Minshuku Misakisō

Top choice in Kyūshū


Gracious and friendly, this modern minshuku is a one-stop shop: a place to stay, a (guests-only) bar, a lunchtime cafe and a surf-rental outlet (boards from ¥3000; cafe and rental closed Wednesday). Rooms are mainly Japanese style, with one Western option. All are clean and very convenient for surfers or sunbathers: just cross the street and you're at the beach.

No English is spoken, but the owners are friendly and warm.

The cafe (mains ¥600 to ¥700, lunch set ¥850, open 11am to 3pm) does curry rice, chikin nanban (sweet fried chicken served with tartar sauce) and other simple dishes.
