“Quirky yet comfortable stay”

Large bedrooms, well renovated, lovely bathroom and extras.

“Good location, very beautiful old house but more suited to 2-3 people not 5”

Beds were really comfortable, bathroom was lovely

This place is beautiful! A renovated apartment in a traditional Japanese building - it has been beautifully renovated and has all the comforts you could need. A really stunning place to stay. I wish I had stayed for more than one night!

“All good”

The Place

Clean, modern, tastefully done.

“Well equipped apartment close enough to Iya and Okoke, a few gotchas tho.”

For a start, it's on this site and friendly to western tourists, which is a bit of a rarity in this part of Japan. We actually stayed here to visit Oboke and Iya valley - there wasn't anything closer we could find with availability. The apartment is a charming folk house restoration/conversion. It's well equipped, especially in the bathroom, which along with an auto filling Japanese bathtub included multiple Dyson hair styling accessories. The beds were firm but comfortable, and the bedrooms are quite spacious. There's split system A/C up and down stairs to keep the place cool/warm. Its about 3 mins walk to the covered shopping street where most of the restaurants are, maybe 10 from the train station. There's also a car space but its in a lot 3 doors down.

“Would recommend to anyone seeking an authentic experience”

Compact but authentic . Would liked to have stayed longer

“A unique style of modern accommodation with a little taste of traditional Japan”

We particularly liked the style of the accommodation which was a mix of traditional and modern. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay had been thoughtfully provided.

“Nice place to stay in Shikoku”

Great combination of the old building and good facilities (e.g. bath, airco). Close to Iya valley and acces to the highway to drive to other parts of Shikoku.

“We absolutely loved our stay!”

We loved the accommodation. It was beautiful staying in a traditional building with history. The bath and it’s view were especially wonderful. A wonderful experience.

“Well located, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed staying in this piece of Awa-Ikeda architectural history.”

Loved the bathroom and pot bath. Access to outside garden. Loved dining table and chairs as well as lounge chairs. Kitchen easy to use. Daily fresh towels were appreciated.

“Excellent!”

The environment is excellent , the accommodation is supber! Good fit for 2 families!

Modern, well designed and luxurious. Even came with snacks.

“A wonderful, restful place with accommodating staff.”

The staff at 4S Stay were very accommodating. Because my partner and I arrived late, they communicated with us ahead of time and insured that we had information for entering the property and parking without needing to stop by their main hotel for check-in. The amenities were fantastic, and the whole place was spotless.
