“Heerlijk!!”

Japanese, artistic, charming details, comfortable beds, thoughtful touches—all aimed at making guests as comfortable as possible.

“C’était parfait!”

The vibe, décor, bedding, and equipment made us feel at home after our day in Naoshima, and that feeling is rare when traveling! The house is a bit far from the port, but thanks to the owners’ inexpensive electric bikes, it’s no problem at all.

They set up a decent kitchen and the hot water shower was great, but the kerosene heaters were unnecessary since the aircon already kept us warm and they just took up space.

The hosts really cared about their guests and the area itself is absolutely worth visiting. The mix of an older Japanese house with personal touches wasn’t to our taste, especially around the house which could be tidier (doesn’t match the photos on booking). And as expected for that type of house, it was only warm in the heated bedroom and living room (at least during our early November trip).

THE only place to stay in Tamano! What a fantastic place to stay! The host is an artist and that really shows through as the house is so wonderfully eclectic. There was more than enough room for the 2 of us and at night, it was so quiet. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. There was a lounge area, and a sitting room where you could have breakfast as the sun shone through the windows. The house is separate from the hosts residence, so very private. The house is set up for a number of nights stay (we stayed for 5 nights) and nothing was missing. It was near a Family Mart (walking distance) and a restaurant just down the road that was really very good. The massage/public bath/restaurant place was just a short drive away and it was so lovely to spend an afternoon there, you really should try it. The hosts were seriously amazing, Brett (a New Zealander) and his lovely wife Sayako couldnt do enough for us, from booking restaurants, to advice on what to do and see whilst in Tamano. They were so incredibly kind, replying to any questions we had very quickly. We have travelled extensively and have never had hosts who were that helpful and kind, they genuinely care about their guests and ensure they are more than comfortable whilst staying in there. It truly is an oasis amidst the craziness of Japan and you would miss out on an opportunity to really experience the type of hospitality that Japan has to offer. Thank you Brett and Sayako, you were wonderful hosts 😊. Sad that we didnt stay longer and also we couldnt give a 20 star review 😆
