Lemon tree hotel
Lemon Tree Hotel – The Main House The tranquillity of Ogijima, where the unfinished is cherished. There's nothing useful here. However, I want you to surrender to only that which stimulates your five senses. A traditional kominka house that cherishes the concept of "unfinished" and weaves 120 years of history.Climb the labyrinthine stone steps and surrender yourself to a bedroom that seems to float on the sea, and you will feel the heartbeat of the Seto Inland Sea right there.This place, born from a dialogue with architect Yoshiyuki Abe, is an art hotel that embodies the memory of the land.Your stay here is a story in which you become part of the island. ◆ Access to the Seto Inland Sea and Ogijima The following route is convenient as a continuation of your journey from Naoshima. ● Public transport: Naoshima → Takamatsu Port → Ogijima (ferry) ● Boat taxi: A 30-minute adventure from Naoshima to Ogijima (advance booking required) ◆ A meal that showcases the island's bounty: a pescetarian meal crafted from the land's bounty.A story of the cycle created by local fish and home-grown herbs (dinner and breakfast, ¥5,500 per person *Vegan options available). ◆ Island travel support: We support your trip from the perspective of an islander, even before your stay.(A request form will be sent after booking)

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 accepting pets for accommodation. If you would like to do so, please contact us before making a booking. 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 accommodation 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.

All-you-can-use sauna, private rental, old private house
This private traditional kominka guesthouse was lovingly renovated by the owner, JP, a DIY enthusiast, who envisioned his ideal way of life, transforming a 150-year-old traditional house. The stand-out feature of this inn is its one-of-a-kind ‘egg sauna’. This is a fully DIY sauna, developed entirely by JP from design to production, featuring a unique shape that allows heat to circulate naturally.Enjoy a sauna experience you can only have here, surrounded by the gentle warmth of a wood-burning stove. Inside, there is also an irori (traditional hearth) characteristic of a traditional kominka house. You can experience traditional Japanese living, whether it’s enjoying a hotpot around the irori (traditional hearth) or grilling skewers. *Please bring your own ingredients and cooking utensils, such as skewers. The inn is located in a quiet hamlet called Kobusa, nestled in the mountains of Mimasaka City, Okayama Prefecture. Right nearby is Nishi-Awakura Village, which is attracting attention as a village focused on regional revitalisation and relocation, and which is surrounded by a beautiful, nature-rich ‘satoyama’ landscape.
