    The place is big and clean. The bed is also comfy. And the price is also not bad. The host, Ryusan, is also very nice and understanding. He waited for us to check-in eventhough we were late for almost 15 mins.

We can provide our guests with plenty of ideas for enjoying the area through sightseeing and outdoor sports.
Welcome to Cosmos Guesthouse. Enjoy travelling to the Iya Valley, one of the three hidden places in Japan, for a unique experience. Let's enjoy outdoor sports such as kayaking and trekking.
First of all, you can get various information by going to the roadside station Oboke. There is also a café and souvenir shop on site. The grocery stores that are close to our inn and can be walked to are Boke Mart and Tosaya. Even if you don't have a car, the city bus is very convenient and sightseeing in the Iya Valley is not difficult. And Oboke is also called the sacred place of kayaking. If you want to have that experience, you can also apply. I, the owner, will guide you to the river. In addition, we will pick you up and drop you off at our guest house, so you can feel free to participate.
