Home in Shodoshima

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.

Villa in Sanuki

AaR Villa Sanuki Tsuda [Setouchi Ocean Front Villa]

"Reset · Reborn · Restart" Described by people overseas as the "Aegean Sea of Japan", "With a beautiful view over a wide area, there is nothing better anywhere in the world" the Seto Inland Sea is so scenic that it is said to be the "Japanese Aegean Sea" by people from overseas. The 88 sacred sites of Shikoku, opened by Kobo Daishi Kukai, Shikoku is a place where the culture of hospitality, represented by the "Osettai" that surrounds it, is alive and well. Nowadays, I hear that many people come from abroad to seek the purpose of life and to heal their minds.   A culture of rich nature and hospitality. And a peaceful climate. The "healing" power generated from them is what fascinates people.   What you can do because of this place. Something that can only be done in this place.   Healing the mind, healing the body, We want to provide a time and space to pause and listen to your inner voice. I hope this place will help those who visit take the next step.

Farm stay in Gurye-eup

Damurak - Jiri Mountain, Seomjin River, and a farm in the forest!

It is completely embraced in the arms of Jirisan, and the Seomjin River looks beautiful in the farm. We are with the farm in the beautiful forest, so you can relax your mind and body. Experience an empty mind under the starry night sky. Our Damurak Space and Baekpopnori Farm are going to create a "trip to take care of the earth". If the form of travel has been consumption and satisfaction, wouldn't traveling with "emptiness and care" be a wonderful travel scene that our generation is making for the next generation? The journey of "emptying and caring" begins with simplifying the food you eat and minimizing waste. Grilling and eating meat can now be removed from your travel to-do list. Why not try the experience of emptying your body and mind lightly and becoming one with nature at our farm and accommodation? After your booking is confirmed, please contact us directly by text or phone. This is because Airbnb Talk tends to fail to give clear notifications.

Tiny home in Shinano

Enjoy the view of Lake Nojiri, with a private sauna, Anoie (あの家)

This house overlooks Lake Nojiri and has a superb view. There are several ski resorts (Myoko, Kurohime, Madarao) about 15-20 minutes away by car, making it a perfect base for winter sports. Enjoy the wood stove sauna and the water bath with a view. There are no private houses around, so you can listen to music and watch movies loudly. Because it is a house located deep in the mountains, we take the best measures, but in the warm season, insects come out. It snows a lot in winter. In autumn, fallen leaves dance. You will also need to adjust the wood stove fire yourself. It's not an easy house to live in, but we promise you a great view and experience. Enjoy cooking with a counter kitchen with a view, condiments and cooking utensils. (There is no equipment for BBQ)
