Villa in Izumo

The same price for up to 4 guests. Maximum capacity: 8 people. Spend a relaxing time in a spacious 140 m² rental villa by the river with a view of the beautiful sunset!

A quiet setting surrounded by a small hill and a bamboo grove, where the black and white contrast of plaster and burnt cedar stands out. The majestic Kobe River flows before your eyes, and across its embankment, you can see Mt. Sanbe, which changes its appearance with the seasons. You can enjoy a peaceful time surrounded by nature, with the waterside scenery where ducks, mandarin ducks and swans visit. On the ground floor, there is an open-plan living room with a skylight, two bedrooms, and one tatami room. ※ A sunken kotatsu is provided in winter only. A sailboat-shaped wine rack imported from Spain adds a playful touch to the space, and you can also enjoy the sounds of the guitar and piano. Family and friends can gather and spend a relaxing time. The second floor is a space like a modern café with a retro feel, where exposed earthen walls and retro furniture are complemented by a modern touch with Mina-Per-Honen chairs and a Scandinavian-style sofa. ※ There is a DeLonghi espresso machine. Wake up in the morning to the sound of birds singing and enjoy the starry sky at night with the luxury unique to the countryside. ★ We can also communicate in English and Chinese. ★ For transportation, we recommend using your own car or a rental car. In Izumo, it is quite difficult to get a taxi from anywhere other than the station, and we do not provide a taxi dispatch or arrangement service. ★ Parking for large vehicles (campers, trucks, etc.) is not permitted.

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.
