and generous with her time and knowledge of the locality. Highly recommend!
