“cosy stay great value”
The host was proactive and reached out offering to pick up from bus stop. She was very friendly and filled me in with all the necessary info about sado island and also was kind to offer a bowl of persimmon. The bed was very comfortable and i found it difficult to wake up!

“A peaceful stay close to where wild Toki live”
The owner had lots of useful advice about places to see. I was also able to get a good night's sleep (which doesn't always happen in guest-houses).

The bed was super comfy! The landlady provided coffee and tea in the community room, that was very appreciated. She gave me a ride from and to the nearest bus station - thank you so much! Also her cats and her rose garden are very beautiful :)

“😺”
I stayed in the western style room of the house, there are also multiple rooms with tatami floors and futons. The bathroom and a lounge/kitchen are shared between guests. The owner is very helpful and friendly, she also speaks English well. On foot it takes a while to the closest bus station but you can ask to get picked up at the bus station which costs ¥100. The 4 cats are all very friendly. They walk around freely inside the house and can also enter guest rooms except at night.

“Beautiful hotel with a friendly owner”
This was such a lovely place to stay. The owner is really nice and speaks English fairly well. The room was large and very comfortable. Had our own heating and cooling. There is a communal living room that has a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, tv, karaoke machine and games you can play. There is a lot of maps and pamphlets you can look through with information about the area. Bathroom is large and clean. The cats are adorable and can’t wait to come and say good morning to you.

“Nice place to stay”
Nice place to stay on Sado Shima. Accessible by bus, the house is very clean and confortable. Will get cold in winter. Host is kind, can speak English if you need! If you are not used to futon, might be tough in the beginning

Would recommend if you like cats, peace and quiet, and have a car. We rented ours from Kigaruni in Ryotsu port. Lovely rose garden, like staying in someone's home.

Very well. Just one night but everything was so good that there was no imperfections almost. It’s the best guesthouse I’ve ever been in Niigata prefecture.

“Rosencat is fantastic.”
We’ve stayed at rosencat before. We love Heroko-san, she looks after us so well. You need to hire a car to get around Sado and Heroko-san is helpful there too. She speaks excellent English.

Extremely nice house and rooms with the best host we could imagine! Plus the friendly cats roaming the house - what else would you want? We received a pick-up from the bus and she even organized a rental car because we underestimated the challenges of getting around the island without a car. You also get tipps for sightseeing and events in the area like fireworks in the summer. We would visit again any time!

“Peaceful stay on Sado island”
A great place to stay on Sado island. Best to get a car but if you can't (we forget to get out IDP before leaving the uk) there are buses nearby and we hired bikes as well as using the ones at rosencat. Peaceful location. Comfortable futons and friendly owner :) The place is very clean too and the cats are gorgeous
