Myozai District : locations de vacances

Ikuko's house was lovely and huge. We arrived late in the evening - Ikuko was waiting for us - really appreciated it. We slept in the main house ( second floor) - the futon and beds are very comfortable! Izakaya and convenience stores were nearby. Lovely little town to explore on foot. The annex house at the back was also cosy with tatami - good for relaxing during the day. Need a car to come here.

とても素敵な宿でした

The house Bando Shoten is an exquisite expression of Noriko's design vision, in which the spirit of indigo is woven throughout into the fabric of a beautiful traditional Japanese house. Etsuko is a living treasure and great repository of knowledge regarding the cultivation, fermentation and meaning of indigo and its place in the larger scheme of life. Iwamoto is a wonderful host, who collected us from the station and translated for us, and helped us by anticipating and guiding us to what we needed in Yoshinogawa. The spaces are large, gracious, and filled with fascinating objects. This was the most immersed in Japanese life we have felt during our time here. It is a home full of history and art. The town is quiet and off the beaten track, but is home to the marvelous Awagami paper factory, another treasure in this enchanting corner of Japan. Highly recommended.

とても清潔なお部屋でした。ホストの方も優しく説明していただきました。キッチンもとても充実しており、活用させていただけました。快適な宿泊でした。ありがとうございました。

Great clean place, value for money. 24/7 supermarket on the other side of the street. Superb (and cheap) Japanese restaurant at 200m. Great host as well!

Nous avons mis un peu de temps à trouver le logement, mais Isa nous avait transmis des photos qui nous ont beaucoup aidé. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la cuisine commune qui a tout ce qu’il faut et le café proposé. C’est un très bon rapport qualité prix! Parfait pour une petite halte lors d’un trip sur Shikoku.

I stayed at HS Japan in Awa-Shi for one night as a pilgrim on the Shikoku Henro trail, and it was my very first overnight stop on the route. The location is very convenient—just about 2 km from Temple No. 10, Kirihataji. The host, Isa, is incredibly kind and always smiling, which made me feel truly welcome. The place itself is spotlessly clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything a pilgrim might need. I couldn’t have asked for a better start to my pilgrimage.

I highly recommend staying at Noriko's house. It was the best experience of my trip to Japan. I felt at home with my dear and sweet Kamecha, always very kind teaching me her knowledge about indigo. Naoki was always very kind and helped me a lot with a problem I had with my car. The house has a very authentic Japanese style with good taste in decoration and many antique pieces. Very cozy and comfortable. Noriko was always very helpful and kind with messages as she was in Tokyo. Just five minute far by car there’s an amazing onsen with a view to the river and waterfall. I hope to come back there soon as they are like my family in Japan.
