Located in Hikino, ゲストハウスみちしお provides air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi. The property features sea views. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, free shuttle service and luggage storage for guests. Koji is the most generous owner and genunely welcome to help. He picked us up from the port and even picked us up from another port in the night time (we survived from the most adventurous journey - thankful to Koji!). Talk about the place: the guesthouse is cozy and warm. The shared facilities included kitchen and washing machine. The price of ramen and washing pods are the same price in the convenience store and may be cheaper. E-bikes are also provided with the cheap rate (1000 yen/day).

In the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter district of Kurashiki, close to Shinkeien Garden, 滔々 倉敷民藝館南の宿 toutou, Mingeikan Minami no Yado has free WiFi and a washing machine. The property features river and inner courtyard views, and is 8.6 km from Mizushima Ryokuchi Fukuda Park. The accommodation offers luggage storage space and a housekeeping service for guests. This was a beautiful room, very attractive design, spacious and in a perfect area for touring Kurashiki. It is exactly as pictured. The beds were comfortable and everything was immaculate. Check in was easy. Good communication with hosts, and restaurant recommendations, which was helpful. It’s not a hotel per se, and so no meals included but they provided a basket of fruit and baked goods daily and coffee, so that was perfect for breakfast. It was all we needed. The seating area has a good view over the canal so you could not be better situated.

The property features garden and quiet street views, and is 32 km from Saikon-ji Temple. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, full-day security and luggage storage for guests. WOW! This place is wonderful! One of the most beautiful places I've stayed during my month in Japan. I am only sorry I had just one night, would like to stay longer. Easy to find, all necessary amenities, fully equiped kitchen with traditional ceramics dishes and all electronic appliances you could imagine. AC heates the room well. Shower quite big. Everything spotlessly clean. Emergency food available, since there are probably no shops nearby. Drinks too. Tea & good coffee for free. Boardgames available. The house is designed in an old traditonal japanese style with tatami floors. I was amazed. It looks even much better than on the photos. The staff speaks english, which can be quite useful after an exhausting day on the bike :)

Situated 37 km from Senkoji Temple, 38 km from MOU Onomichi City University Art Museum and 38 km from Jodoji Temple, Guesthouse Farmor - Vacation STAY 15083v features accommodation located in Imabari. With free private parking, the property is 31 km from Oogamiyama Omoto Shrine and 34 km from Saikon-ji Temple. The property is non-smoking and is set 37 km from Saikokuji Temple. After a full day of cycling across the Shimanami small islands, we finally arrived at the guesthouse. I stood at the entrance near the door and said "hello" a few times, but no one came out. At the end of the room, I saw someone peacefully napping. So, I went out for a walk while waiting for the sweet nap to finish. After about 20 minutes, I came back and greeted again. A woman who looked around 60 years old came out and welcomed us with a smile. After setting everything up, I sat down in the living room and made a cup of black tea. There was some aroma placed in the cabinet, so I asked the hostess if I could try it. After she introduced the aroma, she urged us to soak to the onsen right away. The sunset over the bridge I saw during the onsen was truly amazing—a kind of magic hour. After the onsen and dinner, I returned to the guesthouse, continued enjoying my tea, and tried an aroma called "眠" (Sleep). In that moment, I experienced complete peace, as if time had paused. After spacing out for about two hours, I went to sleep. The night was a little cold. To my surprise, the next morning I saw my sleep score was 97—something I had never reached before. I felt full of energy the next day. It’s really unbelievable—the sleep quality I had there. I still haven’t been able to replicate it. Before leaving the guesthouse, we had a conversation. She said she had worked in Tokyo for about 20 years. After her parents passed away, she moved here. She honestly said there were too many people in Tokyo and she didn’t like it. She prefers the peace here. At that moment, I felt she had shown me how beautiful peace can be. And I realized that, in part of my heart, I’m the same as her. We said goodbye to the hostess and told her, "Stay healthy. We’ll come again."
