Free bike rental and free surf board rental, 7min from the Beach by walk. Besides the beach is quiet and heavenly. The check-in was so smooth and intuitive. Safe and super clean. Massive kictchen to cook and share with others, grocery shop very close, with affordable Wagyu beef ! If you want to feel the surf vibe in Japan, this is a go to place !! Taka and Reo (managers) are so friendly and helpful, ask them anything. Big big plus : Reo is american and really flexible, and Taka is an Izakaya Chef (you won’t even need to speak japanese to bond with him) Taka San (the owner) is the local Kelly Slater and he can teach you surf. He lives next door with Shuko San and his lovely family. They are friendly and so open minded. They offered me the most authentic experience of my one-month trip in Japan. I strongly recommend this place P.S : I wish I had a house like theirs

This guesthouse is a hidden gem in a remote location, peaceful and surrounded by nature. The detached ocean view camping style room was a highlight, letting me fall asleep to the sound of waves and wake up to a stunning sea view. Right in front of the guesthouse there is a small island, and you can even swim directly in the ocean which was such a rare and unforgettable experience. The guesthouse itself is simple and cozy, and the nearby hotel provides access to excellent facilities including an onsen and BBQ. Being able to relax in the hot spring after a swim and enjoy a BBQ dinner made the stay complete. The remote setting, the unique ocean view room, the chance to swim in front of the island, and the nearby hotel’s facilities all come together to make this a true 10 out of 10 experience. I would happily return.

I loved everything! The guest house was extremely clean and the personnel super nice and welcoming! They kept our suitcases for us even after the check-out, and also gave us service nuts for our drinks! The position was amazing, we were in front of a temple and the beach! I will go back for sure!

Excellent location - right next to the Sakura tunnel. You can enjoy it at night and slowly make your way back to the station the next day. It's a Japanese style house so it is very cosy and calming. The cat is also adorable and friendly (though you can't normally touch him) There is air conditioning and we also got a big hot water bottle and it was amazing to cuddle it at night! There was also some spring water(?) available to drink. The owner is able to explain all amenities in English so I didn't have to turn on my Japanese speaking part of my brain. She also gave some recommendations on where to go. Asami is an excellent host 👍 I wish i could come here again.

    The host is a very enthusiastic person, with an interesting soul and a kind heart. When we checked in, we encountered some difficulties, and the owner was very enthusiastic to help solve them. Thank you very much. The homestay is very clean, and the host has done everything himself. It turns out that the landlord is working very hard! Like it 👍
