The accommodation is ideal for solo travellers as myself but also for couples or friends. You check-in with Jun-san at their izakaya and then you get autonomously to the house, with well-equipped kitchen, free bicycle and washing machine for a super fair price. The beds were very comfortable with termoblanket if needed. The location is great to explore the heart of Shikoku. Would definitely go back!

Great traditional lifestyle experience in a beautiful valley. Shino san is an amazing host who really makes you feel welcome at his home. Can't recommend it enough unless you are bothered by things that come with old countryside living like cold rooms and manual flushing toilets but to me those were just part of the experience.
Located right by the Oboke Gorge, Obokekyo Mannaka offers accommodations with free Wi-Fi and Japanese Yukata robes.

I had an incredible experience at Iya Onsen. The view from the hotel is absolutely breathtaking, offering a perfect backdrop for a relaxing stay. The onsen is wonderful, providing a serene and rejuvenating experience that I thoroughly enjoyed.
The food was delicious, and the variety of dishes left me very satisfied. The staff were exceptionally friendly and grateful, always ensuring that my needs were met and making me feel very welcome.
To say the Iya valley is beautiful would be an understatement. The vine bridges, the scarecrow village and gorges are pretty much all you'll hear about and for good reason. They're the main attraction and the reason people go. It's all about the nature and a handful of curiosities like the Yokai museum.
While not the tourist powerhouse of big cities like Kyoto, it does kind of live off of its "in the know" tourists. A new generation of younger entrepreneurs are trying to revitalize the area and transform it into something more in line with their modern sensibilities.
Travel is not easy and requires a lot of planning and preparation. Buses are extremely rare and trains as well. Bad weather can throw a wrench into your plans and mess up everything. Renting a car almost a must in order to visit the more far away spots, but a strong and experienced cyclists could probably do it - maybe. Those hills and mountains aren't always easy! And those trucks get a bit scary.
I stayed in Ikeda-cho, one of the bigger areas of Miyoshi city but still a bit of a one horse town.
But one thing is has going for it is that you can follow the Yoshino river for an 80km ride into Tokushima city. On a nice day, it's one of the best bike rides you could do.

Miyoshi is great.
Miyoshi is great. Spread over quite a few km, this area has so much to offer. I loved the historic elements as well as the scenery/ geography. Most restaurants focus on fresh local produce, and spot on for flavour and quality !

Beautiful & amazing place, The rare grand landscape of the mountains and waters in Japan!!! There are many interesting places hide in the deep mountains, waiting for you to discover, it is a place worth spending a few days to slowly experience and play! And if you hate crowding with many tourists, this is definitely a great choice.
This hotel is well located for the sights of Iya Valley. The vine bridge is just one km away, and the hotel offers a free shuttle. The rooms are pleasant and comfortable. There are 2 onset options, one on the 3rd floor and the other up the mountain and reached by private monorail, a unique experience. Japanese style meals are served in the large dining room and are included. (There are a la carte options) The service was excellent, especially the English speaking Mr Okada. In summary, I would highly recommend it.
Great experience! Loved everything including the wood chopping, making the fire beneath the rice and bath, and making rice balls. Saw shooting stars as we relaxed outside after a fabulous dinner. Shino San could not have been more attentive to our every need. Nick really enjoyed sampling sakes from all regions of Japan. Sorry not to contribute a bottle! We will send our daughter with an offering to your sake collection.
Note that this is rustic accommodation with a composting toilet.
Everything. Staff were friendly and attentive including valet parking service. Hotel was a lovely building in a beautiful setting. Rooms were clean and spacious, staff will make your beds up whilst at dinner. Dinner and breakfast were both outstanding, a delicious selection of traditional and locally sourced japanese cuisine in a very aesthetic room. We only used the outdoor onsen which you take the funicular to. It was clean with beautiful views and not busy during our visit.
I booked there one week before leaving Japan since I never went to an Onsen. It is definitely not the regular kind of onsen and more of the high end kind. the food was original and tasteful (both evening and breakfast) both the indoor and the outside bath were beautiful and the staff was speaking good english.
If you are tall, notify them, they had to change my Kimono since they did not expect me to be this tall (over 178cm you should probably tell them).
First, I went to check in at their restaurant (HESO SALON, which btw I highly recommend, I had dinner there), then I walked to the HESO CAMP (just 10 mins away on foot). It's a beautiful traditional Japanese house. I had a huge room to myself, it was perfectly clean and I slept like a baby. The innkeeper, whom I met a the restaurant) is very friendly, helpful and also speaks great English. Very positive experience, great value for money!
Great location to visit Iya Valley (just need to catch the JR train a couple of stops to Oboke). Nice, traditional guesthouse 10 mins walk from town/train station. You can use bikes for free to ride into town (only 5 min ride to a big supermarket).
Air-conditioning in the room and we also had a small balcony. Can use washing machine for free and we dried everything outside.
Beds were fairly comfortable for Japanese style.
the tatami style room was fabulous: clean, comfortable. we experienced a beautiful part of Japan in this lovely ryokan; but please be respectful if you stay here as the staff speak minimal English which makes the stay an authentic one (our son interpreted for us )—- the staff are the best part of the stay!!! so welcoming and kind.
I particularly like the interior decor of the room. It is new and modern and yet retain some Japanese elements, like a tatami floor in the sitting area. It is clean and attends to details such as providing a lot of sockets for electrical appliances. It is conveniently located in the Oboke region
Great place! Good location - close to two bus stops, some major attractions and small shops and restaurant.
Rooms are spacious and very clean. Bath is also very nice to use.
Food is fantastic, one of the best I’ve had in Japan.
The owner is super nice and helpful.
An amazing location, large rooms, clean and comfortable. very iconic Japanese hotel. The outdoor baths were very pleasant and a highlight of the stay, as was the opportunity to use the hotel’s e bikes for a ride through the area. one of our best stays in Japan.
Located in a quiet but accessible neighbourhood, this beautiful ryokan offers free Wi-Fi, a beautiful private bath, very comfy japanese style beds and very clean rooms. The staff and owner go above and beyond to make sure your stay is as comfortable as can be.
The dining area was very atmospheric. It was probably the best hotel dinner we've had in Japan. The service was excellent, and the hotel owner came out to sing a song during dinner, which was lovely. Also, the spa (onsen) was wonderful.
Great onsen facilities which weren't too busy. Tasty, large buffet breakfast. Stayed in Japanese style tatami room and beds were pre-made, had a small backroom as well with seating area. Fridge and kettle in room. Free parking in front.
Dinner was outstanding. - worth staying here just for the food. The host was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The room was traditional Japanese - lovely, but sleeping on a futon still takes some getting used to.
The food was excellent. Their dinner was above expectation as was breakfast. We also enjoyed both the private and shared onsen space and the traditional Japanese games you could borrow on the first floor.
Shino-san’s home is one of the most fascinating and gorgeous places I’ve ever stayed. The wood fired hot tub, the traditional Japanese hearth, the view, the decor and the location are all wonderful.
The 4SStay Ikeda crew runs a great shop! The (Japanese style) room was spacious and fine. We loved the 4SStay coffee shop/restaurant on the ground floor. Terrific crew and great service!
