Quiet little place in a quiet town. Very homely place and comfortable. Clean too! Booked a private room so there was more privacy. Shared bathroom was clean.

Nice Guest house at Tokawa station in Kochi, Shikoku. Pictures show the place well and I really liked the atmossphere there. Out of the way of the major tourist destinations so you get some peace and quiet. I liked the friendliness of the owner...
