川辺の一軒宿 Togu tsubakiyama

We would like you to enjoy a relaxing stay, so we have set the check-out time to 2 pm. Located on a stone embankment where two rivers converge, this renovated traditional Japanese house is a private room-only accommodation on a wooded property. There are no buildings in sight, and you can enjoy the sound of the river, the sound of birds, and a sense of unity with nature. The water is spring water (water quality has been inspected). Depending on the season, people come to the river next to the inn to play in the river or head to Kappa Falls. If the weather is good, you can enjoy playing in the river, as well as a BBQ or bonfire (depending on the season and weather, this may not be possible) using the ingredients you bring. (Please be careful when handling fire.) There are also cooking utensils, a microwave and tableware, so you can stay with peace of mind. If you walk upstream along the riverside path, you will find the Kappa Falls about 150 metres ahead. Please make sure to prepare food and drinks, such as dinner, before check-in.(It takes about 20 minutes by car to the supermarket) The last 400m to the accommodation is narrow and difficult to navigate, Once you arrive at "Camu Tsubaki-yama", we will be happy to show you around.

Beachfront Traditional Japanese House – IBII STAYⅡ

Wake to the sound of waves, and dive into the sea. Fall asleep to that same sound each night. This coastline is Japan's "nangoku" — sunny, palm-lined, and warmed by the Kuroshio Current. Surf, walk the shore, or simply breathe in the sea air, and watch the sun rise over a quiet fishing village at dawn. The house is a little old, with limited air conditioning and the occasional insect — but cozy under the kotatsu in winter, cooled by sea breezes in summer. An undiscovered side of Japan awaits.
