Villas in Kanonji

I had a wonderful night there. The house is spacious and clean. What I needed is well-provided. I hope to stay again in future.

Lovely 100 year old farmhouse, plenty of room for six of us, but we only used the downstairs area. We had hire cars so easy to get to and check out the local area. Host spoke English and gave us some recommendations of where to go.

Super nice building! Great views and calm area. Easy self check-in via tablet.

What a strange little gem. We were very impressed. The house is built from containers, but is impressively usable. Well equipped, both in the kitchen, terrace and beach equipment. Cozy little quiet town. Shopping and restaurants are a little bit of a distance away, so do your shopping on the way there and enjoy the house, view and beach. Highly recommendable. Nice and friendly host.

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.

The house is a classic style Japanese house with all modern comfort. It is great! Large kitchen. Large bathroom. Large dining room with cosy dining corner and table. 2toilets, 4 huge bedrooms, with tatami mats and beds. . They can adapt the bedrooms to the number of guests. Laundry machine available and kitchen and bathroom full with bottles and products that you can use. Fully equipped kitchen. We loved the place. All very comfortable, stylish and cosy. Located along a quiet road in the rural countryside between farmlands. We regretted that we only stayed there 1 night. We would have loved to relax a day at this property and done some nice strolls around the house. All was also very clean.
