Osamijima, Shimanami Kaido. A large deck with a view of the sea and the sunset. Open-air bath with a view of the sea. Seaside retreat
This accommodation is limited to one group per day and allows you to enjoy the beauty of the many islands in the Seto Inland Sea and the sunset. Designed by the host, an architect who has won numerous awards overseas. Not extraordinary, but a "delicate life" with the theme of enriching everyday life. You can experience that kind of life here. There is a separate indoor bath from the Hinoki bath, but the view of Setouchi and the starry sky from the Goemon bath, heated with firewood, is the best. If you're lucky, you'll see artificial satellites and meteors. The water heated by firewood never gets cold. It warms you from the core of your body. The bedding is specially ordered from a long-established bedding manufacturer in Kyoto, and the bath invites you to relax your body and mind and sleep soundly. Most guests say they sleep well. During the day, you might want to spend some time in the lounge filled with houseplants. Enjoy the sunlight shining through the trees from the skylight. Here, the right answer is to do nothing and just be. How about emptying your mind? If you request at least a week before your stay, we can prepare local food from Oshima Island and seasonal food that we can get through a special route. If you wish, you can also dine at a counter made of pure cedar, similar to a traditional Japanese restaurant.

Sanchi, a private rental inn with a panoramic view of the Northern Alps
Take a trip to enjoy the scenery that can only be found here. Located in the northeast of Azumino, the former Meiko-cho overlooks the Northern Alps, Meiko is a place where the Sai, Takase, and Hotaka rivers converge, and is blessed with abundant spring water. There is a "beautiful scenery and tranquility that you want to leave behind" here We renovated an old building in Meiko, revived it into a retro-modern space, and created a rental inn. We put our heart into it, hoping that you will spend a rich and luxurious time relaxing and enjoying the air of Azumino It is a 5-minute walk from the facility to Meiko Station, and you can get to Matsumoto Station in two stops on the Shinonoi Line, so you can sightsee in Matsumoto It is also easy to get to Nagano. Mt. Nagamine, the abandoned railway tracks, Daio Wasabi, Shiratori-toori, and more are nearby Enjoy sightseeing in Azumino The Maekawa River flows right in front of the house, and you can go canoeing, rafting, and sup. There is a "Ryumonbuchi Canoe Stadium" that you can walk to, so it is also a great place for practice. Kyuakashina is a local town, not an urban area, There is nothing around here because it is not an urban area, but but it is recommended for those who are interested in rural living and relocation, or those who are considering living in the area.

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.
