Monthly Rentals in Tonosho, Shozu District

Very comfortable whole apartment in a good and quiet location. The apartment is very well furnished in traditional Japanese style, has a full kitchen, a modern washing machine, a comfortable bathroom. Everything is of excellent standard and well maintained. I can only recommend it. Communication went smooth with hosts. Reply time was excellent. Personally however would have preferred personal contact not anonymously via AirBnB. For Western guests a real chair and a high table would be appreciated.

This apartment is a real treasure!Gorgeous house in old Japanese style with great charm. And the sea is right outside the front door. The host Yamachan is very friendly and has a very cozy cafe next door. The family spontaneously invited us to the inauguration of the homemade pizza oven. Really wonderful people! Anyone who comes to Shodoshima should stay here.

The house reflects a traditional Japanese aesthetic and is located in a small, peaceful fishing hamlet. It offers non-Japanese visitors in particular an experiential glimpse into the everyday living environment of Japanese households from the post-WWII era, but with a few strategic updates that help ensure a restful stay. The kitchen is well-equipped and even includes a blender and seed grinder—rarities in Japan. There is an air conditioner/heater and an air purifier. There’s also a small yard and garden area where you can laze away the mornings over a cuppa and a good book. Anshang-sensei is a polite, professional, responsive, friendly, insightful, and helpful host and property manager. The property is strictly for guests staying there, and yet she seamlessly answers questions and helps solve problems as if she were right there with you. Wi-Fi is sufficient and stable. Were we to return to the island, we would stay here again. Thank you so much for hosting us!

This is by far the most wonderful Airbnb experience I’ve had in Japan. The place used to be an old tea house, so it’s exquisitely decorated with traditional elegance while being extremely clean. It’s very spacious, and you’ll see all the details in every corner. There’s camellia, cherry blossom, and Japanese maple in the garden; the kitchen ware was of high quality, and the tatami and futon was very comfortable. We spent two nights here; every time we made it back to this place, we felt like going home and we especially enjoyed having each other’s company in the living room. The staff, Akari, not only was very responsive, but was so very kind in supporting us in communicating with the locals. The guide book was very helpful; we got to have a delicious breakfast as well as watching the sunset at a hot bath. Overall, I highly recommend this place and would definitely want to stay here again :)
