Self Catering Accommodation in Shodoshima

To me at the age of 80 this is the new kind of accommodation (unlike traditional hotel or ryokan in Japan) which meets our requirements. Being a self contained lodge with all necessary facilities such as washing/dry machine and fully equipped kitchen we did't miss anything more. Since it was a low season many of local restaurants were not fully open, so self catering is good to go.

Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Shodoshima Island, 西の家 provided our family with an enchanting retreat. Its convenient location, just a stone's throw from Olive Park, offered easy access to tranquil strolls amidst verdant greenery. Upon entering the property, we were immediately captivated by the meticulously manicured garden, a testament to the owners' unwavering dedication to preserving the beauty of 西の家. Stepping into our spacious traditional tatami room, we were transported into a realm of cultural immersion, where the essence of Japanese hospitality seamlessly blended with modern conveniences. The room was not only aesthetically pleasing but also impeccably clean, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic stay. The epitome of Japanese hospitality, the hosts at 西の家 went above and beyond to make our stay truly exceptional. Their prompt and informative responses to our inquiries, even before our arrival, set the stage for an unforgettable experience. They even helped us to book a delectable dinner at a nearby restaurant, introducing us to the culinary delights of Shodoshima. Their genuine warmth and attentiveness made us feel like cherished guests rather than mere visitors. Knowing they lived nearby provided an added layer of comfort, as we were assured of their assistance if needed. The harmonious blend of tranquility, cultural immersion, and convenient access to local attractions like Olive Park made 西の家 a haven for those seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We cherished every moment spent amidst the serene surroundings, creating memories that will forever be etched in our hearts. Eager to return to this haven of tranquility, I wholeheartedly recommend 西の家 to anyone seeking an authentic and unforgettable travel experience.

Interconnected space with island kitchen

Clean, spacious, quiet at night, good facilities, very comfortable bed and pillow.

What a find this hotel is-set in a lovely picturesque quiet village of Yoshida- the hotel which comprises nine floors has only got 16 accommodation units, each is like a mini apartment with stunning views. The staff could not have been more helpful they went out of their way to make our visit memorable.. My wife and I are both vegetarian and they made a real effort to cook a special breakfast for us every morning and a beautiful evening meal. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

Location. We'll presented unit. Great beds. Great coffee shop in front with lovely host, Chia. Makes great bread If traveling from takamatsu get direct ferry to Sakate port to avoid an hour long bus trip from other side of island.
