Quan Japanese Room OceanView PrivateSauna Retreat

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," Quan aims to provide guests with a variety of soothing experiences, including a sauna, and a sense of inner peace 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.
