Some info has been automatically translated.
Guest House Mado is located on the old shopping street in Soja City, Okayama Prefecture. It's a relaxed, homely place to stay, converted from a private house. 6-minute walk from Higashi-Soja Station and 18 minutes from Soja Station, so it's a great base for exploring both Okayama City and Kurashiki City. There are convenience stores, supermarkets, and a drugstore just 5 minutes away on foot.

The space
【1st Floor】
Living Room: Feel free to use the dining table, desk, sofa, and anything else in here. It’s a comfy spot for eating, working, or just chilling out.

Garden: On sunny days, you can hang out on the wooden deck. It’s the perfect place to relax and soak up the morning sun!

Kitchen: The kitchen’s got everything you need—fridge, freezer, microwave, toaster oven, IH stove, portable gas stove, rice cooker, and more. Feel free to use the cooking tools, seasonings, and dishes!
Just remember to separate your burnable trash from recyclables when you throw them away.

Toilet: It's a Western-style toilet with a washlet.
Shower: There's a shower (no bathtub), and we’ve got shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and a hairdryer ready for you.

Just a heads-up—The shower room is quite compact (65 cm × 60 cm × 200 cm) and for one person at a time. It might feel a little tight for taller or larger guests — thank you for your kind understanding.

Washing Machine & Dryer: They're set up in the kitchen area.

【2nd Floor】
Bedroom 1 (Blue Room): Two single beds and a desk.

Bedroom 2 (Brown Room): One queen-size bed and a desk.

During your stay
I love traveling and photography and have traveled around the world. After having great experiences staying with hosts while abroad, I decided to run a guesthouse in my hometown, Soja, where I absolutely love living. My goal is to create a cozy and welcoming place that makes you want to stay longer, offering a warm and thoughtful hospitality. If you need anything or have any questions, feel free to ask!

Other things to note

Smoking Area:
If you wish to smoke, please use the designated smoking area in the garden.

Winter Season:
As the building is made of wood, it can get quite cold during the winter months.
We provide electric blankets and heaters, but we recommend bringing warm clothing, especially on colder days.
