Holiday rentals in Minami, Kaifu District

Super friendly and helpful host who walked us from the train station to his gorgeous house for easy orientation. You will fall asleep to frog sounds in a cozy clean bed and wake up to a sunny balcony. Very easy to feel welcome here, thank you!

Kunikata -san was a professional and gracious host. She sent clear instructions before arrival, including a tip about getting food beforehand as it was a Sunday. When I left, she advised me on where to pick up dinner as my next location wouldn't have any. The house is super well kept and has a number of antiques on display. Finally, the room was spacious and had tasteful decor. Also, her breakfast is not to be missed! Highly recommend staying at Mitsuka.

Ce logement est un endroit surprenant et insolite à l’autre bout du monde. Nous avons adoré! Ça dépend du type de voyageur que vous êtes. C’est un beau logement avec une architecture magnifique. C’est un endroit où l’art est présent, comme une galerie, une bibliothèque, un peu bohème mais tout est impeccable. C’est la mer, les cultivateurs d’algues à côté. Autour c’est un village calme avec des structures désaffectées qui donnent une ambiance de film. C’est un réel coup de cœur! L’hôte nous a accueilli avec un matcha. Il était impliqué et discret. Nous lui avons même acheté une œuvre d’art. Pour voyageurs qui cherchent des expériences et des ambiances originales. Pour ceux qui veulent prendre un moment off du tourisme de masse.

I based myself at Aratano, Yuki’s guest house, Namazu, with the intention to explore Tokushima prefecture. Extremely close to the train station, very nice hiking itineraries in the area, a free bike to rent for the day — location was overall quite convenient ! Yuki was incredibly kind, even though my japanese sucks at this point (as I literally just arrived for a full year ahead), he invited me to local events, I met amazing people thanks to him, I had the opportunity to do many things beside the pilgrimage : bamboo shoot harvesting, local curry tasting, kayaking… I was lucky enough to have a taste of one of his many fishing sessions 🐟. It was absolutely amazing, and the food was to die for ! So if you’re looking for a wholesome japanese countryside life — this is the place to go ! I had a wonderful time and already planned to come back this summer for the festivals and fireworks period. 何から何までありがとうございました!! 🙂‍↕️🙏🏼🌸

Had a wonderful stay with Takayama-san. For walking henro, the pickup from Katsuura at the foot of Kakurinji is very convenient. Highly recommend taking the meal offer. Mitsuko-san was very accommodating to my vegetable-focused meal request and confirmed whether ingredients such as eggs and fish were OK. The house has a lot of history, with various antiques and a garden. If you go in June, the biwa tree will have fruit to taste. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy a space that has both legacy and tastefully designed modernisations. Have a read through their welcome package before arriving. It's very well prepared by Sayaka-san and will help you enjoy your stay to the fullest. 歴史のある家。 高山さんはうち内の絵画や骨董品について説明してくれた。 食事付きの滞在を強く勧める。 自家製のソースや地元の食材を使った料理もある。 おへんろさんは勝浦のJAスーパー（遍路の道隣り）まで送達できる。

This is a great place to stay if your on the pilgrimage, very clean and comfortable. also has a beautiful view for ocean sunsets.

オーナーさんはとてもエネルギッシュで福井の観光地について色々と教えてくれました。 部屋もとても過ごしやすく快適でした。

We had such a magical experience staying at the Bando-Shoten guest house. It is gorgeous and so well designed with authentic features yet so comfortable. The tatami rooms were dreamy, and we did the indigo dyeing experience with our family which was awesome. The kids and I loved it and we have special souvenirs now. We also had the irori meal in the special room. The fire was prepared and the pot hangs from the roof by a rope and we had delicious fresh vegetables and broth and meats and seafood. And tried some local plum wine! We highly recommend a stay here if you can, to truly have a boutique yet authentically Japanese stay in a small town by a river. Thank you!
