Book Kuroshio hotels

This was the best accommodation I have ever stayed at in Japan. Think of this less as a hotel and more as an opportunity to stay in their home and connect with the amazing people of Shimanto. I highly recommend waking up at sunrise to surf and then surfing all day. Afterwards I suggest a long run along the beautiful Shimanto river.

Beautifully presented, great facilities - kitchen/fridge/stove/hot water, with utensils and supplies - and excellent bathroom with spa/ excellent toilet/basin with heaps of towels. Separate bed ( Queen - bit hard) and upstairs futon room for 2-3 more people. Nice garden, quiet area, narrow drive and road entry( typical rural roads).

It was a quiet and serene place at the end of the road, by the sea with the ocean waves moving to shore below, and the sounds of a busy and noisy society far away. You could even see the stars and planets at night in the darkness.

Staff was very kind and helpful

Great host, very helpful. We stayed for 1 night during May. The cabin was very spacious and had some lovely touches, upstairs screen to stream from, free tea and coffee. The cabin is a detached building separate from the main building that has the shared bathroom in. The cabin also has no sink or toilet you have to also go into the main building which is not really clear in the description. Also be aware when booking that access to the property is via a sunken bridge (no sides or barriers) over the Shimanto River which we had to drive across after heavy rainfall.

Everything was great. Just wish they would take walk-ins for breakfast.
