Villas in Imabari

Excellent location with a very helpful and responsive host. The property was very clean and the furniture was comfortable. If you love minions you’re going to get on great with this cosy house.

We love this place! It's one of the most favourite places my boyfriend and I have been staying in this 3-weeks road trip in Japan :) The modern adaptation and design of a traditional Japanese house is super nice! Everything is clean and tidy as well!

Loved everything about this place! Firstly, it’s a lovely older Japanese house that’s kept its old charm but has a modern and fully stocked kitchen. The owners, Ray and Akira, speak English and are the kindest souls. There’s sliding screens with modern anime style prints, a Harry Potter chess set and other sweet little quirks. But the best pet is walking up to see the sea and mountains covered in mist.

This is a journey back to nature. If you want to be immersed in nature and be away from city life and the digital world, this provides a great getaway. Sitting on the verandah waiting for the sunrise every morning freshens your mind and senses. After that, take a walk in the vicinity and you see an old shrine and a path up the hills, igniting the adventure in us. Lastly, try the coffee made from the coffee machine. And go around the area to find the treasures the place can offer.

View, terrace, bbq, room, friendliness of the staff!

We loved this House and the location is unique! The pictures of this property are exactly as the property it is. To be honest we could not believe how beautiful the view was the following morning, even while the rain was coming down in buckets. We were cycling from Onomichi (the Shimanami Kaido cycling road) and as we arrived on Ikuchi island we were recommended by the host even a place to eat out in Sedato town. The host was accommodating and answered promptly. We got a bit lost in trying to find the house due to the fact it was dark and it was raining. When we arrived we were very pleased to see that the host left some food in the kitchen and drinks in the fridge. But what left us speechless was their kindness. We arrived later than we originally wanted and we were soaked from the rain. I messaged the host to let them know we found the property and we arrived. They went to the trouble of going to the KFC 30 min away and brought us dinner. We had never had anyone do that for us anywhere we stayed before. They brought us ponchos as well! We were speechless with the care and hospitality received. There was Coke cola, water and fruit juice in the fridge left for us. As well as noodle pots, butter, jam, and bread. There is bread bread-making machine and we saw the kit left and instructions so we could make our bread. Since the shops are not within walkable distance there is a cabinet right next to the front door as you walk in which has a sign on it saying SHOP. You can take anything out of the cabinet and put the money in a little container left on top of the cabinet. We loved our stay and we decided next time we went back to Japan, we would book for more than one night. A few days would just be amazing to chill in this home on the waterfront.
