Perfect stay for Iya Valley
Pros:

The location, the food, front of house was grandma a fabulous lady. We loved being able to use the hotel up the road Onsen facilities. Grandma arranged for us at very preferential rates and we used the outdoor one, perfect view after going up in the vernacular cabin.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about as it was exactly as described

豐盛的早晚餐和親切貼心的服務
Pros:

住宿地點在祖谷藤蔓橋附近、一個人不到台幣2000就包含一份豐盛的晚餐和早餐，我們下午提前抵達但是行李很重就先提到旅館寄放，然後外面就開始下雪了🤣店家還提供雨傘叫我們小心點，逛完附近行程走累加上變冷就回旅館入住，會先詢問好每個人的飲食禁忌和約好晚餐早餐的時間，晚上吃太飽想出去散步老奶奶還提供手電筒給我們使用、看我們約最早的早餐時間也問是要搭8:11的公車齁，隔天下去早餐都已經準備好了很貼心。啊房間放的點心很好吃可惜問了說沒有賣🤣

Cons:

缺點大概就是衛浴必須共用還有房間插頭有點少，說隔音不好但我們入住的旅客除了一家帶兩個小孩的比較吵以外（還好他們住2樓我們住3樓影響不大）其他都還ok

四國德島的山區祖谷，是電影「村之寫真集」的拍攝地，很純樸美麗的山谷。 祖谷觀光旅館在藤蔓橋附近，是一位奶奶經營的，雖然只有我一個客人，但服務和餐點完全不馬虎。奶奶的英文發音沒有日本口音，太讓人佩服了。 我們用英文和日文溝通，奶奶今年78歲。

Pros:

My perfect introduction to a ryokan stay. The host was hospitable and made sure I was comfortable. The breakfast and dinner was so delicious, including local foods. The room itself was comfortable and the location a perfect place from which to explore the beautiful Iya Valley. Transport was also relatively easy: caught a local bus from Oboke Station, which ran even during the New Year holiday period (check times though and opt for earlier services in case).

Pros:

The host was incredibly welcoming and had run a hot bath ready for us. The rooms were quite large and the futons very comfortable. Great location opposite the vine bridge.

Pros:

Simple accomodation run by a couple of friendly grandmas. They made one of the best meals I had throughout my 1.5 months in Japan. Highly recommend staying here if you're in the area. I don't recommend traveling with large suitcases as you have to walk uphill and downhill to get to this accomodation. Also the stairs inside the ryokan is pretty steep but overall it's a a fantastic stay.
