Benton Guesthouse Ōmishima

  Bardzo ładny dom. Niczego nie brakowało i było czuć tradycyjny klimat.

  Dani was so helpful when we arrived late. The deserted house was very clean with everything we need. The walking path around the house smelt good. We had a great... read more time here.

Highly recommended.

  We had a fantastic stay at Dani's akiya - one of the absolute highlights of our trip! My husband & I had cycled to the island as part of the... read more Shimanami Kaido tour during our honeymoon in Japan. For those of you considering doing the same it's in the perfect midway point, with plenty to do on the island for an overnighter and beautiful surroundings. Dani was so helpful, came to meet up and give us a full tour and was super helpful and flexible with us throughout our communication. The akiya is wonderfully renovated, with helpful notes around the house to ensure a comfortable stay. The only worry I had before our stay was countryside spiders and other creepy crawlies, but Dani has kept the place spotless so we did not need to worry! Wish we could have stayed longer - thank you again!

  It was an amazing experience to stay in this old style Japanese house! They have done the renovation in the right way; modern comfort without sacrificing the traditional charm.. We... read more all loved the furniture and decorations in the guest house. They are from the 60s~80s.
I would definitely recommend the place for anyone who's looking for a true Japanese experience.

  We stayed at Benton Guesthouse for one night in September. The accommodation was beautifully finished in traditional Japanese style with interesting vintage touches, was spotlessly clean, comfortable and had every... read more amenity we needed. The air-conditioning was a welcome surprise in the hot and humid weather. Dani provided recommendations on local activities and places to eat including great restaurants within walking distance. The local area is very peaceful and an easy stroll to the sea. The sunset was beautiful too. Highly recommended!

  Beautifully and thoughtfully renovated traditional home in the countryside in the tranquil setting that is Omishima Island. We enjoyed the many personal touches throughout the house. We were also grateful... read more to meet and chat with the people responsible for this gem and get to know their homesteading project a little more.

  Dani was a great host that made the stay very special. Would return to this Air BnB in the future!

  What a beautiful home, we loved the authentic feel of an older Japanese house but with all the modern amenities. Such a lovely peaceful area and it's a shame we... read more only had time to stay one night. Thank you very much for having us.

  Dani et Evan ont été des hôtes extraordinaires. Très réactifs et très prévenants. L’un de nous a chuté à vélo avant d’arriver au logement. Non seulement Dani et Evan se... read more sont préoccupés de la gravité de la chute mais Evan a conduit le blessé à l’hôpital et l’a aidé à s’y faire comprendre.

  大三島を訪れた際は是非また利用したいです！

  we waren al in de grote steden en op het platteland tijdens onze reis, maar op Benton Homestead kwamen we echt even tot stilstand..de lome warmte die binnen heel... read more goed te doen was wegens koekje kamers maar buiten voor prachtig landschap zorgde en heerlijke stranden om af te koelen. Het huisje zelf is zo'n mooi eerbetoon aan de cultuur en architectuur en Evan en Dani hebben er een monument van gemaakt dat toch van alle gemakken is voorzien. Altos weer even terug waren in onze kindertijd naar dan met de luxe van nu. wauw, heel veel dank gaat we even bij jullie mochten blijven!

  Dani and Evan’s hospitality began before we even arrived with the aircon and fans already on when we arrived. They are awesome hosts and the guesthouse has been renovated... read more well with lovely old Showa-era touches to retain that retro feel!
Everything was super clean and the local seafood restaurant was great. Dani is a brilliant host who even accompanied us to some local sights on the island. We had an awesome stay. We wholeheartedly recommend you stay here for a relaxing experience. Thanks for having us!

  We had a great stay in an awesome house. Danielle met us when we arrived, was very friendly and gave a quick tour of the house. The area is quiet... read more and you can feel the history of the village in the surroundings as well as the items that are preserved from the previous owner.

  昭和の古き良き「おばあちゃんの家」といった感じの日本家屋ですが、室内は必要なリフォームがされており、清潔でした。家の周りは静かで自然環境もよく、リラックスして広々と滞在することができました。

また、ホストのダニさんとエバンさんはとても親切で、周辺のおすすめスポットなども教えてくれ、総じて安心して滞在できました。大三島に来たらぜひまた泊まりたい、思い出の場所です。

Would definitely consider staying here again!

  大三島の農村地帯の中にあり、夜は静かで、農村の雰囲気がじっくり味わえるとことでした。今回は2人での滞在でしたが、数人でに滞在に適しているような広さでした。オーナーの人柄も良く、リラックスでき、快適な滞在でした。
ありがとうございました。
