Holiday Rentals in Miyoshi

Open-air onsen (hot spring) bath via cable car access & ability to book an open-air onsen privately. Very friendly staff and service.

After a busy week exploring Japan’s major cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, my father, uncle, and I were looking for a quieter, more authentic experience—and this beautiful traditional guesthouse in Miyoshi, Shikoku, turned out to be the perfect choice. The house is a charming two-bedroom traditional Japanese home with tatami rooms that truly capture the spirit of old Japan. I’ve stayed in similar homes before and always loved their unique atmosphere, but for my father and uncle, who were visiting Japan for the first time, it was both a fascinating and fun experience. Since we’re a tall family, adapting to the lower door frames, smaller room heights, and the cozy, compact design of the house added an extra layer of adventure. It was a great way to experience firsthand how people lived in the past and to appreciate the traditions and culture behind this style of living. The house itself was very clean, cozy, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The small garden added a peaceful touch, and the kitchen made preparing meals easy whenever we didn’t feel like eating out. The owner was incredibly kind and responsive, always quick to answer our messages and provide anything we asked for. Miyoshi is a quiet town, but it has everything necessary for a convenient stay—two large supermarkets, several restaurants, and even a Lawson convenience store just around the corner. I highly recommend renting a car to explore the surrounding area, as Shikoku’s natural beauty—with its mountains, rivers, valleys, and temples—is best experienced at your own pace. In the end, what makes this house truly special is its calm atmosphere. It’s not a place filled with distractions, but rather a peaceful and comfortable space waiting to be filled with life, laughter, and meaningful memories. Whether you visit with friends or family, this guesthouse offers the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect, and experience a more authentic and heartfelt side of Japan.

clean & spacious room helpful & polite staff

I absolutely loved my stay! The manager of the property was really friendly and informative, even when there's no staff on site (had to go to Heso salon to check in), it was all very easy and clear. The house itself is spacious, clean, and well-equipped. It could get as cold as 6 degrees but I had no problem falling asleep. Heaters and heating blankets were available. Ask about the co-working space if you need to work. I didn't want to leave but the journey must continue. Thank you so much!

Great hotspring hotel in a beautiful area. Exceptionally helpful staff, quiet room with river/forest view, and relaxing hotspring. Also convenience store and Montbell outdoor shop down the road. Staff were above-and-beyond friendly and helpful.

Modern, well designed and luxurious. Even came with snacks.

Very simple yet lovely house. cosy, welcoming, clean and well organised. quiet area

The host was friendly and helpful. The guesthouse was in a fantastic location.

Everything. Check-in was smooth, rooms were decently big enough with cute chairs in the room. Each room even has a filter coffee brewing kit with hand grinders and beans!! First time I've ever seen this. They have communal baths, but also 4 private baths. There is no reservation required and you simply go in when it's empty. Each of the 4 has different decor/themes so I highly recommend checking them all out. They also have various coloured yukata for both men and women to pick! No more boring blue yukatas. It's absolutely fantastic. Meals were a major highlight of the stay. Each little dish was so prefectly cooked with great balance of flavours. The waitress attending to us was also super friendly. In my two weeks in Japan, this is definitely top 3 in all the meals I had. I'm definitely coming back to stay. I recommend 2 night stay at least to fully enjoy the facilities. Or at least a full 2 days 1 night.

Everything! Please try and stay for at least 2 nights.
