Grassland, birds, and architecture White Bird Rest Area

At an altitude of about 1000 meters at Kobozawa at the southern foot of the Yatsugatake Mountains. This is a private rental accommodation where you can enjoy the wild meadows and forests that spread from the southern end of the residential area, the mountain views, and the starry sky I saw a white rabbit spread its wings and fly up from the meadow. And because the deep white Heike form of the eaves looks like a bird, it was named "WHITE BIRD", and a mural of birds flying in flocks on the wall was painted The building is a unique structure with a central core, large windows on the walls, and an umbrella-like eaves. The bedroom, living room, and kitchen are arranged around the washroom, and each room is gently connected. And the large and small windows everywhere are like picture frames that hold the scenery. From the large window in front of the dining room, you can see the meadows and forests, and on clear days, the Southern Alps The deck goes around the building in a U-shape. I want you to feel the natural wind and light of the southern foothills. The east wing of the garden can be used as an outdoor living room. You might even see birds and wild deer coming to the spring water there This is an inn at the boundary between human life and nature * The capacity is 4 people, but for adults only, it should be no more than 3 people * The displayed price is for up to 2 people, and 10,000 yen will be added for each additional person

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.

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.

Please be aware of this when booking accommodation for children under 12 years of age.
