Approximately 2 km in circumference, where the Shimanto River, weaving through the mountains, meets the Yusuhara River at ‘Taisho’. Once bustling with forestry, it was a thriving town, now a bygone era. Today, it’s a quiet town with few pedestrians. Despite its size, there are many attractions, including the Kumano Shrine, said to have been established during the Kamakura period, and the famous chestnut shochu, Mute Mukan. Surrounded by mountains, the town’s scent of hinoki cypress is soothing just by walking through. Having moved to Taisho, captivated by its charm, why not take a walk with me, Yusuke Ono? Let’s chat with the locals, watch the river, and enjoy the slow flow of time.
Just a 10-second walk from JR Tosa-Taisho Station. The rooms feature ample use of local cedar and cypress. Surrounded by many elements that let you fully experience Shimanto, it’s a place where you can enjoy your journey in the leisurely and rich flow of time. There are also plenty of books in the shared space. Why not become friends with Shimanto?

I was anxious about my first homestay, but Mr. Ono, the host, was very kind, allowing me to spend a fulfilling month. The host has a wide network, so I had the opportunity to interact with many people in the town and have various experiences. Surrounded by the rich nature and warm people of Shimanto, I felt very happy! It's a place where I think, "I want to come back here" 😊 (20s/Female/October Stay/1 Month)
