The Oikushi Peninsula has the sculptural beauty of volcanic eruptions and powdery sandy beaches. 🧘🏼 The moment you step into the sand beige, you may choose an adventure of doing nothing. However, you will be healed by the emerald blue sea in front of you. ⌛️ It seems that walking on the sandy beach with bare feet will remove the electromagnetic waves of the body that are exposed to mobile phones, etc. It seems that modern children can also feel better when they play. ⛴️ Enter the sauna of the ship and experience the sea like the Finnish people! 🐠 3 seconds from the villa!

Shodoshima, 30 seconds to the sea, you can see the sea from any room
This house is built on the quiet seaside in Shodoshima Town. The house was built just for dusk watching the sea and the sunset.Therefore, I apologize for the large number of stairs on the terrace, but I can never call it barrier-free.(I will do my best to help with my luggage, etc.) However, at the end of the high terrace, there is a glittering, calm and beautiful sea in Setouchi, and a kane-colored sunset that changes faces every day. Forget your time and enjoy the extraordinary. *We are currently not allowing pets to stay at the property. Please contact us before booking if you would like to use this service. The interior is accessed by climbing the terrace stairs.It is not handicap accessible. Please be sure to accompany small children or adults when climbing up and down the stairs. Also, on rainy days, there are many stairs, so it may be inconvenient. The road in front of the inn is not paved. Please note that this may be an inconvenience. There is a lot of nature around the inn, so there are definitely insects.Sometimes insects come in together when opening and closing windows and doors.(Especially at night, insects gather in the light of the inn) We are very sorry, but please refrain from staying if you are not good with insects.
