“Very kind and accommodating hosts.”

Excellent host and location for accessing the bike path on the islands. Has some space to securely park your bike as well. They also allowed us to leave our luggage with them early and after check out.

The hosts were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had everything we needed and were told about the lovely local onsen and places to eat nearby.

“We were very happy to stay at Tonari.”

The owners were very friendly. Everything was tidy and shared showers and toilets were very clean. Also the shared kitchen was clean.

The couple owners are very helpful. It's raining on the day we depart and the lady boss was very kind by providing us a plastic bag and helping us to wrap our bag so that it doesn't get wet. We're extremely grateful for the care and kindness of the owners.

“Fantastic”

Loved our night here. Taka and his partner are so lovely and welcoming. We stayed in the private double - perfect for a night while cycling. It had been a while since we stayed somewhere with shared bathroom facilities. They were spotless and no need to wait at any point. Would happily stay again.

“Lovely middle stop for shimanami kaido”

Super convenient, had a room with bathroom all to ourselves for 3 people. Owners were so lovely, they promptly helped us to check in and also dry our shoes and wash/dry our clothes after an intense day of cycling in the rain!

The room is clean.

“Cosy and welcoming stay”

We loved staying at tonari, the owners were so friendly and welcoming, helping us to dry our clothes and shoes from the rain and warming our room before our arrival. Cosy rooms and nice area with great pizza restaurant and bakery.

Hosts are amazing, is super clean and my semi-private room was perfect.

Clean, great staff, fair value

Staff were awesome and very helpful.

“Exceeded expectations in every way! The space was roomy and the staff were friendly and helpful!”

Tonari Guesthouse was beyond what we expected by a mile! Doing the Shimanami Kaido, we were thinking we might have to stay in a bit of an older place pretty far from the main route, but this place was right on the Island Explorer line and is newly renovated, open and bright, and roomy. Not to mention the staff were so kind and were waiting to greet us as we rolled up on our bikes, gave us a full tour, and even handled our laundry for us! Talk about premium service! I've done the Shimanami Kaido twice now and tonari was by far the more comfortable and enjoyable stay. I highly recommend for singles, couples, and families! We were five family members and shared the big room and had plenty of space for all of us. Thanks tonari!

“Exceeded our expectations.”

The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. They also offered a laundry service and support to dry our wet cycling gear. We also went to a local restaurant recommended by the host, Kuroshio, which was excellent.

The location was great as we were headed towards the Oyamazumi Shrine with bicycles. The staff was nice and welcoming, and gave us a great recommendation for a nearby restaurant.

“Very comfortable and cosy stay.”

Very comfortable room after a day of cycling in the rain.

“Wish we could’ve stayed longer!”

Beautiful location. Nice and clean, very comfortable. Staff are very lovely!

“A traditional stay in a good bike-riders location.”

Location was rural and quiet, it was recently renovated so facilities were good and functioned well, we coped with the many instructions.

“Perfect stay, no complaints”

Great stay, perfect location, friendly hosts

Staff are very helpful and accommodating.

“Exceptional guesthouse and kind hosts”

The house was very clean, it had a well equipped and modern kitchen, comfortable bathroom and beds. It had a small garage where we stored our bicycles. It looks better in person than in the pictures in my opinion. Our hosts were the most welcoming and nice I have ever seen in any guesthouse, they helped us with everything we needed and even more. We are very grateful for them making us feel so comfortable.
