Guesthouse Guest House Wakabaya

760-0076 Kagawa, Takamatsu, Kankocho 603-1, Japan –

Lock in a great price for Guest House Wakabaya – rated 9.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

Nice host, comfort space, even one night stay i feel like a bliss to come here.

Thanawit, Thailand

The owner is super friendly, he is also passionate and experienced in travel information. He would understand your travel preferences and make relevant suggestions to your whole trip (not just for Takamatsu city). The entire hostel is absolutely clean (such that everyone can walk by bare foot) and with free flow of clean towels. The place is also convenient - around 5 min walk from the tram station and 5 min walk from a famous udon place.

Yuen, Hong Kong

The people running the pension are very nice. They advised me some good place to eat. They also provided me a lots of maps, leaflets... They have two very young boys that are very nice! They both speak good french (my mother tongue) as they spent some time in Senegal!

Guillaume, Czech Republic

The nicest host , really helpful and helping. The guesthouse is very clean and comfortable.

Ido, Israel

Mr. Takeshi was very welcoming and so generous and kind! He wa enthusiastic to make my trip in Takamatsu as memorable as possible and even helped me figure out my own itinerary so that everything works out for the best! The guesthouse itself is extremely clean and convenient too. Thank you so much!

H, South Korea

Only a few minutes walk to good transportation possibilities. The owner gave us outstanding directions including timetables to get to several different sites.

Gretchen, United States of America

Hands down the best guesthouse I've stayed at. Everything was perfect! Owner was friendly and helpful. Beautiful house, beautiful rooms. Nice big bunk beds with curtains that provided enough privacy. Bike rental service.

Renee, Canada

It was very clean and everyone was very friendly. there was a common area with a small TV. Many bathrooms and showers were clean and plenty. Owner speaks English well, and enjoys meeting people from other places.

Lily, Canada

Guesthouse was totally clean, almost impeccably so. I felt comfortable walking around in my bare feet at all times, even in the bathrooms! The owner is very nice and helps give you guidance to the places that you plan on visiting. One thing I love about this guesthouse was that they let you have unlimited towels! Take and return them as you please! That's completely unprecedented in all of the hostels/guesthouses I've ever stayed at, which is a lot. Most of the time you have to pay to rent them or they have no towels at all. The guesthouse also has a very comfortable vibe. Much of the guesthouse's interior is made or decorated with an attractive wood, which gives it a relaxing ambiance.

The owner of the hostel is super nice!!! He prepares very nice tea in the morning. He helped me a lot during my visit in Takamatsu, explain me where to buy things how to go where to eat etc.I did enjoy my stay!

Absolutely nothing. It was perfect!😀
It was very new (4 years old) and VERY clean and well maintained. The owners, Takeshi and his wife, were very friendly and super-helpful. Their young children often dropped by to say hello so guests were made to feel part of the family. You can tell the owners are passionate about what they are doing: not only are they running a guest house for international (and Japanese) travelers but also fostering international friendships between individuals (and hopefully between countries too). This is borne out by their multilingual skills and their overseas work experience. Takeshi was very helpful, explaining the best way to get to out of the way places and giving advice about where to eat, how to get there etc. I have NO hesitation in recommending this place to anyone! (BTW, it’s especially good for solo travelers as it’s easy to meet and chat to fellow guests but there are also rooms for couples or families.) A great place!
