It was difficult to find the location, so I called and they told me the location smoothly. The mother and son get along well and feel at home in the Showa era. It was a single-person room with a tatami mat, and the sink, toilet, and bath were shared and kept clean. I want to go again.

I used it on a motorcycle trip.They readily accepted my request even if I contacted them on the same day.This is a homely guesthouse run by the landlady and her son.1 night without meals (3000 yen)Shared toilet/bathIt seems that he is not eating at the moment. There is a supermarket and coin laundry nearby.This is a guesthouse that I would like to come back to stay at again 😊

It's clean and has a good location, but it's okay to share the toilet,It is an ethical violation to provide a guest with a room with a toilet attached to a thin wall. Even though the owner knows, why not? !🤔

I wanted to camp at the Shimanto River during the November holidays and experience the comfort of Kochi once more, so I hurriedly looked it up on Google Maps the night before and made a reservation over the phone.They were very accommodating even though it was late at night.Unfortunately, it was a day when meals were not included, but it was a long holiday, so it was 3500 yen per person for a room without meals!I was able to have a good rest in a clean Japanese-style room with fluffy blankets.Air conditioner, TV (BS also included), and Wi-Fi available.The tray, sink, and bath are shared.The toilet has a washlet!The bath is too large for one person to use, but only family members can use it together.I used Nakamura as my base and went for various walks on my bike, including Cape Ashizuri, and they were really helpful in letting me store my camping gear before I checked in.Next time, I would like to take care of you on a day when I can have a meal.

This is the guest house where I stayed when I went to Shimanto City.I was able to relax and relax in a house that felt like I had come to visit a house in the countryside.The shared bathroom and rooms are nice and clean. I was warmly welcomed by the friendly proprietress.It is recommended as it is easily accessible and has a parking lot. Rental cycles were also available.

Unlike the guesthouses in front of the station, this is a calm, homely guesthouse located in a quiet residential area within walking distance. It's close to the center of town, so there's a large grocery store within walking distance, which is very convenient for overnight stays. Hot Mott is also nearby. This time there was no meal included, but there was no problem at all. There are many restaurants in town, but this one was cheaper and I had more time flexibility. I noticed that there were no spare outlets in the room. I had to turn off the air conditioner to charge my phone, so I thought it would have been a good idea to have an extension cord or two-pronged outlet. I brought a spare battery with me this time, so I managed to cover it. The toilet and bathroom were well maintained and felt clean and comfortable.

2022/07/14Thank you for taking care of us with a great plan that includes a Shimanto coupon 🙂There was a plan with a Shimanto coupon last year, but I didn't have a chance to stay there.However, for future reference,As of last year, the location had been confirmed to some extent.Is it because it falls under the category of [minshuku] without meals?It's a great deal compared to others🏨.Of course, compared to [hotel]The service aspect will also be simplified.That's natural😊neverthelessComes with a 3,000 yen Shimanto coupon.I can’t believe you can stay for 4000 yen 🎊!! ️Reviews on accommodation sites are generally positive.I'm also thankful that there is a bicycle rental service 🙌There were 3 of them🚲I'm originally a service worker, soAvoid busy periods such as summer vacation,I dared to stay on a weekday ← I am grateful that I can move on weekdays 😆Minshuku Koban-san does not know the details of when it was founded.You can stay cheaply with coupons and qualify for Ryoma passport stamps.I made the reservation with the intention of putting up with some inconvenience.The water area 🚰🚽🚿 is shared with other people, soWhen there are many customersIt seems like the timing may not be right.The toilets are on the 1st and 2nd floors.There are 9 rooms in total.What happens when multiple people in a group, such as a family, use the service?Is there a large room?The room I stayed in was No. 7.It's on the left side of the stairs going up to the second floor.The room was near the sink.I didn't know for a while after entering the room,There were 2 power outlets (4 in total) under the curtain.It was a compact room, soThe air conditioning worked really well👍Don't catch a cold ⚠The bathroom is on the first floor.There are two shower hoses.There's a washed face towel in the basket, and I'll let you use it.The water pressure is not strong ← It's a [minshuku] after all.What is the image of a shower in a typical home?The last time I stayed at a guesthouse in another area,There was a communal fridge in the hallway.I wonder if I can use the refrigerator in the dining room on the first floor?Sorry, I can't check here.I think I'll have some hot tea in my room.I brought water and tea,This is an announcement to let us know if you need it, so please do so in that case 😊This guesthouse is run by a mother and son who are about the same age as me.On the day I took care of you, it was just me and one other group👨,During busy seasons such as summer vacation, there will be many customers.I wanted everyone to take care of themselves and get through this.Masks and face shields are even hotter this time of year.It's hard to breathe, and it's frustrating not being able to see each other's faces.For those who know the farce of Corona,Really stupid 😫Look at me serving customers like that.I felt sorry 😣There are still people like masked police,Really a big nuisance😰I think it is difficult to attract customers when there are so many accommodation facilities.like meAs a place of relaxation for the common people,Please continue to do your best in business.Thank you very much🙇
