Monthly Rentals in Yusuhara, Takaoka District

We stayed at Mori’s place for 8 nights and had the most amazing time. It is a lovely cabin in the forest, very peaceful, with only the sound of the birds. The cabin is cosy, with good hot and cold AC, and lots of blankets. There is a lovely bath. Mori made the cabin himself, it’s amazing! The cabin is right on the Shikoku pilgrimage trail, with lots of options of walks through the forest from the door. We walked to Temple 44 in just under an hour, and into Kumakogen to a cafe (Kuma Cafe, which was great). There is a good supermarket in Kumakogen where you can get all of your supplies. You can get to the cabin on the bus from Matsuyama JR station, it was really easy. Then Mori was kind enough to pick us up from Kumakogen. Mori was the most friendly and generous host. He invited us for coffee, and took us on some amazing trips to see the local area - Temple 45 + Omogo Gorge. You won’t find a kinder air bnb host! Thank you so much for your generosity and hospitality! We will be back!

We would really recommend staying here- Taka is a very kind host and the house and facilities are great! The bed is very comfy, the kitchen is clean and we really enjoyed using the outdoor bath and being surrounded by nature!

Minmi’s the perfect host. She really made me feel at home and provided nice recommendations. She even picked me up from the nearby train station. Her restaurant was closed, nevertheless she offered me fish and homemade orange juice!

We stayed at Rosie’s AirB &B (a traditional Japanese house around 10 mins’ drive from Shimanto Town) for 6 nights. While it retains the beautiful Japanese style, the house is spacious and comfortable, and equipped with almost everything a modern house has. The location is perfect for exploring interesting spots around Shimanto and at the southern end of the island. Rosie was very helpful whenever we needed her help; and things are well labeled in the house. Definitely, a great place to stay!
