Lodges in Hata District

"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"

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

"We had a wonderful stay. The staff were very helpful and friendly and remembered us when we came back for a second time. We were able to safely store our two bikes in their office which was very important to us. Nothing was too much trouble. The location was great and close to restaurants. Highly recommend!"

"Absolutely amazing. Worth a visit. The onsen is excellent, although it requires a short walk, the view is stunning. Breakfast is excellent as well."
