Being back after 10 years, it was wonderful to see that Minshuku Sokodo-so is still the same warm and welcoming family-run gem I remember.
The food was, once again, a highlight of our stay. The breakfast and especially the dinner were absolutely excellent, with every dish made from fresh, local ingredients. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to the family explain each of the regional specialties—it made the meals even more special.
Our tatami room was beautiful and comfortable, and we loved the stunning garden. The location is perfect, just a stone's throw from the beach.
The family's communication was incredibly heartfelt, and we really appreciated being able to rent their e-bikes to explore the island also above the water.
Thank you so much for another...
