A panoramic view showcases the lush greenery surrounding traditional buildings, framed by rolling hills and distant trees. Rice fields stretch across the landscape, reflecting the changing sky. The scene captures the tranquility of rural life, offering an inviting atmosphere for relaxation.
Home in Izumo

A simple yet rich rural life that has continued since the Edo period!

Spend a relaxing time with friends around the Irori fireplace. You can enjoy the Goemon bath, kamado, and old-fashioned slow life while feeling the season with the wind and sky patterns (there is a cassette stove, IH heater, and shower). You can also cook with a wood stove and BBQ outdoors.  10 minutes by car from Izumo City Station. Izumo Taisha is 25 minutes away. There is also a hot spring nearby. The 20 tatami mat Japanese-style room is a private bedroom, and the kitchen and toilet are shared. There is a design office in the warehouse, and I work from 8:30 am to 6 pm on weekdays. You can also use the thatched cottage with a good view.  There is also air conditioning, but in the summer, if you open the veranda and hang a mosquito net, the summer night breeze will invite you to sleep comfortably. From spring to autumn, you can hear the nostalgic sounds of frogs, cicadas, and bell crickets.  If you are unfamiliar with charcoal or fire, I can help you if the timing is right. Firewood is free, but please bring your own BBQ charcoal if you use the sunken hearth. It is 1.6 km to the supermarket and 5 km to Izumo Station. It feels good to walk or jog along the Tanabe-michi Road and Kawato-te in the early morning. Please keep pets on the dirt floor. In July and August, please pick blueberries from the garden.

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 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.

Quan Japanese Room OceanView PrivateSauna Retreat

From your room, you can watch the sea change its expression with each passing hour and enjoy the setting sun at sunset. With the theme of "happiness", Quan aims to provide guests with various forms of relaxation and peace of mind, including a sauna, through their stay. During your stay, please feel free to communicate with the host and let us know what you would like, along with the beautiful sea views of Onna Village. Also, please be sure to read the separate section (Other things to note) regarding the use of the facilities. *There is a separate charge for the sauna. ✴︎ Although the photos of the entire inn show that it is connected on the surface, the structure is independent from the entrance of each guest room, so you can enjoy your stay by renting the entire building. ★ Notes regarding children's accommodation (12 years old and under) Since the facilities are wooden buildings, the structure is such that sound easily echoes to the adjacent rooms. There are no handrails on the stairs in the rooms. The handrail on the second-floor balcony is wide, so you need to be very careful. There is a cliff in front of the terrace on the first floor. Please be aware of this when booking for children 12 years old and under.

Japanese-style lighting/BBQ/Irori/15 minutes by car to Ena City/Private rental for one group per day/Old house Mahoroba

Why we created this private lodging, "Mahoroba" 1. I want people to know a little bit about the wonderful illuminations in Japan. 2.
