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.

Quan ~Japanese Room~ Private Sauna & Ocean View from the Terrace & Sunset

From the room, you can see the sea that changes its expression every hour, and the sunset can be enjoyed by the sun. With the theme of “happiness unbound by economics or material possessions,” Quan aims to provide guests with various experiences of healing and inner peace, including saunas and bed spas, throughout their stay. During your stay, we encourage you to communicate with your host and let us know what you would like to experience, accompanied by the beautiful ocean views of Onna Village. Additionally, please be sure to review the separate section (“Other important points”) when using the facility. * Sauna is available for a separate fee. ✴︎ Although the photos of the entire inn appear to show a connected structure, each guestroom entrance is independent, allowing you to enjoy a stay with the entire building rented out to you. ★ Precautions regarding children's accommodation (12 years old or younger) Because the facility is a wooden building, the sound is likely to resonate in the neighboring rooms. There are no handrails on the stairs in the guest room. Please be careful as the balcony railing on the second floor is wide. In front of the terrace on the first floor is a cliff. Please be aware of this when booking accommodation for children under 12 years of age.
