Hidaka-mura Vacations from ￥43,078

I had an absolutely fabulous stay at Doodoo Café & Guesthouse! This wonderful family-run establishment was one of the highlights of my visit to Kochi. Taro, Kanayo, and their children were incredible hosts. They were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful in every way, making me feel right at home. One of the most memorable experiences was the live music the family performed for about half an hour before dinner, including songs by the Beatles and other classics. They are genuinely talented musicians, and it made the evenings especially enjoyable! The food was fantastic! Every evening, they serve a delicious curry made from a recipe shared by fellow travelers. Breakfast was equally impressive, with wonderful breads, soups, and other freshly prepared dishes. What makes this place truly special is the warmth and generosity of the family. They genuinely care about their guests and go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. These are exactly the kinds of small, family-run businesses that deserve our support. They offer an experience you simply cannot find at a typical hotel. Thank you, Taro, Kanayo, and family, for your incredible hospitality! I sincerely appreciate everything you did. Whenever I return to Kochi, I will absolutely stay here again! Highly recommended!

The room size and breakfast selection are on par for a budget hotel, but it is very clean and stylish. It is a bit of a walk from the station, but there is also a tram running along the main street that you can take. It is located right next to a cluster of restaurants, many specializing in local cuisine. Many convenience stores located nearby as well.

My stay at Guesthouse Lululu was lovely! The room was clean and spacious, and the staff was very friendly. I was able to check in over the phone, and parking was easy once I contacted to property to reserve a spot. If I return to Kochi, I will definitely stay here again! Thank you!
