Pure Japanese architecture/Tatami/Free parking/Bell dumbbell/Martial arts sandbag/Golf/Billiards/BBQ

Stay in this Japanese tatami style, stylish and unique, start a memorable trip. From Kurashiki Station, it is 2.5 km in a straight line.The property is on the very top of the hill.Before becoming a B&B, it was a small famous Beizhenyaojia village (Bagangyao), which still retains the kiln, and the high smoke window is also a scenic line.Going forward is the two small wooden doors close to the side of the road, a bit old.Entering the door and stepping under your feet is the floor before preparation, as it is precious only a small piece of space in front of the door.There is also a corridor in front of the side store and a part of the exterior wall.Because the overall structure is wooden, the doors and windows are also made of quaint kraft paper.The moment you go up the stairs into the room, it's a fluttered tatami scent.Very Japanese style.Dreaming into a different life on a tatami. Let's get to know each other, walk all the way, thank you for meeting, because you, the world has become colorful... With the existence of I Love Kurashiki B&B, I will strive to become that "bridge", connecting friends in and out of different areas in and out of the sea... A short escape from the hustle and bustle, and "hide" in I Love Kurama B&B, enjoy the tranquility of the body and mind, so that the body and mind can be vacated and suspended... If this can be brought to the people here, it will be the "bridge" that people have in their hearts to the passage, and go directly to the other side of the people... Who will be the next group? Is that you? We look forward to hosting🤝 you.... A person who opened a homestay with the dream of inheriting Chinese martial arts dreams.

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.

Sakura-sou/Naoshima Guest House Sakura-so, a 50-year-old house, whole house rental, 2-6 guests

I've updated the photos of the room. The bunk bed in the Western-style room has been removed and replaced with two single beds. The maximum number of guests has been changed to 6. If you already have a reservation for 7 or more people, you can stay with the same number of people without any changes. Naoshima has become a tourist destination not only for Japan but also for the whole world. What changes, what doesn't. Each blends naturally, and the air flows in a way that can only be experienced in Naoshima. You'll feel it even more by staying on Naoshima. Sakura-so opened in the summer of 2014. It is a guest house with a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere. 5-minute walk from the center of Naoshima's Miyanoura. It is located in a very quiet place. There is a Japanese-style room with futons (up to 4 people) and a Western-style room with 2 single beds (2 people). You are renting the entire property. We welcome everyone from small groups to families. Updated June 26, 2024

A-R 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.

HANATSU: Stylish, Comfortable Gateway to Naoshima

Hanatsu means 'let go'. We designed this place so you can relax and let go in the busy-ness of travel through the ideal of "shibui" (subdued and simple). Here we are proud to offer the feeling of Japan in a comfortable private whole house; the beauty of tatami, earthen walls, sliding doors, tile and washi (Japanese paper). The Uno port ferry is 3 min by nearby train (14 by EA bike) so we serve as an ideal gateway to the Inland Sea islands, including of course Naoshima, Teshima and Inujima.
