Monthly Rentals in Toon

Okaidou was especially close, so I had fun.

Staying in this beautiful cabin was a highlight of our time in Japan and an unforgettable experience! The area is beautiful with an expansive view over the town of Kumakogen, wonderful walking trails, and unique stargazing. I will highlight two features: (1) The area is accessible even without a car. There is a bus from Matsuyama that takes you to Kumakogan, and the host very kindly drove us from the bus stop (2) The cabin has a well-stocked kitchen with all sorts of pots and utensils, so it's easy enough to cook your own meals by purchasing supplies at the local supermarket (across the street from the Kumakogan bus stop) before driving up to the cabin. The most remarkable feature of this cabin is the host himself. We had a wonderful time speaking with him (with the help of Google translate!) and learned so much from his joyful spirit, travel stories, and positive outlook on life. We hope to return in the future so that we can appreciate the stunning scenery in another season!

If you are looking for a very quiet and peaceful environment with Very Japanese like house, this is the place for the stay. You need a car to get it, but worth staying for the quiet night and pretty yard.

We had a wonderful time at Saijo with Taka as a perfect host. The cabin is very spacious and equipped with everything you will need to stay for a few days or more. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor bath and benefitted from Taka's recommendations for sightseeing in the area. Taka offered to pick us up from Saijo station but we had our own rented car which made it much easier to get around in the area. (The last section of the road to the house is very narrow, so it's recommended to arrive during the daytime.) If you have time and travel through this part of Shikoku, we greatly recommend staying at Taka's cabin! :)
