Visited in August 2021. It was a wonderful old private house auberge. On the way back from Imabari, we stayed with 3 parents and 3 children (one 3rd grade elementary school student). The room had an extra futon on a twin bed. Everything was renovated and I was able to sleep comfortably in a clean Japanese-style room. Also, the food was delicious, and the seafood of Kasaoka was impressive. I think Kasaoka is probably the only place where you can eat raw mantis shrimp. In addition, deep-fried pelagic sea bream, locally called “nebuto”, is a gem that can only be eaten here. The living room (hall) on the first floor is a place where guests gather, and you can enjoy a relaxing time. On the way back, I stopped by the nearby Kasaoka City Horseshoe Crab Museum and enjoyed it. I think it is recommended to spend slow time with important people.
